TechTime with Nathan Mumm

Cybersecurity headlines might have you worried about the so-called "new" 16 billion credential leak, but don't panic! We break down why this widely-reported security breach isn't actually new at all—we covered it on Tech Time Radio six months ago. Learn why two-factor authentication is your best defense and how this compilation of previously leaked data affects your digital security.
The tech and military worlds are colliding as executives from OpenAI, Meta, and Palantir join the Army Reserve as lieutenant colonels. But there's a twist: these digital leaders are skipping traditional boot camp for "express training." We dive into the controversy and debate whether tech expertise should override traditional military integration processes or if this risks creating officers without proper understanding of military culture.
Gaming gets bizarre with "Date Everything"—a dating sim that lets you romance inanimate objects in your home that garnered a million downloads in just 24 hours. From washing machines to microwave ovens, this game raises fascinating questions about our relationship with technology and objects. We also explore Splitgate 2's unusual feature that gives players a 1-in-100 chance of emitting a fart sound when crouching, which adds a surprising tactical element to gameplay.
Don't miss our Two Truths and a Lie game, Mike's mesmerizing moment on the psychological implications of dating simulators, and our whiskey tasting featuring Old Grandad Bonded Bourbon. Plus, we unveil MidJourney's new video generation capabilities and what they mean for creators.
