Topic: Edge Technology

Daniel Hochstein of Surprise, Arizona, donated toward his executive producership and requested a mention of his business, Media Technologies Consulting. His company provides a proprietary service called "Dynamic Edge," which allows restaurant and bar owners to add promotional content to existing TV screens. The hosts discuss the prevalence of televisions in American dining establishments and grant Hochstein "business karma."

During a discussion about private aviation rules, the podcast experiences technical interruptions. John C. Dvorak explains that "edge technology" used by streaming sites can sometimes send protocols that cause consumer routers to crash. He compares the phenomenon to a "silver bullet" attack where the router becomes overwhelmed by unrecognized data packets from content delivery networks like Akamai.
