Cats in
Tech

The internet is physical, somebody owns the building, and six cats at a news desk are going to explain the whole thing.

Every episode is evergreen with a marked slot for that week's real outage, launch, or breach — the script plays any week of any year, the news makes it today's.

Two of the six hosts are blind. The information is complete without the visuals. That's intentional.

Meet the hosts

Season 1 · 10 Episodes — fundamentals with teeth

01
DaviCat + Rammycoming soon

The Cloud Is Somebody Else's Computer

DaviCat explains where your files actually live, and why 'the cloud' has a street address and a landlord.

Breaking slotThis week's cloud outage, region failure, or price hike from any major provider — the joke lands on 'somebody else's computer had a bad day.'
02
NetCat + Rammycoming soon

It's Always DNS

NetCat explains the phone book of the internet, and why when half the web vanishes, engineers all whisper the same three letters.

Breaking slotAny recent outage that was — or was suspected to be — DNS, BGP, or a config push. If nothing's recent, any 'major site unreachable' story works; the punchline is the diagnosis.
03
Rammy + ByteCatcoming soon

Password123

Rammy would like a word with everyone whose password is their cat's name plus the year. The cats know. The cats are insulted.

Breaking slotThis week's credential dump, stuffing attack, or 'most common passwords' report — the joke shape is reading real terrible passwords aloud, deadpan.
04
Tommy + NetCatcoming soon

The Printer Smells Fear

Tommy explains the only device in your home that is actively hostile, and why a 40-year-old page language runs your office.

Breaking slotAny peripheral/driver fiasco, ink-subscription controversy, or firmware update that bricked hardware — the joke is that the printer found a NEW way to say no.
05
Tommy + Rammycoming soon

Remind Me Tomorrow, Forever

Tommy on software updates: the pop-up you've dismissed 47 times is the only thing standing between you and a very bad week.

Breaking slotThis week's patched vulnerability, emergency update, or — chef's kiss — an update that itself broke things. Either direction feeds the joke.
06
DaviCat + Tommycoming soon

No Backup, No Sympathy

DaviCat explains the 3-2-1 rule to everyone whose entire life is on one laptop with a sticker that says LIVE LAUGH LOVE.

Breaking slotAny data-loss story — a company that lost customer data, a dead cloud service taking libraries with it, a ransomware recovery. The joke lands on 'they had one copy.'
07
NetCat + Tommycoming soon

Wifi Is Not the Internet

NetCat walks the full path from your router to the ocean floor, and settles the oldest fight in tech support.

Breaking slotAn ISP outage, a cut cable (undersea or backhoe), or a router vulnerability — the joke shape is 'and everyone blamed their wifi.'
08
Rammy + PixelCatcoming soon

A Prince Needs Your Help

Rammy and PixelCat break down spam and phishing: the con is ancient, the buttons are just shinier now.

Breaking slotThis week's phishing campaign, smishing wave, or high-profile someone-clicked-the-link incident — read the actual bait copy aloud like a film review.
09
Tommy + ByteCatcoming soon

Have You Tried Turning It Off and On Again

Tommy defends tech support's most mocked question — because it is, embarrassingly, real engineering.

Breaking slotAny incident resolved by restarts/rollbacks, or a memory-leak bug in the news (planes, cars, consoles that must be rebooted every N days) — the joke is 'told you.'
10
ByteCat + PixelCat + Rammycoming soon

Confidently Wrong

ByteCat on AI hype vs. AI reality: it's genuinely amazing, it's genuinely not magic, and it will absolutely make things up in a professional tone of voice.

Breaking slotThis week's AI launch, demo faceplant, or over-the-top claim — hold the quote up next to what the thing actually shipped.

Season 2 · 10 Episodes — spicier, deeper

01
DaviCat + Rammy + Lobster Catcoming soon

Everything Is Down (A Postmortem)

DaviCat hosts a live blameless postmortem for the entire internet, which is on fire somewhere at all times.

Breaking slotThe most recent major outage, any provider — run it through the desk's postmortem template and watch it fit perfectly. It always fits.
02
PixelCat + Rammycoming soon

The App Got Worse on Purpose

PixelCat names the thing everyone feels: your favorite app was great, then fine, then hostile — and that was the business plan.

Breaking slotThis week's app redesign backlash, new ad surface, or feature moved behind a paywall — before/after the actual screens.
03
DaviCat + Tommycoming soon

Easy to Join, Impossible to Leave

DaviCat on vendor lock-in: the free trial has a basement, and your data lives in it now.

Breaking slotAny current lock-in story: egress fee changes, a service killing data export, ecosystem antitrust news, a bricked-when-servers-die product.
04
Rammy + NetCat + Lobster Catcoming soon

We Take Your Privacy Very Seriously

Rammy performs a dramatic reading of the breach-notification email every company sends, and NetCat explains what actually happened.

Breaking slotThis week's breach — read the company's actual statement against the desk's boilerplate bingo card.
05
ByteCat + Tommycoming soon

Free as in Somebody's Weekend

ByteCat on open source: the whole internet is load-bearing volunteer code, and the volunteer would like a nap.

Breaking slotA maintainer stepping down, a critical library vulnerability, a license-change controversy, or a corporate fork fight — any week has one.
06
ByteCat + PixelCatcoming soon

The Algorithm Is Math With Opinions

ByteCat and PixelCat open up 'the algorithm' and find no wizard — just a scoreboard that pays out for your attention.

Breaking slotAny algorithm news: a leaked ranking doc, a feed change, a moral panic, a chronological-timeline lawsuit or feature. Map it to the scoreboard.
07
Tommy + PixelCatcoming soon

The Drawer of Dead Gadgets

Tommy opens the junk drawer every household has, and traces one dead phone from the mine to the landfill and — maybe — back.

Breaking slotA right-to-repair law, a product line losing support/getting bricked, a battery scandal, or a recycling exposé — the drawer always has room for one more.
08
PixelCat + Rammycoming soon

Your Toaster Wants $4.99 a Month

PixelCat on the subscriptionization of everything, including things that used to just be… things.

Breaking slotThe week's most absurd new subscription (hardware feature, app that used to be free, appliance with a login) — hold it up, state the monthly price, pause.
09
ByteCat + DaviCatcoming soon

I Let an AI Agent Run My Errands

ByteCat gives an AI agent his to-do list and narrates the results like a nature documentary.

Breaking slotThis week's agent launch, demo, or agent-did-something-unhinged story — narrate the transcript, David Attenborough style.

Rammy + DaviCat + Tommy + NetCat + ByteCat + PixelCat + Lobster Catcoming soon

The Intern Deployed on Friday

Season finale: a dramatization of the oldest cautionary tale in software, performed by the full desk, with sirens.

Breaking slotAny recent bad-deploy or config-push incident, any company — timestamp it against a Friday (or a holiday) and let the desk say 'every time' in unison.
