Technology changes all the time, and while it can be hard to keep your finger on everything, ABC has someone in mind. Every fortnight on ABC Shepparton Breakfast, Pickr’s editor Leigh Stark appears for a few minutes to summarise the world of tech during breakfast.

This week, we’ll talk about how laptops are set to change thanks to a new budget breed of processors, and what Telstra is doing to cut back on scam gambling sites, plus what customers of other telcos can do to stay on alert.

And with AI the story that seemingly never ends, we’ll dive into a cautionary tale of what happens when a big company decides to replace their humans with AI, only to have the AI let other humans manipulate it and use it to break into other accounts.

Hear all about it in a matter of minutes on ABC Shepparton Breakfast with Jo Printz for June 9, 2026, starting from just before the 1 hour 18 minute mark (1.17.46 to be exact).
