In this packed episode 121 of All Things TechIE Podcast, we dive into some of the most pressing and fascinating tech stories of the moment:
* Cork's Gaming Sensation: Discover how Void Interactive, an innovative video game development company based in Cork City, has achieved a global hit with their latest release, Ready or Not. This intense tactical first-person shooter has sold over10 million copies worldwide and was the number one pre-ordered game globally before its official launch.
* Temu's European Legal Woes: We investigate the rapidly growing Chinese online retailer, Temu, which is facing significant legal challenges from the European Union. Learn about the preliminary findings of an European Commission investigation, accusing Temu of breaching the Digital Services Act (DSA) by failing to adequately assess the risk of illegal products, such as unsafe baby toys and small electronics, being disseminated on its platform. We explore Temu's unique direct-to-consumer model and what these potential fines (up to 6% of its total worldwide annual turnover) could mean for its future in Ireland and Europe.
* Ireland's Power Grid Under Pressure: Uncover the critical power supply issues impacting Ireland, highlighted by Amazon abandoning plans for a €300 million industrial facility in Dublin. We delve into why data centres now consume 21% of Ireland's total electricity demand—more than all urban homes combined—and the profound impact this colossal demand is having on the energy system, including restricting data centre development in the Dublin area.
* Online Safety for Children: Get the latest on new age verification laws rolling out in Ireland, obliging social media giants like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X to protect users from harmful content. Companies could face fines of up to €20 million or 10% of their annual turnover for breaches. We also take a close look at Australia's controversial ban on social media accounts for children under 16, including YouTube, and the ongoing debate about who holds the primary responsibility for keeping children safe online: governments or parents.
* RTÉ's Weather Forecast Overhaul: Witness the major visual upgrade to RTÉ's weather forecasting, marking its first significant overhaul in over eight years. This brings a brand new 3D map of Ireland with enhanced topography, individual town highlighting, and dynamic animations for clearer, more accurate weather storytelling.
