What this episode covers
This week Chris and Rod have follow up on Samsung bringing AirDrop support to Quick Share with the Galaxy S26 series, a rebellion inside Microsoft over mandatory account requirements during Windows 11 setup, and the legal face-off between Anthropic and the Pentagon. In the news Apple is organising its enterprise tools by making Business Essentials free, Google has patented a move that could signal the end of traditional websites, and Denon is expanding its multi-room speaker lineup. We also take a look at the "hands-on" impressions of the MacBook Neo and the new Studio Displays, alongside a landmark verdict on social media addiction. The main show takes a practical look at energy independence as plug-in solar panels become a reality in the UK and Europe, inspired by the latest from Technology Connections.
