                                            video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF-Zux_pQ-Y

                                            How valuable is open-source software, really? A new Harvard study puts a staggering number on its economic impact—but there’s a catch. We break down what this means for the future of open source and why companies might not be pulling their weight. Plus, NVIDIA just made a major announcement in robotics that could change everything. Their latest tech is open-source, but is that enough to shape the future of humanoid robots? Join us for a deep dive into the power of open source and the future of AI-driven robotics!

The latest Firefox Terms of Use update sparked major backlash, with users fearing data harvesting, forcing Mozilla to backtrack—again. Meanwhile, Firefox 136 brings great updates for Linux users, but that’s overshadowed by the mess they are making. And on the Google side, the DOJ is pushing for Chrome to be sold to break Google’s search monopoly. Could this actually happen? What would it mean for the future of web browsing? Let’s break it all down!
