About this episode

The episode discusses recent Apple device releases, privacy issues with Ray-Ban Meta, and Google's Play Store tax, among other tech topics.

A lot happened this week! First, the crew falls down a rabbit hole discussing the Subaru UI and volume knobs before jumping right into all of the new Apple devices that were released. Then they talk about the Honor robot phone, Ray-Ban Meta privacy issues, and Google's 30% Play Store tax. They wrap it up by explaining the Bam Adebayo record breaking performance in tech terms.
