Welcome back to a new episode of our currently not so Weekly Braindump! This episode is a lot more code heavy - in fact we start off by telling you a bit about Nico's latest struggles using gRPC, a relatively new framework from Google, and how he managed to resolve them. We also get into a discussion about the current state of the well-known Things App and about the features that seem to be missing in our opinion. Enjoy! We've decided to go on a little break and plan on coming back within the ne...

Hey there, it's us again - the podcast about everything and nothing - with the first episode recorded in the same room! Why can a sense of community be so important?

Today's episode felt like going through some newspaper talking about the latest tech news. If there really was such a newspaper the table of contents would include Tim Cook's input on crypto, some ads about wearing masks, Twitter's ne paid service and Facebook's (Meta's) Metaverse on the main page.

We all have this one, sometimes weird, niche we follow on Youtube. For some it's the basic cat videos, others watch conspiracy theories and some simply love to dwell in the good old fail videos.

What a provocative title one might say! Why choose it then? Within the world of billionaires having the most money seems to have become a rather less important status. It's the access to space that is receiving the highest honours in recent times and big names like Branson, Musk and Bezos are proving it.
