  • 25: Apple 'Glowtime' event, California AI safety bill, Starlink on warships & the DJI Neo

    In this weeks episode, we take a good chunk of the episode to chat Apple's 'Glowtime' event, and we give you our honest thoughts. We dig into most of their announcements, delving into the new iPhone features, AirPod 4s, and general expectations from Apple products moving into the next few years. All in all, we're quite honest with our review.

    We touch on a surprising story about a Navy officer installing unauthorized Starlink satellites on a warship, an innovative wildfire detection tool that uses social media for early wildfire warning signs, and finally, we discuss California's new AI legislation which is aimed at safety. To wrap up, we explore the capabilities of the new DJI selfie drone (which Gavin already bought) and critique the practicality of foldable phones (which are so lame).
