A Tech Affair episode 177: Stolen tax data, Epic vs. Google, "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters", "Super Mario RPG"

How did Swiss tax data end up on the darknet? What are the consequences of the legal dispute between Epic and Google? How monstrous is "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters"? Has "Super Mario RPG" aged well? All this and more in episode 177.
A Basel-based company that manages Swiss tax data has been hacked. Some of the data has appeared on the darknet. We explain how this could have happened and what the consequences are. The legal dispute between Google and Epic could have far-reaching consequences. The trigger for the dispute is "Fortnite". There is more unity among fans after the first tangible information about the upcoming "Fallout" TV series. This is coming soon.
We tested Sony's Playstation Portal and are divided in our opinion. The streaming handheld delivers what it promises, but nothing more.
In the big screen segment, we're talking about "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters". The Apple TV Plus series lives up to its name and is not short on big monsters that smash everything to bits.
There is also a lot of fighting in "Super Mario RPG". The remake of the Super Nintendo classic also delights with its humour.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
