Siri had a strange quirk this week that Dave found (of course, Dave found it) involving Danny DeVito. There are a few UI changes in iOS that have been discovered—Dave and I talk about one in particular in the music player. Adam Engst wrote an intereesting article about finding a mobile power source for his Mac, and Dave and I discuss Passkeys replacing passwords.

Apple unveiled some new accessibility features this week, including Eye Tracking. The iPads announced at last week's event are now avalable. The reviews have also dropped, so Dave and I take a look at what people are saying.

It is a big week for women's basketball as college star Caitlin Clark went No. 1 in the WNBA draft. As incredible as her college career was, some fans are outraged at her salary.

This forced me into getting a subscription to Spotify and it has some really cool features. We are all looking (cautiously) forward to AI, but some of the new products are really bad. We take a look at one of them. Show Notes:   Caitlin Clark went No. 1 in the WNBA draft.
