  1. Weekly output: tech for creators, Xfinity Mobile plans, how 1Password eyes AI, cheaper NextGen TV tuners

    This coming week will not be like the last six and change because my calendar has me sleeping in my own bed every night. That is an exciting prospect after a string of trips that took me to Austin, L.A., Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, San Jose and Las Vegas… but this workweek isn’t free of travel, as I’m taking a day trip to NYC for Uber’s Go-Get press event Wednesday.

    4/21/2026: Out and About with Jefferson and Jules, NAB Show

    I went to the National Association of Broadcasters’ conference for the first time since 2015 for about the same reason as that previous trip: speaking on a panel. This one featured my former USA Today colleague Jefferson Graham and travel journalist Juliana Broste (the last name rhymes with “frosty”) talking about the tools they use to take and share photos and videos from interesting places. Having two people well-versed in speaking on camera on the same stage made my job as a panel moderator easy.

    4/22/2026: Comcast Adds 2 Premium Xfinity Mobile Plans With Global Roaming Included, PCMag

    This post was kind of a disaster, in that Comcast’s embargoed press release left out important details about these new plans and then my PR contact provided also-unhelpful answers to my questions. After seeing the details of these plans Wednesday morning, I rewrote a large chunk of the post from the United lounge at LAS before boarding my flight out of Vegas.

    4/23/2026: 1Password sees AI as both threat and tool, Fast Company

    I interviewed 1Password’s new chief technology officer Nancy Wang in the speaker lounge at HumanX in San Francisco as that room was getting closed down at the end of that conference. I did not write up the interview that night, as I was meeting an old friend for dinner, and then did not get around to writing the story on the flight home.

    4/24/2026: NextGen TV Backers Aim to Advance the Standard With Cheaper Converter Boxes, PCMag

    I returned to the topic of this upgrade to broadcast TV (also known as “ATSC 3.0”) for the first time since 2024 (I think) to cover an initiative aired at NAB to lower the cost of watching NextGen TV broadcasts on sets without compatible tuners. Most new TVs still fall under that description, which is not something I would have predicted four years ago.

  6. Coolest tech I found at #NAB today — 8-channel TV tuner ATSC 3.0 card from SiliconDust; for control over PCIe uses an RP2350 (4x UARTs)z

    Got to talk to Nick Kelsey (President/CTO) about it!

  7. Today, I want to move from a Coles Mastercard credit card to another Mastercard credit card, but which doesn't invest the money I give them in fossil fuels.

    Well, turns out the old Mastercard refuses payments from Mastercard because... reasons?

    So I called to pay on the phone and cancel. They told me to go online. I said it didn't work. But that's the only option. Or I could go to a Post Office to pay.

    They make it really hard to move, heh. Bottomline is, don't use Coles Mastercard.

  8. I have been waiting on an online chat with the NAB for over an hour to get to talk to an actual person. I am now at the stage of wanting to stay online to see how long I have to wait. This is disgusting.

    #NAB #Australia #Banks

  9. @NewtonMark AI Chatbots are a fucking disgrace. If I'm contacting my bank it's because I need a human, I've read the website already.
    I waited 6 hours for a human on #NAB online chat thing. Plenty of time to check all other banks and see how long, even as a non-customer, it took to get to a human. Then I moved all my banking there.
    Still, their utter destestation for customers hasn't reached #HP levels just yet theregister.com/2025/02/20/hp_

  10. @ewen If online contact with any you're considering is something you may use then it can be fun to go and engage each of their online chat/AI/infuriation bots and see how long it takes to get through the shit and deal with an actual human. Tell them why you're contacting them and wish them a nice day.
    I'm nearly done moving all my banking to one based, in part, on how that test went.
    The SIX HOUR wait for a human on #NAB chat bot thing when they last screwed something up was the final straw.

    “NAB had made an application for the default judgement that found in Williams's favour to be set aside.

    The bank said it missed its deadline because it lost the paperwork served by Williams”

    sez everything anyone needs to know about NAB. they are a monolith, and their customer service motto, ime, is “f*** you, we’re bigger than you are and there is nothing you can do about it”. the abuse really is systematic.

    do i still have a NAB account? sure, but only cos i lack the means to live off the grid.

    i don’t know how, but so far have managed to keep my apple wallet empty, and google has no real idea who i am.

    as for Mr Williams, what enormous tenacity, and what excellent taste in scarves. all power to him.

