#SGGQA 195: Google SmartWatch Revival, Frys Closed, Twitter Super Follow, Can Moto make a Nord Killer?


Listen Later

Been a busy week at the FCC! A task force is being created to get more accurate measurements on broadband, and new subsidies are being drafted to help people struggling to pay for internet access. Twitter is looking to monetize your tweets with a new paywall service. Verizon helpfully suggests you disable 5G to save your battery. Frys has closed.

And playing around with a Motorola Ace 5G, can Moto make a Nord killer?
Let’s get your tech week started right!
