Main Show starts at 9:19
Is the Xbox hardware long for this world? Recent moves by Microsoft seem to suggest it may not be. Can fitness trackers really help you reach your fitness goals? Mattress company Eight Sleep added an “outage mode” to its smart beds after an AWS outage left thousands of users unable to adjust temperature or incline settings. And OpenAI launched, ChatGPT Atlas, its chromium based web browser this week.
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Nicole Lee, Roger Chang, Joe.
