Xbox replaces its leadership. Is this a sign that Microsoft is looking to sunset its gaming division or is there something else afoot? Samsung unveils its new Galaxy S26 lineup. We ask local Galaxy fan, Robb Dunewood, what he thinks of the new phone line? And Josh asks us “Do you think Meta is moving to close down Messenger?… Are they trying to get everyone on Facebook again OR are they planning to consolidate messaging into WhatsApp? Besides making it easier to maintain just one product, it might move to lock-in WhatsApp as the de facto world messaging app?”

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Roger Chang, Joe.
