Content this week from: @jonfingas, @harrymccracken, @TurnerNovak, @fredwilson, @kwharrison13, @ballmatthew, @ttunguz, @timoreilly, @davidcummings, @NeilThanedar Netflix will shut down its DVD rental business in September The End of Computer Magazines in America Shuttering of BuzzFeed News Signals Shift to Survival Mode Can Substack Save the Social Network? What Is A Protocol And Why Does It Matter? Building an Actual Unicorn 2023 Private SaaS Company Valuations Is Twitter finally dying? Why Every Startup Needs an AI Strategy Sam Altman: Size of LLMs won't matter as much moving forward You Can't Regulate What You Don't Understand China's new GDP figures may restore faith in its economy Elon Musk wants to develop TruthGPT, ‘a maximum truth-seeking AI' Google Looks to Turbocharge AI Efforts With Combined Brain, DeepMind Unit VCs Challenged by the Downturn Tiger Global Management's $12.7 Billion Venture Fund Records 20% Loss Apple launches Apple Card's savings accounts with 4.15% interest rate SeetGeek @NeilThanedar This week's headline is “Gone.” Specifically, Nexflix's DVD service, Maximum PC and MacLife Magazines, and BuzzFeed News. The latter was “shuttered” today. We could extend the meaning to include unicorns, later-stage venture funding, and Elon Musk's first Starship. In the case of the first three, it is surprising that they survived this long. But I think these closures are a moment to acknowledge and mark. They have already been replaced long ago, and their passing is a testament to the work Netflix has done with streaming, the emergence of the newsletter and blog, and the frustrations we all have with headline writers seeking clickbait. The downbeat tone continues with a Vox piece asking (with an implied answer) Is Twitter finally dying? Vox is no longer a news publication when it comes to Twitter, it has become a rag with a campaign seeking to fight against the company's very existence. It is the Fox News of Twitter coverage. A more thoughtful piece from Kyle Harrison is still, however, downbeat. It asks why almost all unicorns have never made a profit but overlook that many have enormous free cash flow that they decided to spend on growth as a conscious strategy. Spending profits (thus removing them as profits) is what startups should be doing. Amazon has done so for decades successfully. Turner Novak writes about Substack, one of the emergent platforms, and asks the question, “Can Substack Save the Social Network?” He tracks the history of Substack, increasing the tools that enable its writers, creators, and consumers to discover and recommend each other and the impact on subscriber growth. Meanwhile, Tomasz Tunguz of Theory VC states that all startups must have an AI strategy. Fred Wilson says protocols are important but are not well understood. These articles and others focus on what is new and what comes next. As Leonard Cohen famously wrote, “that's how the light gets in.” In Silicon Valley, over $11.5 billion was invested in AI startups in the past three months. Web 3 funding has slowed to a crawl but has not disappeared. And biotech funding remains vibrant, along with new energy startups. We are entering a phase where a new cohort of companies, funded since the middle of 2022, is attracting capital because of the scale of their ambition and the opportunity it represents. The number of funding rounds at the seed and early stage is declining, but the quality of the investments and the amounts raised are both strong. 2023 will be a big year for the next generation of successful startups, and I can't wait to see what they bring to the table. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thatwastheweek/message

Tech news is getting a little too surreal for us lately, so we're taking a brief trip back to a simpler time. This week we go through the very first issue of Boot (later Maximum PC) from 1996, which has everything from Jean-Louis Gassée on the launch of the BeBox to Bill Gates on the x86 PC's murder of SGI, the very first cable modem service, a motorized (?) Panasonic laptop, some shocking secrets about the first Dream Machine and the letters section, the Will Smith byline that almost was, and a bunch more.Read along at home with Boot issue #1: https://archive.org/details/boot-magazine-vol01-issue01-sept-1996Support the Pod!

Many hardware enthusiasts question their system builds wondering if they have the best cooling or if they can get a little more performance from their processor of graphics card. These questions often lead to armchair wars about the best hardware and if the overall cost is worth the effort. In this episode we explore the world of high-end computers from popular boutique builders and then trash on the latest extreme gaming build from PCGamer and Maximum PC
Three episodes in, we figured it was about time that we talk over our own origins with open source software, and then ponder the present and (attempt to) predict the future of FOSS for everyday people. Listen on for some reminiscing about Sparcstations, Will's time in a penguin suit, and our earliest tries at using Linux on the desktop, an examination of some previously corporate tech that's now being democratized in open-source form, and more.Here's Will's old Maximum PC chronicle of using 2005-era Linux (in a penguin suit): https://books.google.com/books?id=rwIAAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PA52#v=onepage&q&f=falseThe FOSS Pod is brought to you by Google Open Source.

Will Smith, this is your life! Or at least one month of it, specifically November 2009, when you published an issue of Maximum PC that included a review of Windows 7, speculation about ray tracing in video games, a breathless report about absolutely enormous 160GB SSDs, and other historical curiosities. With Windows 11 looming, we thought it would be fun to reach back into the vault and check out some coverage of a previous Windows launch and all the other fun and/or embarrassing stuff that came along with that particular issue.Here's a PDF version of Maximum PC November 2009, the issue we covered in this episode: https://web.archive.org/web/20160618072632/http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC1109-web.pdfSupport the Pod!

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the archaic "computer magazine" that you may have heard old people talking about. From PC Gamer to Maximum PC to Computer Shopper, the pre-Internet was a wild time. In the news, Western Digital "My Book" users had all their data deleted in a convoluted story, Western Digital tried to trick people into buying inferior drives, Google's internal dysfunction led briefly to Google News failing for all Google Workspaces users, and Sir Clive Sinclair has passed away at 81. Also Rym was nearly attacked by a crazy driver biking from Poughkeepsie to Queens on Sunday.
Will used to work for a tech magazine. Brad always wanted to. We both read more than our fair share back in the day. So let's talk about magazines! In this ep we look back on those mammoth issues of Computer Shopper, our love of the PC Gamer demo CD, embargoes and print deadlines, Will's years in the magazine mines, what the (bumpy) transition from print to online was like, and lots more.Support the Pod!
