| Webcams: TM 323 Short Version | 15 Sep 2024 | 00:40:10 | |
Welcome back to Tech's Message! This week, in our inaugural episode of the new Tech's Message era, we're discussing the history of webcams. For Patrons, we also discuss Apple's recent announcements and Ian's decision to invest some serious cash in one of the products. Here are some links to various things we discussed in the show: Webcams look like balls: https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/18lzalf/not_sure_if_1999_counts_as_vintage_already/ Intel Easy PC Web Cam: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/mf0zea/first_webcam_i_purchased_early_2000s Webcam reviews and prices from CNET circa 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000411021102/http://cnet.com/hardware/search/results/0,10238,0-1085-402-0-1,00.html?tag=st.co.1078.dir.1085-402-0 Wirecutter guide to modern webcams: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-webcams/ Computer Chronicles webcam episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4mxg4pBgIw The greatest defunct Web sites and dotcom disasters: https://web.archive.org/web/20080607211819/http://crave.cnet.co.uk/0%2C39029477%2C49296926-2%2C00.htm Apple VideoPhone: https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/1due7sk/apple_videophone_video_conferencing_1996_style/#lightbox The complete, ad-free episode is available via Patreon subscription and includes our weekly news discussion, extended segments, outtakes and more.

Ian and I took nine months off from podcasting, but rest quite assured: it wasn't in order for him to gestate and pass our baby. In this bonus episode, I'll explain the actual reason for our absence and our plan for a new era of Tech's Message, which begins on this very day -- look out for episode 323 in your feed shortly! We're really grateful to everyone who's kept our feed in their podcatchers and stuck with their Patreon membership until we were ready to return. We've got some cool plans for the show and we'll welcome your feedback. Onwards! Nate & Ian Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Back From The Not-Actually-Dead: TM 313 Short Version | 16 Oct 2023 | 00:30:30 | |
Honestly, you take one several-month hiatus without really communicating why, your website expires and emails stop being delivered, and all of a sudden people thing the podcast has died. We joke about things because it's easier than taking responsibility for them. But we are still a living, breathing podcast; Ian hasn't angered himself into an early grave, nor has Nate got bored of podcasting now he has a TV show. Thanks for sticking with us, and sorry again for the silence. We're back though and very glad to be! Show notes will follow once the website has been migrated to a new server. Basically, paying Squarespace close to £150 a year just to host some text felt overkill. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Here’s What £16,000 Of Loot Boxes Gets You: TM 212 | 12 Jul 2020 | 00:32:56 | |

Nate bought more than £16,000 of currency in Asphalt 9: Legends for about £30, but it revealed just how much money is required to really unlock things within free-to-play games, as not even this money unlocked everything possible. Unreal’s new iPhone app does live motion capture with Face ID sensors PLUS: Actor and motion-capture artist Marta Svetek joins to give her opinion on Epic’s latest mo-cap product. Patreon supporters have access to our ad-free, longer version of the show, which includes the above as well as additional discussions about: Broader discussion on loot boxes and it’s impact on the fun we have playing; also, let’s discuss how fair it is that I can spend the equivalent of £16,000 on speccing up cars that I use to race against real players, realistically none of whom were able to get the deal I got but also could still pay the money to get the same benefits — if the loot box luck was open their side. Am I cheating? If the game is pay to win anyway, why not? - Outtakes and more!

| LIVE FROM LOCKDOWN: An Evening With Tech’s Message: TM 200 | 05 Apr 2020 | 00:59:38 | |
A live special episode with a studio audience formed of participants from Europe to Scandinavia to the U.S. to Australia—listening and laughing live, as we present the funniest failures and hottest highlights from the last hundred episodes of Tech’s Message. Recorded live on Saturday 4 April. Two-hundred episodes, five years, a million downloads, a global Webby Award nomination and a loyal community of thousands of amazing listeners and Patrons. It’s not been a bad life for Tech’s Message so far! But those milestones have coincided with a global pandemic that’s miserable and deadly. We’re locked in our houses, or sick—or both. The world needs laughter more than it needs two bearded BFFs talking about broadband, so we made episode 200 something really special: a live taping with our Patrons as a live studio audience spread across four continents. Ian and Nate present a collection of the most lighthearted outtakes, popular rants, opinions about shoehorns, bizarre non-sequiturs and other nostalgic gems from the last 100 episodes of the show. The clips were edited in advance into eight categories and were played out in front of a virtual audience. They’re joined by Tom Merritt, Andy Hoyle, Marta Svetek, plus dozens of Patreon supporters, friends and family.
