About this episode

The episode discusses the success of Apple's MacBook Neo and new features from Meta and X.

The MacBook Neo shipped 1.1 million units in its first weeks on sale, IDC estimates, as Apple pushes deeper into the mainstream laptop market. Also, Meta told TechCrunch that it's considering ways to monetize the new feature, but didn't share specifics on what that could look like. And X will now let you 'react with video' to posts.
