Great question. I think I'd say the big difference is that people, for the most part, aren't putting their/others lives in Garmin's hands when they use their devices.

That said, I think they have some hiking/trekking oriented products which could cause problems if you were relying on them.

The headline "electric car fleet hacked" is a lot scarier than "smart watches hacked".

Then again, maybe people really don't give a shit about this stuff, and these bounties are priced correctly.

The pricing on these bug bounties always blows my mind.

If this hack had been exploited Tesla market capitalization would've taken a multi-million if not billion dollar hit. And here they are, paying out relative chump change to a guy that alerted them to it.

Spreadsheets is a really interesting one here. I'm extremely curious to see how No Code tools can be used in corporate environments to replace more advanced spreadsheet-driven workflows.

I don't think they're going away either, but I think there's a lot of value to be unlocked by teaching non-developers how to build basic applications to support their business processes.

For general news: WSJ, FT, and Reuters can't be beat imo.

They're the best news orgs in terms of both substance and level-headed delivery.

Just make sure to skip WSJ's op ed section. It's a dumpster fire, just like NYT's.

NPR is great too.

For more specific topics I subscribe to smaller media orgs.

These include:

1. A few local news outlets that provide daily/weekly newsletters. I pay most attention to this as it has the proportionally largest impact on my daily life.

2. A few newsletters on specific issues of interest to me: current affairs related to China, general finance industry stuff (Matt Levine's Money Stuff), SupChina, FP's weekly China Briefing.

As others have stated, while news does not need to be sensationalize, it will always have bias. I don't think it's worth fighting it. Just find people who have a track record of acting in good faith and listen to what they have to say.

I use the following.

Software Stack:

ScreenFlow for recording/editing. iMovie is garbage. ScreenFlow has a really robust set of keyboard shortcuts that makes editing easy. It's also very explicitly built for screencasts, exactly what it sounds like you want to accomplish. I tried starting with imovie to be cheap but the tool is just awful.

Google Slides (of all things) for generating very basic images/video thumbnails

OBS for any live streaming.

Physical Recording Tools:

- Blue Yeti mic (can be anything though)

- iphone XS Max + tripod + white wall (to record things that look more like talks - you probably don't need this)

Happy to answer any questions. Have been meaning to put together a basic how-to guide for a while. There are surprisingly few people talking about how to make great software screencasts.

edit: formatting

If the website is run as poorly as that article is written I don't have high hopes. They wait until the 10th paragraph to tell you how the hell it works!

Came across this yesterday as well. Was on a slow internet connection and the images failed to load. Pretty neat.
