Rob Pegoraro looks at consumer electronics
After recovering from the Consumer Electronics Show, Rob Pegoraro will stop by and give his take on the smoke and mirrors of hardware and software marketing.
Some of his bullet points:
My changing tech toolset: how I changed out notetaking apps only weeks before CES, the only way I regularly apply AI to my work, and my decision to fire Intuit from tax-prep work.
A year and change of Trump 2.0 tech policy: control-freakery at the FCC, dereliction of duty in Congress, and more thrilling news about the state of technology policy these days.
My sense of where self-driving cars are heading: I've now taken rides in Waymo, Zoox and Tesla vehicles without a human at the wheel, but that doesn't mean I'm universally sold on the concept.
Whither the Washington Post: what it's been like to watch the mothership steered onto the rocks, and how I've been going in finding replacement sources for local news.
Expect some thoughts houghts on journalism in the 21st century, and his usual brand of thoughtful honesty about technology and what it can do for the average human being.
