It has announced a new Plex Labs experiment that allows you to watch shows, movies, and videos from your library together with others, perfectly synced up for everyone.
- “The trampoline is working”—SpaceX returns human spaceflight to America | Ars Technica — Two human lives, NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, hung in the balance. Thousands of people had put a decade of immensely hard work into reaching this moment. Success meant that NASA finally had its own access into space for astronauts. And it is not really an overstatement to say that if SpaceX flubbed this launch on the biggest of stages—if the unthinkable happened—it would scar the future of commercial space.
- Critical 'Sign in with Apple' Bug Could Have Let Attackers Hijack Anyone's Account — Apple recently paid Indian vulnerability researcher Bhavuk Jain a huge $100,000 bug bounty for reporting a highly critical vulnerability affecting its 'Sign in with Apple' system.

Join us today as Matt, Kyle, and Ryan discuss the future of Tesla and its factories, and Apple's defining moment in their past, and the legacy the iPhone has had on the industry and world as we move past the 10 year anniversary of the iPhone last Wednesday.
Topics for discussion
Model 3 goes on sale on Fridayhttps://apnews.com/9e7afbbfbc234b688032f7c4b37d5bbd/Tesla-says-its-Model-3-car-will-go-on-sale-on-Friday
Volvo to completely phase out combustion engines by 2019https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-05/volvo-cars-joins-electric-race-with-plan-for-five-battery-models
Though the company will continue to produce full-combustion versions as it makes the small upgrades automakers introduce with each new model year, when a major revamp occurs (typically every seven years) it will no longer offer that option. That means that by about 2025 Volvo will make its last full-gasoline or diesel car -- the first major manufacturer to make such a pledge.

Gigafactory announcements have been trending in recent months, with plans for at least 10 new plants revealed in the last six months. Half a dozen have been planned in the last month alone.

Hey all! In this episode we test the waters of the podcasting universe with some hot topics going on in the tech world.
Industry 4.0, as defined by Wikipedia, is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things and cloud computing.
We felt that encompasses all that is happening today in the tech world, and has the most direct impact on our daily lives as ordinary consumers.
Thanks for joining us on this ride, and enjoy the pilot episode of our main show!
