About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Digital Wallets in Ireland, the cancellation of Samsung's Galaxy Z Trifold, Meta's Metaverse decision, and features an interview about a 6G testbed at University College Dublin.

As the government looks toward Digital Wallets to enforce age limits for under-16s, we ask is this a convenient security solution or simply a massive new attack surface for your biometric data? We also find out why Samsung pulled the plug on the Galaxy Z Trifold and Meta pulled the plug on the Metaverse. To wrap things up, we take you to University College Dublin. Niall Kitson speaks with the team at the School of Computer Science about their pioneering 6G testbed. We find out why 6G isn’t just about faster YouTube downloads, but rather a complete overhaul of network automation and cybersecurity. —----- Listen to Tech Radio now on Apple, Spotify and YouTube https://www.podfollow.com/tech
