Podcasts about Texas Instruments

We start the show discussing other podcasts, as you do, and then talked about the calculators you have to have for high school/college. Todd catches us up (9:00) on his German travels, and we do bad accents for 25 minutes. We then discuss my trip to Seattle (36:00) last week and the odd plane events that surrounded it. We get "a bit" sidetracked (48:00) after Todd references a film from 35 years ago, and then chatted about Swig and Crumbl and a bunch of random shit.Sponsors: ScottyJ's album, Texas Instruments, The Hoxton, Fairfield Inn & Suites, SafewayScotty Js YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV3WWSlwDKYf7P5k4XdP3zAIG & Twitter: the_bro_pod, littleBquotesE-mail the show!: thebropodnetwork@gmail.comBuy Merch!!: thebropod.threadless.comOur Website: www.bropodnetwork.com#lisprapper#GoodHang#KyleMooney#Germany#BerlinWall#beveragechat#Hoxton#BatteriesNotIncluded#ElizabethPena#Swig#Crumbl#Mandy#ElTequileno#wedding#podcasts#bropod#bropodnetwork

After a brief-ish primer on barbecue styles in North Carolina and beyond, Jay dives into even more food talk in his Geek of the Week, with another movie-focused restaurant that is actually reachable from GOCA headquarters.  Robbie talks about a remake of a childhood favorite TV show and the placement of cameras in the movie he's most looking forward to.  Movies are the theme in the second half, as they earn the most points in the GOCA Geek Index. Jay discovers that icons of comic book superhero movies may actually have lower Geek Indexes than one might expect.  Christopher Reeve is Superman to most of the GOCA generation, but his score is lower than a dude from the Bad News Bears, rivaled by a child Disney star, and just about doubled by a leading man with way better hair than Jay (maybe it's the hairspray.).. Get out your pen, paper, and Texas Instruments calculator to keep score.  

About David Hirschfeld:David Hirschfeld is a 35-year veteran of the software startup world whose journey began as a physics student at UCLA. He spent his early career at Computer Associates and Texas Instruments, then led software projects at Intel and Motorola. He launched his first successful startup software company, which grew to 800 customers in 22 countries, and sold it in 2000. David founded Tekyz Inc. in 2007 and spent 17 years working with over 70 startups, leading to his breakthrough insight into what makes software companies succeed or fail and inspiring the Launch 1st Method. This systematic approach reduces risks, costs, and time while minimizing investor dependence. When he's not transforming startups, David is a golfer, a woodworker, and a proud father of four successful sons who taught him his most valuable lesson: success follows patterns, but they're not always the ones you expect. In this episode, Dean Newlund and David Hirschfeld explore:Speed and implications of AI innovationWorkflow automation and process redesignModern approaches to product innovation and validationThe future impact of autonomous vehiclesUser empowerment through advanced AI tools Key Takeaways:Automating outdated workflows without reevaluating their relevance can lead to inefficiency—some processes should be reinvented, not just automated.Instead of building products based on assumptions, companies should test the market through pre-sales to validate real demand before development.AI tools like ChatGPT's voice and vision modes can now provide real-time visual navigation, product identification, and contextual support in everyday situations.The rise of autonomous vehicles like Waymo may render parking structures and personal car ownership obsolete within five years, fundamentally shifting urban infrastructure needs. "You have to channel your inner five-year-old when you're thinking about what's possible.” — David Hirschfeld Connect with David Hirschfeld:  Website: https://www.tekyz.com & https://launch1st.tekyz.comEmail: david@tekyz.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhirschfeld/X (Twitter): https://www.x.com/tekyzincFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tekyzinc   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The concept of ownership is rapidly changing in our digital world, raising alarming questions about whether we truly own the technology we purchase. This episode dives deep into Nintendo's controversial Switch 2 terms of service, which grant them the power to render your console "permanently unusable" if you modify it in ways they don't approve. We explore the troubling implications of this shift toward a "rental society" where corporations maintain ultimate control over devices in your home.Amazon's latest venture into humanoid delivery robots highlights another technological frontier with far-reaching implications. After failed experiments with drones and sidewalk rovers, the e-commerce giant is developing human-like robots capable of carrying heavier loads and working longer hours than their human counterparts. We discuss whether this represents progress or a concerning step toward replacing human workers with AI-powered alternatives.The perils of AI misuse come into sharp focus as we examine how two major newspapers published completely fabricated book recommendations generated by artificial intelligence. This publishing blunder underscores the growing challenges of distinguishing between human and machine-created content in our increasingly AI-saturated media landscape.Our Gadgets and Gear segment showcases an innovative AI-powered cooking thermometer that promises to revolutionize your grilling experience, though not everyone on our panel is convinced of its advantages over existing technology. We also explore the fascinating history of educational technology with a look back at Texas Instruments' groundbreaking Speak and Spell from 1978.Between sips of bourbon and American single malt in our monthly whiskey tasting, we contemplate which fictional robot companion would make the ideal household assistant. Would you prefer R2-D2's sass or C-3PO's protocol expertise? Join us for this technology journey that will make you question who truly controls your digital future.Support the show

