Nothing Like a New MacBook!

So much happened this week that it felt like Techtember all over again. First, the crew sits down to talk about the week of Apple product announcements including the new iPhone 17e and MacBook Neo. After that, it's all about Nothing which released the new 4a and 4a Pro along with a new pair of headphones. Then it gets existential as discussion turns to the future of AI and the internet. Enjoy!
