What this episode covers
This week Chris and Rod have follow up on Apple handing Mac developers their own WSL-ish environment with "Container Machines", a dive into the tech behind Apple's new Foundation Models, and the macOS 27 beta breaking Asahi Linux installations on Apple Silicon. We also discuss FaceTime's powerful new upgrades and Signal sounding the alarm over the UK's controversial device-scanning proposals. In the news, OpenAI claims a Chinese influence campaign targeting US data centres, the grim truth behind the world’s first technical trillionaire, and Microsoft preparing to lock Office 2019 users out of editing on Apple devices. Plus, LibreOffice fires back at Euro-Office, and the NHS handles its administrative backlog by ordering half a million Microsoft Copilot licences. The main show is a massive post-WWDC26 breakdown. The boys share their early impressions of the developer betas, look at the smaller hidden features that missed the keynote stage
