2 hours 50 minutes

Video Replay on Twitch!

Happy Monday!

What a crazy weekend. We had a tropical storm and an earthquake!

Plus, Twitter continues to dumpster dive to lower and lower depths. Apple devices are easy to game with some basic Bluetooth hardware. Sandisk drives are failing. Courts rule AI art can't be copyrighted.

And we have to chat about this new gaming handheld from Lenovo!

Let's get our tech week started right!
