Summary: Today, May 2^nd, TechBytes comes back after 6 years

THIS morning we're reassembling everything for recording, with ever-so-optimistic hopes of more regular releases of episodes. The show will cover topics quite different from what my personal videos cover.

"How frequently episodes are to be released depends on availability of several people, so it's a bit unpredictable."TechBytes covers legal issues and general tech affairs, including Microsoft's demise, the gaming scene, and intersections between law and tech. Tim is more specialised than myself, so the breadth of scope is widened a lot. It's not likely to cover EPO affairs for instance.

Sound System The production will be self-hosted over encrypted (end-to-end encryption) connection and all the software will be Free-as-in-freedom software. How frequently episodes are to be released depends on availability of several people, so it's a bit unpredictable.

We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed. You can also visit our archives for past shows. ⬆

EPO Dictatorship, Facing Growing Pressure From Senior Staff for Breaking Laws and Illegally Running the System, Turns to "Young Professionals" (to Crush Voices, Rights, and Benefits): The European patent system has become a bloody jungle and the "courts" are themselves a violation of the law.
