From Smart TVs to Smarter AI: Is the Future Finally Plug-and-Play?

In this lively episode of TechWatch Radio, Sam and Jay take you on a tour through today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape—from the dazzling advances in AI to the stubborn frustrations of modern hardware. Jay shares a firsthand interaction with ChatGPT that showcases just how intuitive and proactive AI has become, offering reminders, updates, and summaries without being asked. The duo explores the deeper implications of having an assistant that might soon be smarter (and more in charge) than its user.

From there, it’s a whirlwind of tech hot takes: new memory standards (CU-DIMM), the push for universal USB-C connectors, and a plea for "Operation Stable"—a call to end the madness of endless reboots, driver issues, and flaky device connections. They also dive into the future of smart TVs, the growing dominance of browsers (especially Chrome), and Firefox’s latest update with vertical tabs and PNG image handling. Throw in some CES gadgetry, a debate over browser bloat, and the fate of ad blockers, and you've got a fast-paced, insightful, and highly entertaining breakdown of where tech is heading—and what still needs fixing.
