Not all tech needs to be overly complex. Occam’s Razor suggests the simpler solution is often the best solution, but it’s not always that easy. We also ponder why farmers don’t discuss edge computing and what flaws need to  be addressed with our Machine Learning and AI projects. Finally, do you catch yourself waving at the end of each Zoom call?  If you’re nodding yes, it’s probably because of the first thing you learned to do as an infant. We explain all this and more, on episode 15 of Baker’s Half Dozen… with Matt Baker!
