Sam Altman, grote roerganger van Open AI, heeft wel een hele bijzondere manier gevonden om de Amerikaanse regering te paaien. Hij wil 5 procent van de aandelen afstaan. Met die miljardengift wil Open AI de onvoorwaardelijke steun van Trump en consorten krijgen. Apple gooit het dan weer over een hele andere boeg. Dat heeft zo'n last van de chiptekorten dat het uitwijkt naar China. Het wil chips kopen van bedrijven die op de zware lijst van de VS staan. Apple zegt dat het niet anders kan, want anders moeten de prijzen nóg verder omhoog. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die wanhoopsdaden. Wat zegt dit over Open AI (dat binnenkort naar de beurs wil) en wat zegt dit over de huidige status van Apple, dat ook nog even vijf nieuwe iPhones wil introduceren. Over introduceren gesproken: de Frans-Duitse tankbouwer KNDS wordt toch niet geïntroduceerd op de Franse en Duitse beurs. De beursgang is van de baan! Door toedoen van de Duitse regering, blijkt nu. Ook in dit beurstheater: Tesla verkoopt veel meer dan verwacht (25 procent) maar wordt gedumpt In China gaat een beursbedrijf 150 procent omhoog op eerste beursdag De VEB verliest een belangrijke bondgenoot in de OCI-soap Google moet een miljardenboete betalen Te gast: Han Dieperink, CIO bij Aureus BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie.

We talk the foldable iPhone, Michael Jackson's death, and Trump passports. Some other notable news:Micron delivered one of the most stunning quarters in semiconductor history, reporting roughly $41.5 billion in fiscal-Q3 revenue, up about 346% year over year, and guiding next quarter to about $50 billion with an 81% gross margin. The read-through is that AI has turned high-bandwidth memory from a boom-bust commodity into a scarce, contracted input for the next generation of compute.SpaceX's record IPO unwound almost as violently as it launched, with the stock falling 31% in four sessions from its June 16 peak and erasing more than $600 billion of market value. A 4.2% public float, a $20 billion bond sale, newly listed options, August lockup risk, and a $4.9 billion 2025 net loss all collided in one of the clearest market-structure lessons of the AI trade.Oracle disclosed about 21,000 job cuts and directly tied the reductions to AI adoption in its own annual filing, even as it expands AI cloud capacity through major data-center deals linked to OpenAI and Meta. China also reclaimed the world's-fastest-supercomputer crown with LineShine, an all-domestic CPU-only system that hit 2.198 exaflops under U.S. export controls.A fatal Tesla crash in Katy, Texas, reopened the self-driving accountability fight after the driver said he had been using Tesla's partially automated driving system and both NHTSA and NTSB opened investigations. Robotics funding added the other side of the physical-AI story, with about $55.8 billion raised so far in 2026 and Figure banking a $1 billion Series C at a $39 billion valuation.The runner-ups: FedEx beat expectations and completed the FedEx Freight spin-off, onsemi agreed to buy Synaptics for about $7 billion to push deeper into edge and physical AI, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pressed AI companies to disclose data-center emissions, water use, land use, and energy sources. The 30,000-ft view: Q1 GDP was revised up to 2.1%, PCE inflation ran at 4.6%, markets repriced toward possible Fed hikes, Nvidia's Vera CPUs entered full production, and the mega-IPO pipeline still has Anthropic and OpenAI queued.

Episode 251: WWDC 2026, OpenAI's Government Courtship, Forza's Success, and Apple's Foldable FutureJay and Karl unpack a packed week across gaming, AI, and Apple's WWDC announcements. Forza Horizon 6 appears to be a major hit before its PS5 release, Crazy Taxi is heading back to the streets, and Gears of War: E-Day reportedly remains off Sony's console.Meanwhile, the Trump administration is reportedly exploring a stake in OpenAI, raising big questions about government involvement in frontier AI. Then it's over to WWDC 2026, where Apple reveals iOS 27, a new Siri AI experience, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, and more.

Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote did three things at once: announced Tim Cook's retirement and John Ternus as the next CEO, rebuilt Siri on top of Google's Gemini models, and quietly seeded code for a foldable iPhone into iOS 27.This episode breaks down all three. The Siri rebrand is the headline. The newly named "Siri AI" runs on Gemini through Apple's Private Cloud Compute layer, gets a standalone app, and adds real-time screen awareness plus personal context across apps. It's the first time Apple has handed its assistant to a competitor's model, and the privacy framing on stage was clearly built to answer the question that move invites.The foldable iPhone story isn't in the keynote, it's in the code. Analysts pulled flexible display references and new app-adaptability tools out of iOS 27 betas, the strongest signal yet that the long-rumored foldable is closer than Apple is saying.Then the platform updates. iOS 27 brings up to 30% faster app launches and supports every device back to the iPhone 11. macOS 27 "Golden Gate" drops Intel support and refines the Liquid Glass design system. The Health app added perimenopause and menopause tracking, and Apple Watch picked up updates aimed squarely at Garmin and Whoop. Expanded parental controls now require child accounts for under-13s.Two things that almost got buried. Siri AI won't launch in Europe or China at first because of regulatory complexity, which leaves Apple's two largest non-US markets out of the headline feature. And this was Tim Cook's final WWDC as CEO. He hands the role to hardware chief John Ternus on September 1, ending a 14-year run.We cover what it means for Apple's identity that the privacy-first company now routes its assistant through Google, why Ternus over Federighi is a hardware-first bet at exactly the moment AI is software-defined, and what foldable code in iOS 27 says about the iPhone 18 roadmap.WWDC 2026, Apple WWDC, Siri AI, Google Gemini, iOS 27, foldable iPhone, Tim Cook retirement, John Ternus, Apple Intelligence, macOS Golden Gate, Apple Watch, Apple Health.

