828: Fender Play - Learn To Play The Guitar Online
Fender Play is the complete learning app for guitar, bass and ukulele. The app features step-by-step lessons, progress tracking and exclusive online community of like-minded players and instructors.
Fender has released new updates to its online learning platform, Fender Play, to deliver features faster to its users. The platform is built on a serverless backend using AWS' Lambda and DynamoDB services.
The use of GraphQL is another update which will allow the Fender Play team to build a flexible Application Programming Interface (API) to help future proof the platform's applications. GraphQL provides the user with a more streamlined experience that is tailored to the individual's learning path, while also making the app itself faster and more responsive.
When Ethan Kaplan was 16 he started a fan website for the band R.E.M. The rest of his career extends from there. He is now Chief Digital Officer and General Manager, Digital at Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. I invited Ethan onto my daily tech podcast to learn more about Fender Play's new platform updates to deliver faster user experience.

2182-founders-of-acast-launch-solution
Måns Ulvestam and his co-founders, Karl Rosander and Markus Ahlstrand, sold their shares in Acast to launch a new book, audio, and news platform, Sesamy. The platform allows users to buy only what they need, when they need it, and access it on any device or app through single purchases. In addition, no subscription is needed to access (and own) digital content. They've already rolled out in Sweden and Denmark, and have significant expansion plans in place.
By using their own unique SmartID software, Sesamy can ensure a single-purchase option does not cannibalize existing subscription income. Instead, it creates an additional, incremental revenue stream to support publishers and provide consumers with flexible options in a time of considerable financial uncertainty. Sesamy have exciting upcoming plans for this software in the news/magazine sectors in particular.
With inflation through the roof, and troubles ahead, the worst is arguably yet to come for those wedded to subscription models. It plausibly figures that the publishing sector, already facing a downturn in ad revenues, will also see the same trend as consumers cut back and grow ever tired of 'peak subscription'. Given these developments, subscription-dependent sectors are crying out for an alternative and are now increasingly finding they've optimized their own subscriber numbers. Growth is tailing off, and at risk of declining rapidly with these self-evident economic pressures.

A team of scientists, engineers and technicians at Honeywell have built what is currently the highest performing quantum computer available.
With a quantum volume of 64, the Honeywell quantum computer is twice as powerful as the next alternative in the industry. That means they are closer to industries leveraging our solutions to solve computational problems that are impractical to solve with traditional computers.
“What makes our quantum computers so powerful is having the highest quality qubits, with the lowest error rates. This is a combination of using identical, fully connected qubits and precision control,” said Tony Uttley, president of Honeywell Quantum Solutions.
Brian Neyenhuis, commercial operations leader at Honeywell Quantum Solutions joins me on Tech Talks Daily. He shares Honeywell’s progress in quantum computing in 2020, where he sees it going in 2021, and the types of applications quantum computing can be used for.

2018 has seen major corporations fall victim to hacks and the harvesting of customer information. Millions of customers of some of the most trusted names in business: Cathay Pacific, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, have had everything from their email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card details fall into the hands of nefarious actors.
However, as cybercriminals become more sophisticated -- novel solutions are being developed which may prove effective in combating the hacks and online attacks experienced by companies of every ilk and size.
Loki is a privacy network which will allow users to transact and communicate privately and anonymously over the internet. Users will be able to build applications on the Loki platform, including messaging services, online marketplaces, and social media platforms.
These services will incorporate privacy and data security by default, features which are often at risk on traditional online platforms. Loki maintains the belief that privacy is a human right and aims to empower all individuals to control their digital information by creating privacy tools which can be used by anyone.
I invited Kee Jeffreys, Co-Founder, and Tech Lead at LOKI onto my daily tech podcast to discuss the following:
