In today's episode of 'Loud in tech', we discuss Google's decision to encourage employees to switch to a hybrid work schedule and come into the office three days a week. Meanwhile, a recent analysis shows that expensive air quality monitors may not necessarily be more accurate than less expensive ones. Additionally, the podcast brings to light a study that shows how ingesting nanoplastics can lead to neurological deficits. We also touch upon programming culture in the late 2000s and the rise of community knowledge resources. Other topics include the development of an open-source vector toolkit called Supabase Vector and the upcoming FOSSY conference. Finally, the podcast also talks about Asahi Linux's latest upgrade to OpenGL 3.1 and OpenGL ES 3.0.