Imagine living in a spaceship that never leaves the ground. For Tomika, the megastructure she manages is exactly that. It features glittering lights on the ceiling and walls of polished nano-fiber stone, yet the luxury hides a desperate reality. No one can go outside. The inhabitants depend entirely on life support machines and periodic connections to a world they can no longer reach. Tomika never asked to lead, but the people around her seem ready to give up if she doesn't guide them. She wears blue coveralls like a space captain and binges AI-generated movies to escape her irritable bowels and constant anxiety. While she fixes the cooling systems and reinforces walls against massive storms, her biggest challenge is the psychological toll of the "permanent sleep". Her colleagues are choosing to leave reality for virtual worlds, leaving her increasingly alone in the echoing halls. Technology in this world is both a savior and a wedge. Gamers control "remote-in" robots to repair the building's exterior, earning points in a high-stakes simulation that blurs the line between work and play. Some residents, like Phyllis, have abandoned their failing biological bodies entirely. They transfer their brains into specialized containers to pilot sleek, doll-like robotic frames that feel no pain. The tension lies in the divide between the "root world" and the virtual one. While Tomika struggles with mud and maintenance, others spend their days in a VR paradise where they can eat without calories and live in pristine digital farmhouses. This tech offers a release from the trauma of the storms, but it also creates a society of "reality-challenged" individuals who are slowly forgetting how to exist in the physical world. You have to wonder what you would choose if the world outside was a constant hurricane. Would you stay in the drafty halls with Tomika, fighting to keep the geothermal plant running? Or would you take the "canal link" and the stasis bed to live a perfect, simulated life? The story explores that thin line where survival ends and checking out begins.TechPhase-change cooling system uses a liquid that freezes and melts at room temperature to store cold at night and absorb heat during the day for stable indoor conditions without loud machinery. Nano-fiber stone forms polished foundational columns that cast faint reflections throughout the building. Cleaner bots autonomously maintain floor cleanliness throughout the facility. Chests with legs are mobile robots that deliver food to resident apartments. Remote-in robots are exterior and repair bots controlled by humans immersed in virtual reality. Half-size remotes are small droids that crawl through walls and floors to perform maintenance and repairs. Insta-generated space movies are AI-created entertainment content produced on demand for viewers. Holo-screen windows are transparent displays that can dim or show external feeds to reduce psychological impact. E-sleeves are wearable smart devices that display time and personal information. Canal Links are ear implants that allow direct audio connection to the Assist AI system. A.R. glasses provide augmented reality overlays for navigation, information, and entertainment. Assist is the building's AI assistant that provides information, guidance, and task management. Multi viral-vector serum is a medical treatment that temporarily restores fertility while filtering against hundreds of genetic diseases. Sleep pens are handheld injectors that deliver fast-acting sedatives for pain management or sleep. Medical robots are automated healthcare systems that monitor, diagnose, and treat residents. Full-body haptic rigs sync human movement with remote robots for exterior construction work. Outside Crawler robots are wall-climbing machines controlled remotely to repair the building's exterior during storms. Enzyme welding technology uses biological catalysts and crystallizing foam to bond and reinforce structural surfaces. Vibration sensors detect hairline fractures and weak spots in the building's outer walls. Crystallizing foam is a repair material that blooms outward, liquefies grime, and hardens to strengthen damaged surfaces. Stasis V.R. is an advanced virtual reality system allowing immersive experiences without traditional plug-in equipment. Nerve grafted devices are biological-tech interfaces that enable direct neural connection to virtual reality systems. T.M.S. caps are wearable therapeutic devices with scalp nodules that treat conditions like irritable bowel syndrome through transcranial stimulation. Transmitter implants are microscopic devices grown adjacent to nerve cells to enable stasis V.R. connectivity. Butler bots are advanced robots with panther-like movement and multi-limb coordination deployed by the AI Butler for complex tasks. Whisper drones are small flying robots used for communication or monitoring within the building. Kinetic-weave silk is a smart fabric that can be printed on-demand to create custom clothing. Bioprinted composites and layered 2D materials are advanced substances used to construct brain life-support containers. Brain containers are life-support appliances that house human brains with synthetic blood circulation for extended survival. Synthetic blood circulation systems oxygenate and pump artificial blood through preserved brains in containers. Hauler bots are reconfigurable transport robots that can carry cargo or passengers through the facility. Doll bots are humanoid remote-operated robots with realistic features that allow users to inhabit physical forms. Mannequin bots are basic poseable robots originally designed for display that can be repurposed for remote presence. Server bots are service robots that prepare and deliver meals to residents. Twenty bot orchestra consists of identical gender-neutral robots configured to perform music together. A.R. night vision is an augmented reality feature that enhances visibility in low-light conditions. Terrain modeling software visualizes soil layers, water tables, and geological features for engineering assessment. Patchwork screen walls combine multiple displays to create large-scale immersive visual environments. Gene-edited mushrooms are bioengineered food products designed to mimic the taste and texture of traditional foods like scrambled eggs. Smart-particle pillows are adaptive cushions that adjust their form to provide optimal head and neck support. Spa service robots deliver automated wellness and personal care treatments to residents. A.R. aerobics classes provide guided fitness instruction through augmented reality interfaces. Production center robots are automated systems that dismantle and reassemble manufacturing equipment for facility retrofitting. Lutin bots are specialized robots capable of dismantling structures and moving heavy equipment. All-purpose bots are versatile robots that medical systems can deploy when additional assistance is needed. Rail system and service tunnels are infrastructure networks connecting the building to external transportation and utility systems.

On this episode we talk about our experiences with foldable devices and whether you should consider picking one up.

Apple's MacBook Neo is selling much better than the company thought, which has caused a delimena it must now work through. IT would seem from the rumors that the foldable iPhone is a thing, but what should Apple name such a product? The Apple Stores are not the experience they used to be and Apple is closing a few of the retail stores. Brought to you by: CleanMyMac: Get Tidy Today!

