Some thoughts on the Apple vs Epic trial results
Last week we saw the result of the Epic vs Apple trial. As expected, most of the stuff that was discussed on the lawsuit was rejected, and the judge gave Apple a pass on almost all of the accusations (also, Epic will have to pay a lot of money due to breaking contracts with Apple).…

Some thoughts on the Protonmail case
This week there has been a lot of buzz about the fact that Protonmail (a mail provider that sold privacy above everything) tracked the IP of a climate activist and provided it to the french police, after it was requested. Of course, many people claimed that privacy should be above everything, and that Protonmail has…

404, Robotaxis, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#29)
OnE wEeK uNtIl HoLiDaYs. LET’S GO! Trump or gangbang? Funny story of the week. It seems that an old YouTube competitor was storing many videos for different media outlets.

Billion dollar dreams, Stadia’s fall? and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#28)
Fully vaccinated (finally!) and one week closer to holidays. Let’s do this! A new screen, the worst possible name ever, an ethernet port for the dock (wow, 2021 guys), and the same broken joycons.
