Wannabe tech show, shills on the panel, don’t even try their IRC chat

“Firstly, the show has some entertaining moments, without a doubt. But its rarely sticking to the subject title and more or less wobbles about the personal tech preferences, movie preferences, science fiction book tips and product placement and very shallow analysis of big tech announcements and regulations, as well as some sighing comments on trivial tech and media philosophy and politics, by its panel members and host. So, it’s an entertaining show about their first world problems. That in and on itself would not have driven me to my one star review...
But critical input in their IRC chat is not welcome, whether on show topics, discussions with other participants, etc. During an IRC session, you can find yourself banned to their „trollodex”, just because some caricature of a BOFH (Hi, ScooterX!) - who doesn’t know you at all - answers „… and because of the worldview of yours...” on a technical opinion of yours. As I replied: “You don’t know me, so don’t give a d… about you guessing about my world view!” I was then banned to the trollodex, even after trying to make my point in their „unfiltered” IRC channel to him.
It’s most probably more of a distinction to land there… :)
Why? A short web search on the caricature BOFH admin shows has been dedicated entire websites as personal halls of shame (Mr. Laporte, Google is your Friend). He obviously isn’t very interested in the show’s success…
Et ainsi, je claque la porte! :)”

“I used to be a fan of MacBreak weekly, but thought it went down hill when Leo and Andy seem to become so Anti Apple. Thank goodness for Rene who was more objective and logical about Apple Tech. However recently - Jan 2018, I am happy that Leo is now more open minded. For 2018 shows so far, it is...”Read full review »

“Had to stop listening this week, Rene’s constant excuse making for Apple, and then banging on the other big names was too much.”
