Topic 1: The "Big Four" IT buisinesses grilled by Congress.

Will there be any real aftermath to these hearings, or is this all just political showmanship?

CEOs from Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google were grilled by Congress. We discuss what this might mean (or not).

Topic 2: SolarWinds abdicates RMM.

SolarWinds has announced that they're just going to use the Microsoft tools to manage patch management. Is this simply "opting out" of the RMM game, or a smart move acknowledging that Microsoft does it better.

What does this mean to you as a SolarWinds user? And does it affect you if you use something else? And is there any long-term effect on the industry generally? We discuss.
