2 hours 23 minutes

Video Replay on Twitch!

What a strange time we live in.

There's a LOT of tech news firing up around the web! Reddit's moderators are pulling popular subreddits down in protest of API changes. Twitter still refuses to pay their bills. Tesla's autopilot might be responsible for more accidents than previously thought. YouTube has stopped removing misinformation about the last election. We say goodbye to Blue Microphones.

And we can dig into some of the rumors about the upcoming Pixel 8!

Let's get our tech week started right!
