Where will Meta, Apple, and Google be three years from now? It's starting to look like they might all be very different. Nilay, David, and The Verge's Richard Lawler start the show with Eddy Cue's testimony in the Google search trial, in which Cue argued that AI is taking over — and that Google should be allowed to keep paying Apple gobs of money. The hosts also chat about the latest in the Meta trials, and how the recent Apple ruling is already changing the App Store. Then, there are some gadgets to talk about: the panopticon-slash-killer-app coming for Meta's smart glasses, the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, and a lot of new iPhones. In the lightning round, we do another round of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, then talk about some new Netflix designs and the latest in our worldwide hunt for party speakers.

In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun explore Microsoft's latest Surface hardware announcements and what they mean for everyday users — including accessibility and hardware compromises. They share hands-on impressions and debate the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop's specs, design changes, and what users should consider before upgrading. Plus, Sean Randall joins the conversation to deliver an incredibly simple and affordable tip for blind users: using a label printer at home. The trio dives into how this mainstream tech solution can beat specialist tools in cost, usability, and practicality. Wrapping up, listener emails highlight growing frustrations with web accessibility on Chrome for Mac, and Amanda from Australia raises a compelling point that resonates globally.Chapter Markers00:00 Introduction02:30 New Surface Devices Overview17:56 AI Features and Software Updates22:48 Labeling Technology DiscussionQuotes“If you're using magnification software, the Surface Pro is a great machine to look at.” – Steven Scott“The printer was so simple: typed in Notepad, hit print, label in hand.” – Sean Randall“Cost is a factor.

In this episode, I wanted to talk about thanks to  ⁨@MicrosoftCanada⁩  I was sent a Surface Laptop to try out CoPilot in hopes that it could help with accessibility, and what happened was that CoPilot helped out in another way I wasn't expecting. It helped become a creative adventure writing partner for D&D that made me more efficient and kept that creative wheel spinning.

In this week's exciting episode of the Windows Central Podcast, Daniel and Zac discuss the official death of Skype, our struggles as a podcast that has exclusively used Skype for almost a decade, and the latest from Copilot on Windows and future AI experiences in the OS. Also this week, we talk about Lenovo's latest weird PCs, the new MacBook Air and how we think it's a bad deal now that devices like the Surface Laptop 7 exist.

On this week's episode, Zac Bowden discusses the existence of an 11/12-inch Surface Pro and Surface Laptop that Microsoft is planning to ship this year, the latest from Windows 11, the recent Microsoft 365 rebrand, and the Galaxy Unpacked event.

Windows 11 24H2 is following a now-familiar trajectory to release. Right, it's chaos Microsoft issues last-second updates to 22H2/23H2 and 24H2 in the Release Preview on Monday.
