HOUSEKEEPING: Hello everyone and sorry that this episode is late! I was super busy last week :( Also this is the last episode before we go on summer break. We will be returning on 8th July. I’ll still release a newsletter as planned at the end of this month :) See you soon!

Hey guys and welcome to another episode of Tanvir Talks! Join me, your host Tanvir, and my trusted co-host, Ehsan, in the latest Tanvir Talks episode where we discuss:

Google making cameras more inclusive (3:18)

Google recently had their Google IO event where they showed off what they’ve been working on in the last year. We talk about the two main things shown off - the fact that Google are changing the algorithm so that it was more accommodating for non-white skins and project Starline.

Apple and the Epic Games trial (18:30)

As we’ve spoken before, Apple and Epic Games are in a middle of a lawsuit. The three weeks of hearings have come to an end. Ehsan and I discuss how Tim Cook was caught off guard and the implications of the comments he said.

What we’ve been listening to (29:19)

Ehsan talks about his new podcast he’s been listening called ‘The Happiness Lab’ and I talk about how I’ve been listening to the low-fi song ‘Purple Red’ on repeat.

Governments intimidating Platforms and other ‘Glitches’ (37:22)

Recently, governments have been intimidating platforms to prevent people to speaking out against them, and some journalists were on the receiving end of ‘glitches’ that would automatically take down their posts. I discuss why we should care about this, even if it may not affect you.