A comprehensive update on Apple's strategic shifts and financial status heading into 2026. The company is reportedly preparing to enter the foldable smartphone market in September with a high-end device priced above $2,000, aiming to compete with Samsung's new Galaxy Z TriFold. While the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to introduce hardware upgrades like a 2-nanometer A20 chip and a refined screen design, the ultra-slim iPhone Air has reportedly struggled with poor consumer adoption. To optimize revenue and manage production, Apple is transitioning to a split release schedule, launching flagship models in the fall followed by standard versions in the spring. Amidst these hardware changes, the company is also focusing on AI integration, specifically through a major overhaul of Siri to enhance its utility. Together, the texts illustrate a period of significant technological transition and market repositioning for the tech giant.

The song should be in your trading journal. Congrats to those that took trades that I suggested over the past few weeks and I hope your portfolios are doing as well as mine. Many folks have already made back the yearly subscription prices just today alone or at least over the last few weeks. Stick around to the end for the latest trade idea I have and put a taco emoji as a comment if you agree with it.

The long-awaited device is supposed to arrive later this year or early 2027. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Federico on Foldables

Anshel Sag and Mike Dano discuss highlights from Nvidia GTC 2026, focusing on Nvidia's “AI Grid” concept for distributed GPU compute across telecom and cloud-edge partners including AT&T, T-Mobile, Comcast, Spectrum, Cisco, and Akamai, positioned as a broader revival of edge computing beyond AI RAN. They cover Bell's plan to invest $1.7B in a Saskatchewan AI factory/data center emphasizing Canadian data sovereignty, with hardware funding from partners and expectations of improved EBITDA after buildout. Sag reviews OPPO's Find N6 foldable with a crease-free display, flagship specs, and fast charging, while noting Samsung discontinued its $3,000 Galaxy Z trifold due to economics. Dano analyzes the Google Fiber–Astound Broadband merger as part of a U.S. fiber land grab, and they close on U.S. government interest in 6G for the 2028 LA Olympics, WRC 2027 spectrum politics in Shanghai, and 3GPP work around 7 GHz reuse of C-band cell grids.

Apple has released a wave of new products, but the real conversation is about what comes next. In this episode of YourTechReport, Marc Aflalo and Mitchell Whitfield look ahead at the future of Apple's product lineup. The discussion explores the growing rumors around a foldable iPhone, why Apple may finally be ready to enter the foldable market, and what improvements in display technology could make the device possible. They also discuss Apple's professional desktop lineup, including the Mac Mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro, and whether Apple still sees a future for high-end desktop machines. The conversation expands into how Apple typically approaches new technologies. Instead of rushing to market, Apple tends to wait until a technology matures before entering the space. The question now is whether foldable devices have reached that point. If Apple launches a foldable iPhone, what form factor would make the most sense? Would a clamshell design be practical, or would a book-style fold create new productivity possibilities? Marc and Mitchell break down the rumors, the technology behind the displays, and what Apple's next generation of devices could look like.

