About this episode

The episode discusses political content exposure for Welsh voters on social media, the farewell to the Mac Pro, and the impact of ads on coding projects and kitchens.

The gang discusses a new experiment to see how Welsh voters are exposed to political content on social media, waves an unsentimental farewell to the Mac Pro and laments the intrusion of ads into a) our open-source coding projects and b) our kitchens. In our regular Hot Hardware segment, Barry attempts to justify the purchase of his Apple MacBook Pro 16in with M5 Pro processor.
