  • Resumen

  • On this episode of TechWatch Radio, Sam and Jay dive into a wave of tech frustration, starting with a disastrous Xbox controller firmware update that has rendered some gamepads nearly unusable — and worse, there's no rollback option. They explore the growing pains of an industry pushing constant updates and ask the big question: when is technology "good enough"? From busted game controllers to the maturing console market and lukewarm hardware upgrades, the duo wonders if we're hitting the limit of meaningful innovation.

    Things heat up further with a critical look at Microsoft’s AI ambitions — including the new “rewrite” feature baked into Notepad and the slow demise of WordPad. Is it a helpful tool or just another way to nickel-and-dime users? Sam and Jay debate the real value of AI integration in everyday software and how a credit-based system could sour the experience. They also touch on looming electronics price hikes tied to tariffs, the sustainability of current tech pricing models, and the unintended consequences that might actually push developers to write better, leaner code. It's a full-throttle episode exploring where tech is headed — and whether it's leaving users behind.
