There are also rumors afoot of a teeny tiny new Mac mini from Apple that would shrink the size of this diminutive computer down to three size of an Apple TV—but powered by a M4 Pro chip! The boys also provide updates on the CrowdStrike Blue Screen of Death calamity as Delta points fingers at both CrowdStrike and Microsoft; the death of Chromecast, and much more. Get into it.
