#SGGQA 270: Microsoft Surface Event, iPhone Crash Detection, Boston Dynamics and Weapons, Pixel 7 Reactions

2 hours 18 minutes

Microsoft is going to release some new products this week. What's the future of Surface looking like? Elon Musk and Twitter are still feuding. Boston Dynamics posts an open letter about weaponizing their products. The EU standards for USB-C seem perfect to let Apple off the hook.

And we should probably chat about the Pixel 7, and some of the weird coverage this year...

Let's get our tech week started right!
