#SGGQA 229: Apple Digital ID Costs Taxpayers, Pixel 6 Pro Teardown, Vizio Ad Sales, Steam Deck Delayed

2 hours 23 minutes

Apple is walking back their terrible decision to harm 3rd party iPhone repair, and we get an even better look at the Pixel 6 Pro in an iFixit teardown! Vizio announced recent profits, and ads ON their TV make them more money than selling TVs. Steam Deck has been delayed, and it’s breaking my heart.

Plus, we should start chatting categories for year in review videos!

Let’s get our tech week started right!
