Bryan and Demetrius look back on some of their favorite topics and moments from season 9 before diving into Tesla’s revived non-resale clause. We discuss why we think they’re doing it (hint: it’s not to stop flippers) and what impacts it could have if it became standard practice.

Then, we review HP’s new All-In plan, a subscription service that includes a printer, ink, and a set number of pages to print each month.
