E3 2019 may be over but we're still not over the scintillating announcements we heard. Our "game-gbee" staff at Afdtechtalk knocked themselves out with all the shows from Microsoft, Nintendo and Square Enix. Plug in your earphones and get lost in the sauce.

Today, Apple will hold its opening keynote for the 2019 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Jose.

At the AFD HQ, Edudzi interviews Kwamina & Selorm, two hardcore Android fans about what they would like to hear today that could potentially sway them from Android to iOS.

S1:E9 “Why is Huawei on America's Entity List?” May 29, 2019

Show notes

Before anything else, we'd like to apologize for the quality of the audio you are about to listen to. We had an issue with one of the cables and it resulted in this incessant and irritating buzzing feedback you will hear throughout the audio. This effect is reduced if you listen through speakers, so we recommend using that instead of earphones.

The brewing trade-war between US and China has resulted in Huawei, a global tech company ending up on the US Entity List. Shortly after this announcement, key US companies including Google, Qualcomm & Microsoft have started distancing themselves from the Chinese giants. On today's episode, our panelists (Shalom Akinboboye, Edudzi Nyomi, Hakeem Adjei & Kwamina Arthur) and immaculate host Nii Akwei discuss the big picture and high level ramifications for Huawei and its ambition to become #1 in the smartphone industry.

S1:E8 “We woke up today and there was no internet!” May 21, 2019

Show notes

We've become so used to the internet that it's very hard to imagine how daily routines and tasks will be completed without access to the world wide web. Today, we try to imagine how life's going to be without the internet.

S1:E7 “Let's go for a ride in a self-driving Tesla Uber” May 14, 2019

S1:E6 “The Big Boeing Theory” May 06, 2019

Show notes

Google I/O brings together developers from around the globe for talks, hands-on learning with Google experts, and a first look at Google’s latest developer products. This year's edition kick-starts on the 7th of May through to the 9th of May. Ahead of this event, Afdtechtalk staff have some predictions of how this event will unfold. We then turn our attention to Boeing and its fiasco with 737 Max 8 and very recently a 737 that skidded off into a river shortly after take-off. We discuss the motivations for Boeing's rushed Max 8 models and throw more light on the dreadful MCAS software that unfortunately contributed to the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air disasters that claimed the lives of many.

S0:E2 “Smartphones are beginning to bend and fold” May 03, 2019

Show notes

Haha, this is the first ever recording we made. It is full of rookie mistakes with respect to sound & format. We initially decided not to put this out because of the loud background music and proximity of one of our panelists to the microphone. But looking at the recent Samsung Galaxy Fold debacle and how our discussion went in Episode 5, we realize the content of this recording is extremely relevant and our questions and thoughts are still very valid. This should help you get a background to the second part of our Episode 5 discussion. We hope you enjoy it.

S1:E5 “Does OnePlus have what it takes to capture the market with their latest flagship?” May 01, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, we try a mix and match – OnePlus is getting ready to release the next iterations of phones, the OnePlus 7 and 7Pro on May 14. There's been a lot of buzz surrounding this particular release because of what's under the hood. We discuss our impressions and expectations of these devices once they're made public. We then shift our attention to the Samsung Galaxy Fold and its recent faux pas among the YouTube tech community that has led to the commercial release of the device being delayed. Let's go!

S1:E4 “Become a bookkeeping expert in 40 minutes” Apr 23, 2019
