This week, AYANEO is chasing the classics again, teasing a Game Boy Advance clone, while Magmi is getting vertical – plus, a Mechanism desk stand for your handheld, 8BitDo’s FlipPad, and the GPD Win Max 3 blurs the lines between laptop and console.
On NPC XL, Brendon and John try Armada and report to listeners about whether it’s ready for prime time.
Niléane brings her newest fan (literally), Chris just assumed his co-hosts have installed the betas (they have), and they all tell each other how their respective apps could start earning millions.

While OpenAI readies a familar-sounding smart speaker, Jason and Myke break down the public betas for macOS, iOS, and watchOS, including Siri AI and new Photos features.

Apple’s public betas, how we read for pleasure, whether we have multicolored smart lighting, and digital disaster preparedness.
Guy meets someone in the woods, Moltz makes a proposal and Dan finds books frustrating.
Inside Apple’s OpenAI lawsuit: How do trade secrets conflict with expert knowlege, was there a concerted effort to steal secret documents to kickstart OpenAI hardware, and how does Apple’s own vulnerability inform the whole situation?
Physical vs. digital media and how we organize it, our system for the digital “deal with it later” pile, what we do with old hardware, and iPhone ergonomics.
This week Lex has audio issues, Dan wants to unload some old hardware and Moltz is tired of fireworks.
Apple seeks RAM in all the wrong places, Jason has two tangents about FileMaker, and we deal with a large load of somewhat puzzling rumors and legal cases.
Apple’s price hikes and our buying plans, our beta OS strategies, dealing with subscriptions, and Meta’s new glasses fees.
Apple hikes prices, Dan goes down a rabbit hole, Moltz is holding confessional and Lex rightfully self-promotes.
Apple raised prices! Is this a shocking move, or were Apple products just sneakily affordable before? (And can it be both?) We also parse Mark Gurman’s reports on Apple skipping over may M6 chips to go directly to M7.
The Apple II makes its public debut at a landmark event in the history of personal computers, and Steve Jobs truly comes into his own.
Our thoughts on Valve’s Steam Machine pricing, the third-party camera apps we actually use, whether we wait for tech sales before buying, and if being the “tech person” inspires others or just makes them defer to us.
This week we discuss post-CEO job opportunities for Tim Cook, new TVs and our beta experiences or lack thereof.
