 YourTechReport is a weekly radio show which airs on SiriusXM channel 167. YourTechReport is hosted by Marc Aflalo and Mitchell Whitfield with regular appearances from Sandeep Panesar. Each week the show discusses the latest in tech news and issues that affect everyone. We dive into important topics and conversations and feature interviews with some amazing guests in the tech world. Our approach is different. When it comes to tech reviews, hands-on reviews, product unboxing, smartphone tips, the latest tablets - we realize that the majority of folks out there don’t know the difference between megapixels and megahertz…they just want to know what they should buy and why--and that’s why we’re here! YourTechReport is dedicated to bringing tech and consumer electronics to the masses in a way that’s not only informative, but accessible to EVERYONE--so we're bringing our SiriusXM show to everyone on YouTube. We'll not only feature the tech products and tech review and companies that WE think are cool, but that we think YOU'LL want to learn about as well. So whether you're looking for a hands-on review, product unboxing, smartphone tips and tricks, news on the latest drones, tablets and video games, or even one of our great tech giveaways (we love doing giveaways!), YourTechReport has something for everyone.2025 Aflalo Communications Inc. 政治・政府

  • Inside Cisco’s “Cinematic” Meetings: Eye-Level Presence, Less Friction

    Inside Cisco’s “Cinematic” Meetings: Eye-Level Presence, Less Friction
    2025/09/28
    Cisco’s Distance Zero rethinks hybrid collaboration with meeting equity, AI at the edge, and cinematic framing that keeps every participant “at eye height”—plus live 3D object discussion with Apple Vision Pro. SVP/GM Snorre Kjesbu explains how Cisco defines “Distance Zero”: everyone gets a true seat at the table—being seen, heard, and included in the room dynamics, whether they’re remote or on-site. Subtle but powerful touches—like equalizing participant size and eye level—remove hierarchy cues and improve equity. He frames where hybrid work stands now: bring people together for creativity, mentoring, culture, and serendipity (yes, the coffee line matters), and let focused grind work happen anywhere. For offices to “earn the commute,” rooms must outperform home setups—for those in the room and those remote. Technically, this is enabled by a decade of AI/ML at the edge (a long-running partnership with Nvidia), now combined with newer large-language-model capabilities. Cisco’s “cinematic” system behaves like an AI producer—understanding who’s speaking and how a conversation moves—while noise suppression can differentiate lawnmowers, dogs, and even prioritize a specific speaker’s voice. On accessibility, live translation, captions, and annotation lower barriers for varied accents and learning needs. IT and facilities teams also get AI “superpowers” for reliability and scale since collaboration is now mission-critical. Kjesbu notes that these capabilities are largely available on existing deployments (backward compatible where possible, with cloud assist), and adoption is strong: features like cinematic framing are on in 100% of meetings where available, and LLM-powered summaries, actions, and translation are surging.

  • Canadians Embrace Ads: FAST, CTV, and the New Rules of TV

    Canadians Embrace Ads: FAST, CTV, and the New Rules of TV
    2025/09/24
    Roku Canada’s Video on Demand Evolution Study reveals how Canadian streamers embrace ad-supported streaming, FAST channels, and interactive ads—shifting reach to connected TV while boosting addressability to 90%. Head of Revenue for Roku Canada, Ivan Pehar, joins Marc to unpack the sixth annual Video on Demand Evolution Study and what it means for advertisers, broadcasters, and viewers. The big shift: Canadians are increasingly comfortable with ad-supported content, with weekly viewing time for programming with ads jumping from ~7 hours to 10+ hours year over year. Nearly 90% of Canadian streamers are now addressable, opening modern targeting, measurement, and interactivity on the biggest screen in the home. Choice is massive—but so is decision friction. Viewers spend an average of ~12 minutes (and up to 31 minutes; under-35s as high as 46) searching for something to watch. Roku is tackling this with home-screen recommendations and brand-supported discovery moments that save time and feel helpful rather than intrusive. FAST channels mirror the simplicity of broadcast—turn it on and you know what you’ll get—while live sports, news, and themed channels keep “lean-back” viewing alive in a streaming world. For advertisers, the message is clear: linear and connected TV work best together. With precise targeting and interactive formats (think “press OK” overlays that send offers to your phone), campaigns can move beyond awareness into action—without breaking the viewing flow. Privacy remains user-controlled; opting out is always available. Enjoyed this conversation about where TV is heading?

  • iPhone 17 and AirPods Pro 3: Real-World Impressions from Apple’s Keynote

    iPhone 17 and AirPods Pro 3: Real-World Impressions from Apple’s Keynote
    2025/09/20
    Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup, iOS 26, AirPods Pro 3, and Apple Watch updates are here—plus Meta unveiled its next-gen Ray-Ban glasses with a display. Marc and Mitchell dig into design compromises, battery life, transparency mode, wearable health, and whether Meta’s AR push is ready for prime time. In this episode of Your Tech Report, Marc Aflalo and Mitchell Whitfield unpack Apple’s latest keynote. They debate the new iPhone Air—its stunning design, slimmer body, and controversial smaller battery that prompted Apple to release a dedicated MagSafe pack. They compare the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, Pro Max, and Air, spotlighting why the regular 17 may be the best value yet with the A19 chip, strong cameras, and upgraded battery life. On iOS 26, the hosts note subtle design shifts like “liquid glass” and workflow tweaks that feel aimed at new users. Mitchell highlights CarPlay-inspired features like send-confirmation bars, while Marc finds the update faster and cleaner, with accessibility customization essential for low-vision users. AirPods Pro 3 earn rave reviews for memory foam tips that improve fit, vastly improved transparency, and hearing-aid-level clarity. Marc shares an “aha moment” about mixing different-sized ear tips for each ear, while Mitchell calls them the most natural transparency mode yet. Live translation is rolling out, with more languages coming in 2025. Apple Watch Series 11 gets incremental upgrades, while Ultra 3 adds satellite SOS, reinforcing the watch as both fitness and safety device. Marc describes using sleep tracking and heart rate alerts as proactive health tools. Finally, they break down Meta’s announcements: new Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with better cameras, audio, and longer battery life—and a bold first-gen display model with a wristband controller. While the innovation excites them, Marc raises concerns about eye strain and safety from focusing on near-field displays. Like what you heard?
