What this episode covers
This week Chris and Rod have follow up on the DOJ reportedly demanding that Reddit and X hand over the identities of anti-ICE posters, California looking at letting Linux distributions bypass strict age-verification checks, and Meta rolling out a web of new subscription tiers across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. We also look at signs that Apple Music might be planning tiered subscriptions of its own, alongside a neat update bringing live lyrics to CarPlay. In the news, a groundbreaking gene-editing drug slashes bad cholesterol by 62% in a small clinical trial, Apple acquires yet another company to fuel a rumoured Creator Studio subscription service, and a disgruntled zero-day hunter threatens Microsoft with a "bone-shattering" exploit dump. Plus, DuckDuckGo launches a new NOAI search alternative. The main show features the boys' big pre-WWDC breakdown, parsing through massive leaks about an iOS 27 Camera app overhaul, an upcoming anti-snatching safety feature, a potential five-product hardware dump, and some pink Beats headphones spotted in the wild.
