I was easy on that title. It should read, Alexa can now drain your wallet. Amazon released a ton of new hardware and some cool services for automation.

I have a ton more to give away. I have some Ring.com gear and I have a question for you. Let's talk about this Amazon thing. Also, SmartThings. Don't I say every episode that I'm almost done with ST? Yes, I do! More of that and a Kickstarter that has been delayed. Surface has a new device and I'll go over what it was like to be a Surface MVP as well as my current role as a Windows Insider MVP. Fun Stuff. At the end I have a HUGE surprise for all of you that listen to the crypto portion of the podcast. Cool story and I'll talk about a few coins, investments, and what to do in this down market.

In this episode of RESET I've got a little bit of news for you and I will be discussing everything I learned from Netgear while I was at CES 2018. We will talk SMB, Arlo, Orbi, routers, Circle, BitDefender, and more. That is the podcast but there is a bonus session at the end. I'll wrap with a discussion on my latest mining build and all my thoughts on my hardware and journey to this point.

Here is the RESET CES Interview Episode. I've picked out a few show floor interviews that I think you will enjoy. Ring, Abode, Fibaro, Argus, and more. I've also got a couple of conversations with friends Richard Hay, Josh Pollard, and Richard Gunther. It's not the greatest quality audio due to the noise of the show floor but it was fun to put together for you. Enjoy, and I'll chat with you about these in the RESET Forums at http://resetforums.com
