Medieval Software Update Hysteria with Aral Balkan

Back by popular demand this week is 1Password founder Sara Teare! 🙌 While Matt’s away the cats will play – and bring you a particularly fast and loose episode of Random but Memorable. Yep – we’re breaking all the rules, starting with Four Word Password (instead of three), and an ending so nice we say I love you twice.

We also discuss a whole lot in Watchtower Weekly, including a crucial software update to patch some nasty 'zero-click' iPhone spyware, and how vape receipts helped convict a cyber-criminal who botnetted thousands of passwords! 🤖🚭

Plus, we’re joined again by Small Technology Foundation’s co-founder, Aral Balkan, for part two of our interview, where we discuss everything from ethical design to building the Small Web. We’ll just go ahead and drop that in here.
