This week we have our first sneak peek at "ValiDrive" the freeware I decided to quickly create to allow any Windows user to check any of their USB-connected drives. There's been another sighting of Google's Topics API; where was that? Has Apple actually decided open their iPhone to researchers? And what did some quite sobering research reveal about our need to absolutely trust each and every browser extension we install... and why was that sort of obvious in retrospect? We're then going to entertain some great feedback from our amazing listeners before we conclude by looking at the exclusive club which Apple's just-declared membership made complete.
