#SGGQA 246: Amazon Buys MGM, Vimeo Bandwidth Charges, Congress Against Big Mergers, Geekom's New Mini PC

2 hours 18 minutes

There’s a bill before Congress that would ban mergers over $5 Billion. HumbleBundle has a great collection of games to help support Ukraine. Amazon buys MGM! Vimeo is charging creators and arm and a leg for bandwidth.

And I’m gonna try a little first impressions on a mini PC.

Let’s get OUR tech week started right!
