May 26, 2022Tech News Weekly 236: Apple's Malicious Compliance
California's AB-2408 aims to hold social media companies responsible for social media addiction. DuckDuckGo comes under scrutiny for its deal with Microsoft. Apple's Self-Service Repair Program leaves a lot to be desired. Researchers set their sites on social media dissociation.

First, Techdirt's Mike Masnick stops in to discuss California's AB-2408. The bill, if passed, would allow parents and guardians to sue social media companies for their kids' social media addiction. But does the bill go too far in limiting free speech? Masnick shares his thoughts.

Then, Tom Merritt of the Daily Tech News Show, discusses Bleeping Computer's recent report on DuckDuckGo. The company, which has a partnership with Microsoft, has been accused of allowing Microsoft trackers in its browser while still blocking other third-party trackers.

Then, Mikah regales listeners with the tumultuous tale of embarking on the quest to replace the battery in his iPhone 12 Pro Max by way of Apple's Self Service Repair Program.

Lastly, Jason shares a project from researchers at the University of Washington that looked at how social media design influences dissociation.

Hosts: Jason Howell and Mikah Sargent

May 05, 2022Tech News Weekly 233: Big Tech Reacts to Roe v. Wade
Governor Gavin Newsom of California has signed an executive order regarding the regulation of cryptocurrency in the state. With the Supreme Court's potential Roe v. Wade ruling around the corner, Big Tech is responding. Sonos will reportedly launch a virtual assistant of its own aimed at voice controls for music. Vinyl gets an upgrade to aluminum and lacquer.

First, Ben Pimentel of Protocol stops by to discuss California Gov. Gavin Newsom's new executive order aimed at cryptocurrency regulation. The order builds on the Biden Administration's own rules regarding crypto.

Then, Protocol's Lizzy Lawrence details how tech companies are responding to the Supreme Court's leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Tech companies are now working to outline and update their policies on abortion coverage.

Then, Mikah shares a story from The Verge that provides an in-depth look at Sonos's long-rumored virtual assistant. The company will reportedly launch the music-controlling voice-based assistant on June 1.

Lastly, Jason shares three stories he's excited about: MIT has developed a portable, briefcase-sized desalination machine; the Brooklyn Public Library is offering digital library cards to every teen in the U.S., giving them access to banned books; Producer T Bone Burnett has created the next iteration of the vinyl album — it's made of aluminum and lacquer.
