Episode 90: Is Tesla unlikable now?


Listen Later

This week we talk about Riley's experience with GDPR, Marc's experience with the Android P beta (and Dan's vow to stop using betas altogether), the latest 1Password release, London's new way to pay buskers with your credit card, and — you guessed it — Tesla. It's been a long road (and will continue to be), but we're maybe not as gung-ho on the company as we once were.

Speed round:

-The HomePod is coming to Canada on June 18 for $450
-Microsoft might be buying GitHub
-Microsoft is more valuable than Google now
-Facebook's nixing the Trending section this week
-Braille smartwatches exist and they're wonderful
