Shownotes Transcript

This week, Marques and David jump right into a bunch of news from the last week or two starting with their thoughts on the Humane AI pin. After that, they discuss iMessage coming to the Nothing Phone 2 (kind of) and a bunch of gadget news ranging from the new Steam Deck OLED to some EV announcements. We wrap up the podcast with answers to our Andrew-centric trivia questions. Speaking of which, Andrew is a dad now!

Note: The news of RCS coming to iMessage got announced after we finished recording so make sure to check in next week for a full deep dive and discussion on that.