This week's EYE ON NPI is a super connector - it's the Texas Instruments SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC33xx Family (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/t/texas-instruments/simplelink-wi-fi-cc33xx-family) with 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi 6 support, plus optional Bluetooth LE, in a low cost co-processor you can add to any microcontroller project you have to instantly IoT-ify it. This family of chips is a big upgrade in the CC3 family, and looks like a very competitive solution to existing market chips - we're excited to see how TI has adapted to the existing market to bring this compelling offering. Oh the TI CC3x series, how you've grown! We first met you back when it was the CC3000, a radical WiFi co-processor with the (at-the-time) astonishing price of ~$10 per module. At the time, we crafted an Arduino-compatible shield and a breakout board (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc3000-wifi/overview) as well as an Arduino port of the TCP/IP mini-stack so that folks could do amazing things like get the time (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc3000-wifi/internettime), read a web page (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc3000-wifi/webclient) or even send a Tweet (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc3000-wifi/sendtweet). The big thing was making it so you weren't spending the $50 it cost up-till-then to add a full-linux-system-as-peripheral (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1498). Since then, TI has released some updated versions, such as the CC3100 (https://www.digikey.com/short/9cp431pr), which added 802.11n and lower power draw - we saw it featured in a few micropython projects (https://blog.adafruit.com/2016/08/24/micropython-name-badge-from-emf-2016/) thanks to the core driver support (https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/drivers/cc3100). And after that, the CC3200 series (https://www.digikey.com/short/9289jcq3), which added TLS/SSL support and had an internal ARM Cortex-M4 that could run code on its own, like MicroPython! (https://github.com/micropython/micropython/blob/master/ports/cc3200/README.md) So it's no surprise that TI is continuing to press their WiFi family forward, to now the CC33xx! The new Texas Instruments SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC33xx Family (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/t/texas-instruments/simplelink-wi-fi-cc33xx-family) comes with 4 variants: the CC330x have 2.4GHz WiFi only, where-as the CC335x add 5GHz for an additional cost. Likewise, the CC33x0 have only WiFi, and the CC33x1 have WiFi+BLE. Since all the chips / modules are pin-compatible, you can develop with one and then change in production to whatever final setup suits your product. Like the earlier chips, these chips are expected to be connected to a main processor: either a microcontroller or microcomputer, over SPI or SDIO. SPI will work great for your smaller micros, SDIO is great when you have the speed and bandwidth to shift a lot more data around. When connecting over BLE, use the UART-with-flow control - that's the standard for a "BTLE Host Controller Interface" communications (https://www.bluetooth.com/wp-content/uploads/Files/Specification/HTML/Core-60/out/en/host-controller-interface/uart-transport-layer.html). Of course, there's no way you'll want to write a driver for this kind of complex chip - so visit the CC33xx software download page (https://www.ti.com/tool/CC33XX-SOFTWARE) which has software in the form of Linux kernel patch/drivers for beefy chips, or an microcontroller with an RTOS - follow their porting guide to get it running on a non-TI chipset (https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AEIJm0rwIeU.2P1OBWwlaA__CC33XX-RTOS-MCU__dzPVh4K__LATEST) Now you're probably saying "OK cool but I don't want to do a bunch of RF layout, I want a nice tinned module i can slap down and connect my RP-SMA or chip antenna" - and not surprisingly, it looks like there's a CC3301 module (https://www.ti.com/product/CC3301MOD) in pre-production with an optimistic budgetary price of $2.88 - that's for 2.4GHz + BLE. For the 5GHz CC3351MOD (https://www.ti.com/product/CC3351MOD) the price is $3.50. Sans BLE the CC3350MOD (https://www.ti.com/product/CC3350MOD) is $3.13. If you want a peek at what the CC3301 module might look like, the BoosterPack product page has a tantalizing glimpse (https://www.ti.com/tool/BP-CC3301MOD). You can sign up at TI's site for updates on the release schedule, or chat with your DigiKey sales rep and they'll let you know when the part makes it into general distribution. Until then, you can get plenty of TI CC3350 (https://www.digikey.com/short/3z7tqtrp) and CC3351 (https://www.digikey.com/short/hmqzwv5j) bare chips: they're both in stock at DigiKey for immediate shipment! Order today and you'll quickly add low-cost WiFi 6 + BLE support to your next design, with 2.4/5 GHz support so you're ready for any customer or configuration. With ready-to-go software, and great low prices, you can get your design set up with cutting-edge networking without breaking the BOM bank.
