Topics
Leo Laporte: 我主持了本期节目，讨论了CES 2025、山火、Aaron Swartz与Sam Altman的对比、Newag DRM泄露事件、Meta的新闻、维基百科编辑、Robux安全、Twitch主播回归等话题。 Nicholas De Leon: 我是消费者报告的高级电子产品记者，我去了CES 2025，但今年我选择待在家里，因为每年去都差不多，主要还是电动汽车、人工智能和一些新屏幕，其他东西都不怎么样。索尼和本田合作的9万美元电动汽车很糟糕，性价比不高。未来汽车将不可避免地采用订阅模式，但由于数字千年版权法案的限制，用户无法自行修改或破解订阅服务。 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ: 我是数字耶稣会士，我参加了CES 2025，我看到了持续性葡萄糖监测仪等一些有趣的东西，但非侵入式监测仪还需要一段时间才能面世。洛杉矶山火灾情严重，许多人失去了家园，需要捐赠物资和住所。 Cory Doctorow: 我是Pluralistic.net的作者，我讨论了CES 2025上的一些问题，例如智能婴儿产品、AI冰箱等。我还谈到了Aaron Swartz和Sam Altman的对比，以及Newag DRM泄露事件。我认为，电动汽车厂商正在效仿软件行业，将所有东西都变成服务，消费者似乎也接受了这种模式。中国电动汽车价格低廉的原因可能是政府补贴，也可能是其生产成本本身就较低。大多数人的通勤距离并不长，因此短续航里程的电动汽车已经足够满足需求。WatchDuty应用在追踪山火方面非常有用。
