Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Bill Buckley on BBC Berkshire to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; Elon Musk's company Neuralink has been granted FDA approval in the US to conduct human trials of their brain implant microchip, opening up all manner of possibilities, from helping those with physical disabilities to giving wireless access the internet and more, but where will this technology lead and should we be embracing it without question?
Gadget of the Week is YubiKey from Yubico. This handy little gadget fits to your keyring, looks like a USB thumb-drive, and attaches to your PC to give you strong two-factor authentication across a wide range of protocols for websites and apps, providing much more security in an age when phishing attacks and hacking are on the rise. Available in a variety of sizes and connections, these are an invaluable addition to your online security. Scoring 4.5 out of 5, listen in for more details.
