Digital sovereighty is not only about software. Testing Nothing phone
Om avsnittet
Every week, this show asks one question: can you actually build or rebuild a business on European and open-source tech — without sacrificing quality, cost, or reliability?
Hosts Tom Breza and Wojtek Kołodziejczak test that question from two different directions. Tom, with 30 years in tech, is migrating his IT and cybersecurity business, Operum.tech, off US Big Tech infrastructure one layer at a time. Wojtek is an AI strategist helping organisations adopt AI in a compliant way, and he's building a brand-new company designed to be sovereign from day one. Every tool they test gets held to the same three questions: Is it as good? Is it worth the money? Can I actually rely on it?
In this episode, Tom and Wojtek break from the usual guest format for a news roundup: the latest developments in digital sovereignty and AI worth paying attention to.
Tom also shares his hands-on take on the Nothing phone — a UK-based alternative to the usual iPhone/Samsung duopoly. It's not a fully sovereign device (some American components and software are still under the hood), but Tom put it through its paces as a real-world test of how far you can get from Big Tech just by choosing a different brand, and what solutions — sovereign or not — actually exist inside it.
New episodes weekly.
