Episode 447: Mating for Life
It's Infrastructure Week! Dan and Merlin start with California's power crisis and end up pivoting to phones, cable TV, and, of course, Apple.
What happens when a resource we think of as a solved part of our infrastructure suddenly isn't so solved?
And, what would Apple look like if it treated all of its services as seriously as it once treated the Mac?
Also: lizard updates, but please don't Google "hornworms."
