The Talk to You Later Show

We discuss the year of 2021 after a quick topic about Amazon's Alexa, telling a girl to electrocute herself.  

Alex's most significant events are the launch of Polkadot and EIP 1559. Trevor's are the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remake, the announcement of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the release of the OLED Switch, the launch of the James Webb Telescope, and the Chip Shortage. Nick's are mainstreaming of cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens; and the release of Fuji's GFX 100S, Nikon Z9, Canon R3, raising the standard of professional photography.

This episode was a little wild. Trevor had a bunch of topics. News was a little weak for me. I finished my arch of Acala news last week, and all I had was my Oura Ring experience to share. The following are the topics that Trevor had: GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition's latest patch fixes 117 bugs and 'adds cloud cover' | VGC, Linux Mint 20.3 Arriving Soon with a Surprise New App, Rare Candy is Bitcoin's newest NFT platform, and CERN collider detects neutrino for the first time. I recall that Trevor's topics were hidden until the last minute, so I was unable to craft the conversation better. We discussed the delay of the James Webb Space Telescope. NASA delays launch of new James Webb Space Telescope after 'incident'. Kyler and Nick made same music. Nick has a possible five new song, pending. He is considering publishing them as a collection on a platform. Kyler explained his Twitter post about recreating the first part of 'Ric Flair Drip' in FL Studio BY EAR.
