In This Episode: We’re back, just a little tweaked. Something’s clearly frozen over because Edge is good now. Apple’s privacy push is actually working. 1960s Lunar Orbiter images, saved from loss, are amazing. Plus: Picard, The Innovators, and retirement accounts for kids.
Schedules are complicated, and with the holidays fast approaching we’ve decided to take a little break. While we might put out an occasional episode in the coming months, we’ve decided to put TEH on hiatus until the new year.
Miss our voices? Fear not! We each have separate podcasts and projects that continue.
You can hear (and sometimes see!):
Have a great end of year and holiday season, and we’ll be in your ear again next year!

In This Episode: Kevin’s new puppy. Gary’s new iPhone. Apple Arcade and whether only 100 is really any different than the “top” 100. We briefly discuss a quantum computing breakthrough that maybe both true and not true. A death among Leo’s acquaintances has him reminding us to make sure someone can access your accounts in case of disasters. We then go on to spend most of the episode discussing the state of streaming, the various networks we’re all going to have to sign up for, and how it’s a case of “be careful what you wish for”. We’d never watch an 8 hour movie, but we’ll happily binge watch a 10 episode streaming show. Story arc’s are all the rage, so be sure to tune in next week…
