This week, Andrew and David take over the show once more while Marques is out representing Team USA! First, they talk about the rumor that Apple might make a cheaper Mac laptop before getting into Google's upcoming Duolingo competitor. Then they talk about the hectic Chat GPT 5.0 release, Elon trying to sue Apple, and Perplexity trying to buy Chrome. There was a lot that happened. Enjoy!
