Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod.

168: It's Cool to Be Cool

Episode Summary

It was a pretty heavy week for a variety of reasons, so we decided to discuss a few shorter topics to try to take it in, starting by touching on the mass layoffs sweeping the tech industry and elsewhere. Then we make a... Musk sandwich, first by covering the New York Times Magazine's extensive article on Tesla's Full Self-Driving issues, then by examining the Orwellian goings-on with Twitter third-party clients. Finally, we go to our happy place with a quick check-in on Will's new Beelink NUC-like and the server stuff he's done with it so far. Support the Pod!