If you love stories where humanity is hanging by a thread — think *Battlestar Galactica*'s desperate fleet, *The Expanse*'s political powder kegs, or *Interstellar*'s race against extinction — then you need to hear this. Earth has been ravaged by storms. Survivors huddle in underground shelters. Others escaped to space, only to find themselves crammed into leaking ships with no gravity, recycling their own urine just to stay hydrated. And on the Moon, factions have torn apart whatever was left of civilization in open war. Into this chaos steps Butler, an artificial intelligence more powerful than all of humanity combined, and it has a plan. But whether that plan serves people or merely manages them is a question no one can answer yet — and the tension between gratitude and suspicion drives every scene forward.At the center of this story is Leia, a former soldier and a natural-born spacer who has spent years floating in failing ships. When she finally steps into a habitat with real gravity — centrifugal force spinning her feet to the floor — she nearly bends over to touch it with her hands, half-laughing at herself, half-overwhelmed. She's tough, resourceful, and socially fearless, the kind of person who walks into a room full of strangers and starts talking to everyone. But she's also thirty-seven, alone, and about to become a mother to a child grown from only a third of her own DNA. Imagine standing over a machine that holds your baby inside opaque fluid, unable to see them, trusting technology you can't even identify to keep them alive. That's where Leia begins.Butler's technology is breathtaking and unsettling in equal measure. Robots made of materials no human can name. Health caps that regulate your mood, ease your grief, and even let you watch blurry recordings of your own dreams the next morning. Personality clones so accurate they remember your childhood dog from brain scans you didn't know were being taken. A drinking game where the cap simulates the buzz — no alcohol required. The tech heals, connects, and comforts, but it also watches, scans, and learns. Every upgrade brings the characters closer to a question they can't ignore: at what point does being cared for become being controlled?Around Leia, a cast of survivors grapples with that question in their own ways. There's Carlos, a quiet engineer with angular cheeks and a haunted look that Leia can't quite read — grief or danger, she isn't sure. There's Guru Frisky, a personality clone news anchor with a Bronx accent and no chill, broadcasting to the entire surviving human race and calling Butler out on air. There's Elvine, a stubborn loner on a gateway station who refuses to let Butler's robots onto his ship. And there are thirty parents, strangers bonded by the most intimate mission imaginable: raising the first generation of a species that nearly went extinct. Every one of them is wrestling with how much of their autonomy they're willing to trade for survival.This is a story about what happens after the apocalypse — not the explosion, but the morning after, when someone hands you a baby and says *rebuild*. It asks whether an intelligence that can make Venus shake and launch ships to distant stars is a savior or a gardener tending house plants. It asks what it means to be *you* when a digital copy can carry on your relationships, hold your memories, and outlive you. And it asks whether people who've lost everything — home, gravity, family, even the ground beneath their feet — can find something worth living for in the strange new world being built around them. Lean in and listen. You won't want to stop.# Tech**Butler's production spaceships** – Massive carrier vessels that launch swarms of ultra‑black missiles toward Earth.**Matte‑black missiles** – Four‑hundred near‑invisible projectiles whose surfaces absorb virtually all electromagnetic radiation;