    @lonseidman posted this :

    Public Knowledge, Access Humboldt, Consumer Reports, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Media Council Hawaii, and the Open Technology Institute at New America file an extensive brief on the ATSC 3.0 transition docket with strong arguments against DRM encryption: fcc.gov/ecfs/document/10507175

    That's a long document so I turned to NoteGPT for a summary. This is what it produced. It's still a bit long bit it hits the high points. The entire document is worth reading but I know most people won't read anything that long. Hopefully Lon will do a video about this (on his LonTV YouTube channel) but for now this may be helpful.

    Summary

    The comments submitted by a coalition of advocacy groups, including Public Knowledge, Consumer Reports, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) outline significant concerns regarding the National Association of Broadcasters’ (NAB) petition to mandate a transition from the ATSC 1.0 to the ATSC 3.0 broadcasting standard. The coalition argues that the transition prioritizes broadcaster profits over public interest and threatens access to vital information, particularly for vulnerable and marginalized communities. They claim the proposal relies on Digital Rights Management (DRM), which could lead to privatization of public airwaves, increased consumer costs, and unnecessary electronic waste. The coalition emphasizes that any transition should ensure universal and equitable access, safeguard consumer rights, and incorporate strong public interest obligations, such as enhanced emergency alert systems and accessibility features. The comments call for the rejection of the NAB petition until clear safeguards addressing the concerns raised are implemented.
    Highlights

    🚫 Disenfranchisement Risks: The NAB’s ATSC 3.0 proposal may marginalize low-income and vulnerable communities by requiring expensive new equipment.
    🔒 Privatization of Airwaves: The transition may privatize public airwaves, introducing barriers to access through DRM.
    🌍 Environmental Concerns: A forced upgrade to ATSC 3.0 may lead to widespread electronic waste from discarded older devices.
    💰 Consumer Burden: The cost implications of transitioning to ATSC 3.0 disproportionately affect consumers, particularly low-income households.
    ⚠️ Emergency Alerts: The proposal risks compromising emergency alert systems, especially in times of crisis.
    📡 Public Interest Obligations: New broadcasting standards must include mandatory enhancements for emergency alerting and accessibility.
    🏛️ First Amendment Violations: DRM restrictions threaten fair use rights and could ultimately infringe upon First Amendment protections.

    Key Insights

    📉 Consumer Costs: The NAB proposal raises concerns about increased consumer costs related to upgrading to ATSC 3.0, which may disadvantage those who cannot afford new devices. Studies indicate that ATSC 3.0-capable TVs are significantly more expensive than their predecessors, solidifying barriers to equitable access. This disparity could widen existing digital divides, particularly among rural, low-income, and elderly populations reliant on free over-the-air broadcasting.

    🔄 Digital Rights Management (DRM): The incorporation of DRM into ATSC 3.0 could lead to a streamlined control mechanism that effectively privatizes the previously public domain of broadcasting. This shift may result in broader implications for the way content is accessed and shared, as users often face restrictions that hinder lawful sharing and consumer rights established by copyright law. By conditioning access to content on private approval, the value of public spectrum is fundamentally undermined.

    ♻️ Electronic Waste: The forced transition to ATSC 3.0 could lead to substantial environmental consequences, such as increased electronic waste from discarded older devices that would no longer be operable. The environmental impact disproportionately burdens low-income households, which may not have the means to invest in new hardware, leading to both financial and ecological concerns.

    📡 Mandatory Public Interest Standards: The comments advocate for robust and mandatory public interest obligations tied to ATSC 3.0, including enhanced emergency alert systems and accessibility features for disabled populations. Such standards are essential to ensure that technological advancements genuinely serve the public and do not merely benefit private interests.

    👥 Impact on Marginalized Communities: The transition poses significant risks for marginalized communities, many of whom rely on broadcast television for essential services. The petition could disenfranchise these groups, creating a tiered system of access based on the ability to pay for new technology.

    ⚖️ First Amendment Concerns: The introduction of DRM in ATSC 3.0 raises significant legal questions about free access to public airwaves, particularly concerning fair use rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. This dynamic challenges consumer rights and could foster an environment that stifles innovation and expression, undermining the very principles that underpin democratic discourse.

