609: You Gotta Be Gud

This week: Myke has a new laptop, Federico has thoughts on Siri AI, and Stephen has been graded. Also: Apple vs. OpenAI and a big day for Mario fans with feet. 

Federico is at the beach, Myke questions his iPhone's future, and Stephen wears watches. Then: a whole stack of Q&A items. 

The Apple Watch is rumored to undergo some big changes, Safari is gaining MCP support, and the Rickies may have accidentally created a black hole. 

Our view on Instagram's new "Teen Accounts" and their direction, thoughts on Qi2, charging speeds, and MagSafe, our favorite new feature in Apple's latest platform updates, and the update we like least or will need time to adapt to. 

Bonnets off to the BBC, the trouble with headlines, Socrates on mountain skis, some slight existential dread about Mac software, irrational love of old computers, Apple's smart home strategy for 2025, and the long wait for some AI features.
