Episode 7: Spies Like Us

June 20, 2020

Sam and Donovan man the show discussing Sam finally moving into his new home (it took long enough!), and a question from the So… deck.
In tech news, Microsoft ups their game with Microsoft Teams, an academic exercise in eavesdropping using sound vibrations on light bulbs (it’s not really as cool as it sounds), a short-cut for Siri to start recording video and audio if you get pulled over, a massive spying ring forces Google to pull some add-ons from the Chrome Web Store, and T-Mobile explains what happened earlier in the week with their outage.
