Podcast Ep11: Apple Silicon in 2021 / Air Pods Max / nVidia lose the plot
In our last episode for 2020, we review some of the tech launches of the year, and we look forward to what we might expect from Apple Silicon in 2021. If the M1 was game changing... then the rumoured developments could be game ending! And of course, the Air Pods Max get a healthy dose of Pete and Dayv critique!
Is the Joby Wavo Air wireless microphone set a good choice for content creators? How does it compare to the Rode Wireless Go II, or the DJI Mic? And perhaps most importantly, what did Erin put in my coffee?

The Asustor Lockerstor 4 AS6604T is a 4-bay NAS with space for 2 NVMe SSD drives, and it has two 2.5G ethernet ports which can be aggregated. In this video, we unbox and set up the NAS with four Seagate Ironwolf 8TB hard disks in a RAID 5 configuration. We also set up an SSD Cache with two Samsung 980 1TB SSDs, and demonstrate how to set up network link aggregation with the help of a Netgear ProSafe MS510TX switch.
