_Video Replay on Twitch! _

Happy Monday!

This might be the most science-y show I've ever tried to put together!

Qualcomm is partnering with firms to develop RISC competitors to ARM. YouTube is ENHANCING 1080p playback for Premium users. ISPs are likely grifting the FCC. Amazon and WalMart are still selling expired Chromebooks.

And what the heck is going on with LK-99? What's a Superconductor? Augh! My Brain!

Let's get our tech week started right!
