Another banner episode of the NosillaCast — packed with tech interviews, deep dives into tech products, and a discussion with my old buddy Joseph Nilo about OpenClaw. He’s not old; our friendship is old. You know what I mean!

The lovely @josephnilo.bsky.social of HiLo Media joins me to talk about how he’s using the agentic AI OpenClaw to speed up his work. We talk about the dangers inherent in using tools like OpenClaw and why he’s decided to do it anyway.

In my review of the ViewSonic VP2788-5K, I noted you can't control brightness from the keyboard. I learned this is true of most 3rd-party displays. The app BetterDisplay gives that control, & I now fully endorse the ViewSonic 5K display.

We had a water leak in our house recently, and here's our three-pronged approach for the future: a Flume water flow detector, a water softener, and Yolink water leak sensors:

We’ve got your “rah rah go to Macstock”, we’ve got hearing aids and a less expensive display from ViewSonic, we have a little @jasonhowell.bsky.social , and we round it all out with Security Bits with @bartb.ie. Fun for the whole family.

Close-up product image of a pair of beige Cearvol wireless ear buds hovering above an open charging case. The case has a glossy screen on the front displaying the time “12:00,” the date “Thursday, June 20,” and battery levels at 100% for the case and both left and right earbuds. The earbuds are labeled “Cearvol,” and the case lid is open, revealing molded slots inside.
@podfeet.bsky.social interviews Brian Feeser from Cearvol about their affordable over-the-counter hearing aids and their glasses with embedded hearing aids. #a11y #CES2026 www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/04...

In this very fun installment of PBS, @bartb.ie teaches us how to use CSS “variables”, which aren't actually variables (they're custom properties). Theyallow you to take advantage of Bootstrap to style web pages, but make the look and feel all your own.

The Apple Studio Display is a great monitor, but the @viewsonic.bsky.social 5K display comes in at more than a $1000 less, and it’s really close in hands-on comparison.

This totally impromptu conversation with Jason was so much fun and shows off an inventive way that he does his video shorts!
You may hear a change in the audio this week, thanks to Auphonic. We’ve got 2 more great interviews from CES, a wicked cool iPhone case, and learn how my buddy Ron actually had the battery replaced in his 10-year-old Tesla!

Eufy has taken first place in our house for security cameras, so it was super fun to learn about their new offerings.
Orion crew is on their incredible journey to the Moon - enjoy
@spsheridan.bsky.social
interviewing NASA engineer Jared Daum in 2018. Launch timeline was optimistic, but learning how Orion's parachute tech will guide the crew safely to splashdown is fascinating. www.podfeet.com/blog/2018/01...

@podfeet.bsky.social interviews Dr. Charles Wang from Abbott about their Freestyle Libre continuous glucose monitor system composed of a small wearable device and a companion mobile app that, together, continuously measure & record your blood glucose levels. #CES2026 www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/03...
What if, instead of buying a new electric vehicle, you could replace the battery in your 10-year-old Tesla Model S? Our buddy Ron Burch did exactly that.

Happy moon launch day, everyone! Watch as the first woman, the first person of color, and the first Canadian go to the moon, traveling farther into space than any humans have before. (I think a white American boy is going too.)

Who else would bring you an explanation of how phone case maker TORRAS conducts their drop testing according to MIL‑STD‑810G 516.6 Section 4.6.5 Procedure IV? Check out the gorgeous and protective O3 Air.

#iPhoneCase
Looking for a smart watch for your child that gives you a lot of control, and isn't tied to an iPhone or Android phone? This might be a good solution for you.
Some days are really tough, and this definitely is one of them. My dear friend John Martellaro passed away today. John is one of the smartest people I've ever met and had the kind of resumé most of us can only dream of. He was an astrophysicist. He worked for NASA.

The best part about this video is when I ask to test the vacuum and then two workers come over and ask to borrow it from me because they want to see how it works. Jeannie loved it!
Early so I can publish the NosillaCast tomorrow - Security Bits by @bartb.ie
www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/03...
Includes discussion of FCC's move to stop new routers that aren’t made in the US. Not quite as much of a hair-on-fire situation as some might have led you to believe.

@scottwillsey.com sent in a fabulous review of the dictation app Wispr Flow. I'm wild about it too, so I added my two cents at the end of his post (hope you don't mind, Scott!)

This magician was AMAZING. Blew us away. Even watching the video, we can't see how he does what he does.
