this episode, we dive into a packed lineup! We break down Motorola's surprising alignment with GrapheneOS and what that means for privacy-focused Android users, alongside a quick explainer of the OS itself. From there, we look at VitaLink's ambitious foldable device, cramming a 13-inch screen and keyboard into a single slab at a surprisingly low Kickstarter price, and Audio-Technica's eye-watering £1,700 AT-LPA2 turntable aimed squarely at audiophiles. We also explore Waveshare's £150 handheld Linux machine that challenges the need for a traditional laptop, before shifting gears to Google's crackdown on "back button hijacking" tactics used by some websites. Finally, we unpack the controversy around claims that Microsoft and LinkedIn have been "illegally searching" users' computers, and what it could mean for trust in big tech.
