It's a big week for the smart home. Jake, Vee, and Jen sit down to chat about all the new tech out of IFA, from robots that carry robot vacuums up stairs to upgrades that turn 10-year-old Hue bulbs into motion sensors. Then, Lauren joins the show to talk about the Google antitrust remedies ruling and what Google is going to have to do to allow more competition in the search market. Finally, the Thunder Round is back and better than ever. We're talking $2,000 smart watches, Amazon yanking a major Prime perk, the Pixel 10 Pro's 100x AI zoom, Instagram for iPad, and drama at the FTC. #Podcast #Vergecast #Technology 0:00 Intro 00:22 Introducing Vee's new Optimizer Newsletter 01:16 IFA Trade Show Highlights from Jen Tuohy in Berlin 02:53 Smart Home Innovations at IFA 04:03 The Stair-climbing Robot at IFA 07:35 Philips Hue's New Features 17:22 AI-Powered Smart Homes 31:09 Google Antitrust Ruling Discussion 39:28 Google's Remedies and Future Possibilities 40:00 Judge's Perspective on Google's Payments 41:21 Critics' Reactions and Enforcement Challenges 45:26 Antitrust Law and Restoring Competition 49:32 Industry Reactions and Future Implications 01:23:57 FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter's Return 01:28:17 The Final Thunder Round!?
