Show Notes

New York is the first state to create a law requiring retailers to disclose when prices are set using AI and customers’ personal data, commonly referred to as surveillance pricing. The disclosure must state “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data”. In an interview, chief administrative officer and general counsel of the National Retail Federation Stephanie Martz said “I wish I understood what harm exactly lawmakers think they are solving”. The National Retail Federation challenged the law over first amendment grounds, but Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff allowed the law to move forward. Similar bills are pending in at least ten other states.

Reuters reports India’s telecom ministry privately asked smartphone manufacturers to preload all new devices with a state-owned security app that cannot be deleted. The November 28th government order, as seen by Reuters, gives manufacturers 90 days to ensure the Sanchar Saathi app is pre-installed and devices already in the supply chain should have the app pushed along with software updates. The govt says the app aids in preventing cyber threats, helps police trace devices, and assists in tracking and blocking stolen phones.

India’s Department of Telecommunications issued directions for app-based communication service providers to disable access for users without a SIM. The directive was sent to WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Arattai, Snapchat, ShareChat, JioChat, and Josh, requiring the platforms to link SIM cards to the services within 90 days. Platforms accessible through websites must ensure users are logged out periodically and given the option relink accounts through a QR-code-based method. The Cellular Operators Association of India supports SIM-binding to help reduce spam and fraudulent communication.

Last week Switzerland’s Conference of Data Protection Officers called on Swiss public bodies to avoid software as a service and hyperscale clouds over security concerns, especially those covered by the US CLOUD Act. The resolution states most SaaS solutions do not currently offer true end-to-end encryption and can unilaterally change their terms and conditions, which may further degrade security. Microsoft 365 was specifically named as an inappropriate service.

Mozilla is testing an “Add Note” feature in Firefox Nightly, the experimental version of the browser. Notes can be added to any tab, which will then add a clickable notepad icon next to the tab title in order to access it again. The feature is built-in to the Nightly version and does not require downloading any extensions. In this current phase of the test, notes will disappear when the browser is restarted.

Netflix removed the ability for phones to cast to TVs, unless it’s through specific older generation casting devices. The updated Netflix help page states casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices is no longer supported and users should use Netflix with the remote that came with their smart tv or streaming device for access. Netflix subscribers on an ad-supported plan are blocked from streaming from phones even if they have an older streaming-compatible devices, like the Chromecast models without remotes or TVs with Google Cast.

On an earnings call, Dell COO Jeffrey Clarke said 500 million PCs capable of running Windows 11 have not upgraded from Windows 10, and another 500 million computers are four-years-old, or older, and unable to upgrade due to hardware limitations. The COO calls this an opportunity to sell “AI-ready” machines and encourage upgrades, but also expects the PC market to be relatively flat in 2026.

Apple may use Intel for low-end M-series chips

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote that Apple could tap Intel as a second-source foundry for its lowest-end M-series processor, powering the MacBook Air, iPad Air, and iPad Pro, as soon as Q2 2027. Apple reportedly has NDA access to Intel’s 18AP process, with updated PDKs expected in early 2026. The move reflects Apple’s push for U.S. manufacturing and supply-chain diversification, though TSMC remains the main partner.

Tiny Vinyl offers miniature records for casual listeners

Ars Technica tested Tiny Vinyl, a 4-inch record format compatible with manual turntables, holding up to four minutes per side. Sound is quieter and slightly distorted compared with 12-inch LPs, and automatic or suitcase-style turntables won’t play them. The format is compact, lightweight, and visually appealing, making it fun for casual listeners but less suited for audiophiles.

EU Weighs Whether Apple Maps & Ads Are DMA Gatekeepers
The European Union is assessing whether Apple’s Maps and Ads services should be designated as “gatekeepers” under the Digital Markets Act, a status Apple already holds for Safari, iOS, iPadOS, and the App Store.

Memory-Chip Shortages and Rising Costs

Major tech companies, including Dell and HP, are bracing for memory-chip supply shortages and significant price increases in the coming year, driven by the huge demand for chips used in AI infrastructure. Counterpoint Research forecasts a 50% jump in memory module prices through the second quarter of next year, which will raise manufacturing costs for electronics. Both Dell and HP are planning to increase product prices, with HP also considering reducing the amount of memory in some products and securing more suppliers to manage the rising costs, as memory makes up an estimated 15% to 18% of a typical PC’s cost.

Plex Begins Enforcing Subscription Requirement for Remote Access

Plex is rolling out its new policy requiring a subscription for remote access to a personal media server, a change announced in March and effective April 29th. Previously, remote access to a server owner’s library was free, but now the server owner must have a Plex Pass (starting at $7/month) to grant remote access, or the remote user can purchase the more limited Remote Watch Pass (starting at $2/month). These changes are currently being phased in, starting this week with users accessing Plex remotely via the Plex Roku OS app.

ChatGPT and Copilot Leaving WhatsApp

ChatGPT and Copilot are leaving WhatsApp by January 15, 2026, because Meta updated its WhatsApp Business Solution terms of service to prohibit using the app for distributing third-party AI chatbots where the AI is the primary product. This change, announced in October 2025, is seen as a way to prevent Meta’s AI competitors from using its platform and is expected to cause other AI chatbots, like Perplexity, to follow suit, leaving Meta AI as the only remaining option in the app. Businesses can still use the platform for customer service or support chatbots.

Chinese Tech Giants Move AI Training Overseas

To circumvent U.S. export restrictions on high-end Nvidia chips essential for AI development, major Chinese tech companies like Alibaba and ByteDance are increasingly training their advanced large language models in offshore data centers, primarily in Southeast Asia. This overseas shift, often involving leasing arrangements with non-Chinese operators, has become more pronounced since the U.S. restricted sales of the H20 chip in April. However, some firms, such as DeepSeek, are relying on existing domestic Nvidia chip stockpiles and collaborating with Huawei on domestic AI chip development.

MIT: AI Could Replace 11.7% of U.S. Workforce

A study from MIT, using a labor simulation tool called the Iceberg Index, estimates that AI could already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, representing $1.2 trillion in wages, predominantly in finance, healthcare, and professional services. The Iceberg Index, a “digital twin” of the labor market, maps workers by skills and location, showing that most AI-related wage exposure is in routine tasks across areas like HR, logistics, and office administration, not just in visible tech layoffs. States like Tennessee and Utah are already adopting this tool to inform their AI workforce action plans and guide reskilling investments.