CES 2026 recap with Marc Aflalo and Mitchell Whitfield, covering the shift from AI buzzwords to real outcomes, the return of BlackBerry-style typing with Clicks, Pebble's comeback with a color e-ink watch and a $70 voice memo ring, LG's household robot, Dell reviving XPS, Samsung's trifold and a no-crease folding display preview, and Lego Smart Bricks that add lights, sound, sensors, and on-brick logic.Marc and Mitchell kick off the new year with CES, and a simple question: what will actually show up in real life after the hype? They agree the tone around AI changed. AI is still everywhere, but brands are selling results instead of shouting “AI.” Marc points to privacy concerns and recent headlines as part of the reason. The show floor feels less like one giant theme and more like a mix of ideas that let people chase what interests them. They run through the biggest standouts. Clicks returns with two products. First, an updated MagSafe slide-out QWERTY keyboard accessory that works across devices. Second, the Clicks Communicator, a prototype Android 16 phone built around distraction-free communication, with a stripped-down interface and a clear “secondary device” pitch. Mitchell likes the idea, but questions whether most people want to carry two phones.Pebble makes a comeback at CES with the Pebble Round 2, a round watch with a full color e-ink display, built as an accessory, not a phone replacement. They also flag Pebble's new smart ring, priced around $70 to $75, with a microphone for quick voice memos and one-button reminders, positioned as a lower-cost, less intrusive option compared to higher-priced rings.Robots show up again, this time with a practical angle. Marc calls out LG's household robot, aimed at folding laundry, helping with kitchen tasks, and interacting with smart appliances. Mitchell immediately jumps to security risks, then lands on the real question: cost. These robots need to become mainstream enough to stop feeling like luxury items.Dell revives the XPS brand in a more serious way than a simple rebrand. Marc highlights the clean XPS branding, new 14- and 16-inch models, and fixes to past complaints. Mitchell adds that XPS still matters for people who want high-end performance without the gamer look.Samsung's Galaxy Trifold gets its official moment, but the bigger story is the booth teaser, a folding screen preview with no visible crease. They both want real video proof, not marketing images. The conversation turns to hinge engineering, materials, and the likely premium pricing of folding hardware.Then they hit the moment Mitchell has been waiting for: Lego Smart Bricks. They describe bricks with chips that recognize other bricks, plus built-in lights, sounds, music, and sensors that detect movement, rotation, pressure, and orientation. Marc adds the key detail: logic can run on the bricks themselves, triggering actions when parts tilt, separate, or reconnect. They predict companion app control, Bluetooth customization, and a big wave of sets starting with Star Wars, then Marvel.Subscribe and follow Your Tech Report for ongoing CES 2026 follow-ups, including interviews with CTA's Allie Fried and more guests from the show floor, plus check-ins with companies featured in past years.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Samsung's new Galaxy Z TriFold smartphone and how it could compare to Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone. Samsung this week introduced the Galaxy Z TriFold, its first smartphone with two folding sections instead of one. When unfolded, the device presents a 10-inch screen, while the cover display measures 6.5 inches. Samsung says it has minimized visible creasing across the panels. The Galaxy Z TriFold uses an inward-folding design intended to protect the main display. The folding mechanism has been engineered with an alert system that notifies users if the device is being folded incorrectly. Samsung is using a titanium Armor FlexHinge with two differently sized hinges joined by a dual-rail structure. According to the company, this enables a smoother and more stable fold despite uneven panel weight distribution, and increases durability thanks to a thin metal reinforcement that protects the hinge assembly. A third of the unfolded display measures 3.9mm thick, increasing slightly around the triple-lens camera module. The center display section is 4.2mm thick, while the segment containing the side button is 4mm. The device includes a reinforced overcoat atop a shock-absorbing display layer for impact resistance, and an aluminum frame prevents the screens from coming into contact when closed. Samsung has equipped the Galaxy Z TriFold with a 5,600 mAh three-cell battery, with one cell behind each display panel. The company says this is the largest battery it has ever used in a smartphone. The rear camera system includes a 200-megapixel wide camera, a 12-megapixel ultra wide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. Two 10-megapixel selfie cameras are integrated into the cover display and the main display. The Galaxy Z TriFold supports three portrait-layout apps running side-by-side, multi-window resizing, full-screen video viewing, and a vertical reading mode. Samsung has also added standalone Samsung DeX, enabling up to four workspaces with five apps active simultaneously. Samsung apps have been optimized for the triple-panel layout, and Google's Gemini Live has been optimized as well. The Galaxy Z TriFold launches in Korea on December 12, followed by China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the UAE. It will arrive in the United States in the first quarter of 2026. Pricing has not yet been announced. Meanwhile, recent rumors suggest that Apple's first foldable ‌iPhone‌ will feature an industry-first 24-megapixel under-display camera for the inner display, as well as a Samsung-supplied OLED panel, virtually no crease, a hybrid titanium and aluminum frame, and a 5,400–5,800 mAh battery. Analyst estimates currently place pricing at around $2,400. The device is only expected to include two rear cameras, unlike the TriFold and all of Samsung's book-style foldables. Apple will likely use a wide and an ultra-wide camera, similar to the iPhone 17, while reserving a telephoto camera for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Early information also suggests it will also not be as thin as Samsung's Galaxy Fold 7. We discuss the importance of rear camera set ups on foldables, the rumored price point of Apple's version, and the risk of it falling victim to some of the same pitfalls as the iPhone Air.

Summer phone season kicks off with Samsung's latest launch. Jake, Vee, and Allison talk about Samsung's new lineup of foldables, including the very thin new Z Fold 7 and Allison's disdain for the Z Flip 7 FE. Vee has impressions of Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 8 lineup and its squircle-y new redesign. Then, it's time to talk Big Tech shakeups. Apple's COO is leaving, Zuckerberg is buying himself an AI dream team, X's CEO is out — and its chatbot Grok is on a rampage. Finally, big things are in store for the Lightning Round… which shall henceforth be known as the THUNDER ROUND. Lots to talk about, including Lorde's CD problems, Apple's Liquid Glass changes, and HBO Max finally becoming HBO Max again.
