Meanwhile, the long-held promise of cheaper tech is fading, robotaxis still aren’t winning over the public, and Amazon is tangled up in a mysterious satellite story you won’t want to miss. Ian Sherr breaks it all down—what it means, what’s confusing, and what actually matters—on this week’s Tech Talk.
