Chipageddon
The Future is not Set
11/04/21 • 41 min
You may not know it, but we are currently experiencing the first chipageddon ever! Basic microchips are in short supply, but fundamental enough that car manufacturers are have to stop factories and layoff workers.
With the advent of computers, it allowed us to deploy Just In Time manufacturing. Parts are dispatched just before they are needed, and system that is so perfect it falls to pieces when a global lockdown forces workers to reduce capacity.
This isn’t limited to just chips. Supply issues can be seen every where, bikes, cars, computers, toilet rolls, books for christmas and even cardboard!
This podcast will help you get ready for the Mad Max induced Bartertown that will be in all our futures! I get to be Aunty Entity.
Max Zorin : Gentlemen, for centuries alchemists tried to make gold from base metals. Today, we make microchips from sillicon, which is common sand; but far better than gold. We are now in the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production, but distribution of these microchips.

Sneakers - A Retrospective
The Future is not Set
07/15/21 • 37 min
This episode Dave and Jon discuss the classic 90s movie, Sneakers. A moderately successful film on release in 1992, it turns out to be one of the most prescient and visionary movies ever made to predicted the world in which we find ourselves living today. Ransonware attacks on public utilities. Questionable motivations of the United States Government Employees against its own citizens and computer dating, its all there!
Dave Note: To the content holders of the movie sequel rights, let’s talk, I have loads of ideas!
There’s a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it’s not about who’s got the most bullets. It’s about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it’s all about the information!