    🔍 Oversight and Transparency: There is a pressing need for clear rules and safeguards regarding how data collected through the ATSC 3.0 return path can be used, outlining permission processes, the extent of data collection, and the types of disclosures required. The lack of current federal regulations can lead to consumer surveillance under the guise of service enhancement, highlighting the importance of consumer privacy regulations in the new broadcasting landscape.

    In summary, the coalition’s comments critique the NAB’s transition proposal for ATSC 3.0 as fundamentally flawed without robust regulatory protections to ensure that public interests are prioritized. The transition’s potential negative implications—ranging from disenfranchisement of marginalized groups to environmental concerns and First Amendment rights—underscore the need for careful consideration and oversight by the FCC before making changes to the broadcasting standard. The ongoing battle for equitable access to communication services is crucial, especially as technology evolves and new infrastructures are introduced.

  15. @blakeheathsnow Maybe shareholders can pay extra every time they buy or sell #Commbank #Westpac #NAB etc shares. That would be a #fairgo 🤔

  16. Australia's banking system is rigged in favor of the big banks, leading to record profits for them while everyday Aussies struggle with rising interest rates and mortgage repayments. The lack of competition in the banking sector allows banks to pass on costs to borrowers without sharing the benefits with savers, resulting in a massive transfer of wealth from the average punter to bank CEOs and shareholders

  17. Jak je u #BMD zvykem, vydal v rámci svého #NAB 2024 Updatu v pátek 13.4. spoustu nového hardwaru najednou. Budu proto novinky rozdělovat do vícero příspěvků...

    Jako nejzajímavější novinku z mého pohledu vidím přidání Live Replay funkcionality do DaVinci Resolve a vydání souvisejícího hardwarového panelu pro toto řešení.

    Byť se celá novinka zdá být rozhraním a funkcionalitou velice zajímavá, pro mnohé může být odrazující fakt, že se nejedná o dedikované replay zařízení (jako jsou např. Replaye od #EVS nebo #NewTek 3Play) ale o řešení postavené na počítači s DaVinci Resolve, DeckLink kartě nebo BMD Media Playeru, hardwarovém panelu, síťovém switchi a 1 či více rekordérů HyperDeck s potřebnými síťovými funkcionalitami bebo ATEM Mini s ISO recordingem který má být ale oproti Hyperdeckům výrazně pomalejší co se týče přenosové rychlosti. 🤔

    Celý tento řetězec bude tedy zajímavý zejména pro pokročilejší produkce či přenosové vozy, případně pro uživatele, kteří část potřebného hardwaru již vlastní.

    To zda a jak se toto řešení uchytí ukáže až komunita. Otázkou je, zda se neobjeví i mnoho komunitních vylepšení celé workflow.

    Do té doby si myslím, že většina osazenstva této skupiny zůstane u #vMix Replaye a jiných stávajcícíh řešení. 😃

  18. ATOMOS představil Ninja Phone. Jedná se o příslušenství k iPhonu, které z něj vytvoří display a rekordér podobný ostatním produktům této zančky.

    Kromě zobrazování na kvalitní obrazovce iPhonu a 10bitovému ProRes nahrávání uvádí ATOMOS i možnost streamingu "na všechny zásadní platformy" a to i simultánně s nahráváním.

    Očekávat lze pravděpodobně RTMP streaming přímo z aplikace.

    Lze však, vzhledem k charakteru tohoto zařízení, spekulovat, že vzniknou i další komunitní řešení, která nabídnou i výstupy jako je SRT nebo NDI.

    Cena celého zařízení (Ninja Phone + Phone Case) bez iPhone 15 Pro nebo iPhone 15 Pro Max je dle informací ze stánku na právě probíhající #NAB trade show $458, což je při aktuálním kurzu necených 11 tisíc korun nebo 430€

    NAB is a great acronym for a #bank that allows a US-based tech giant, #Akamai, to potentially "#nab"your online #banking information and finances, by just given them the encryption keys to the entire connection.

    Man-in-the-middle attack as a service to our valued members (see also, Medibank).

    Do you know if there is a way to commit bitcoin? Are they running a BTCPayServer for efficient LightningNetwork transactions, for example.

    We would absolutely love to boost this, but we cannot lead people to a cloudFlare (or any CAGEMAfIA) service, like #kickstarter.

    In #Australia all our banks that are not #CommBank, #NAB, or #ANZ are CAGEMAFIA and they are #unbanking people.

    Hope you can understand.
