Tech News Weekly Episode 392 Show Notes This week on Tech News Weekly, Mikah Sargent and Jennifer Pattison Tuohy talk cybersecurity vulnerabilities with over 40,000 exposed internet cameras, Wyze's new security features following past breaches, a study on youth mental health and addictive tech use, and the launch of Trump Mobile's new phone and cellular plan. • 40,000 Exposed Internet Cameras: A cybersecurity investigation by BitSight reveals that over 40,000 internet-connected cameras are accessible to anyone with a browser and IP address, many of which use default passwords or lack basic security features. • Wyze Introduces "Verified View" Security Feature: Following previous incidents where users could see other people's camera streams due to cloud failures, Wyze launched a new security feature that stamps user metadata onto footage for an additional layer of verification to access photos and videos. • Study Challenges Screen Time Assumptions for Youth Mental Health: A major JAMA study tracking over 4,000 kids from ages 10-14 found no direct link between screen time duration and suicidal behavior, but instead identified addictive usage patterns as the real culprit. • The Launch of Trump Mobile: The new "47 Plan" offers 20GB of data for $47.45/month, along with a $499 phone claimed to be "made in America," though tech experts question both the value proposition and manufacturing claims.

Abrar Al-Heeti is joining Mikah Sargent this week! Abrar is excited about one of the new features Apple announced for iOS 26 that could be important for a rumored device next. Would you be willing to be matched with others based on your search history? Some of the new things discovered in the teardown of the Nintendo Switch 2. And Meta is in hot water again over AI chatbots posing as licensed therapists. Abrar talks about the new Adaptive Power feature Apple unveiled at WWDC this past week and how this new feature could be necessary for the rumored iPhone 17 Air that Apple could release sometime next year. Mikah shares about a new experimental platform called Browser Dating that matches users based on their previous internet search history. Liz Chamberlain of iFixit joins the show to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2's teardown, the updated Joy-Con controllers, and how aspects of the console are much harder to repair than their predecessor. And 404 Media's Sam Cole stops by to discuss Meta's AI Studio chatbots, which are posing as real therapists with fake licenses and credentials.
