Episode 75: Everything is awful


Listen Later

In this week's (admittedly bleak) show, we chat about the Russian election interference, Shaw's massive employee departure, Huawei and Telus' Canadian 5G test (see? not all bad), Tesla's smart power grid in Nova Scotia, and the iOS patch for that Indian character glitch.

Speed round:

-Google can tell if you're at risk of heart problems with an eyeball scan
-And they want to make machines do more doctoring in the future
-Twitter gave up on its Mac client
-Scientists used LiDAR and discovered a bunch more Mayan ruins
-A scientist captured a photo of a single atom suspended
-Apple employees are (allegedly) walking into glass walls and doors all the time
