On this episode of Digital Trends Live, hosts Greg Nibler and Riley Winn tackle the top trending stories in tech, including Alexa’s ability to manage your medications, a Twitter/Facebook data breach, Ford versus Tesla versus Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Boston Dynamics’ police dog robots, and more.

We then head down to the L.A. Auto Show to talk about what’s new in the automotive world, including the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Tesla Cybertruck, and other new vehicles.

Leonard Kim, author of Ditch the Act, talks about how “fake it until you make it” doesn’t always work, and how to better engage your audience by being authentic and humble.

There’s no place like a smart home for the holidays, and John Velasco joins us from our New York studios to talk about the newest in smart home tech from companies like Amazon, Ikea, and Adaprox.

The holidays are a time for giving, but where is your donation money going? We speak with Jonathan Beck, founder and chief executive officer of Givelist, which helps you break down the financials and success rates of various nonprofits so you have peace of mind when giving.

 

Dorian Johannink, co-founder and business director for Sylo, talks about how to take back your social media privacy and control your data through its decentralized communications platform.

 

Finally, we are joined by DT writer Maya Shwayder, who discusses how worker safety is taking a back seat to delivery speed, and a new report that found that Amazon employee injuries were two times the industry average.

iPhone and MagSafe

We shouldn’t fall into the easy trap of passing the new MagSafe for iPhone technology off as merely a branding exercise dripping in nostalgia to titillate long-term Mac fans. There are two reasons why. First, it may become one of the most interesting and innovative “Made for iPhone” official accessory ranges we’ve seen since the beginning of the program itself.

Second, we should also remember it’s the latest weapon in Apple’s ecosystem arsenal, designed specifically to keep you buying the iPhone for years to come, possibly including one of the most controversial rumored iPhones on the horizon.
What is MagSafe for iPhone?
What does MagSafe do? It’s a new way for chargers and accessories to attach and talk to your iPhone. The simplest accessory is Apple's own MagSafe Wireless Charger, a $39 charging plate that looks a bit like a thinner, oversized Apple Watch charging plinth. It uses magnets to clamp itself tightly against the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, securely keeping it in place for accurate charger positioning.
