To all our Yankee listeners, Happy Independence Day!  This holiday episode is 100% headlines top to bottom, starting with the CDK ransomware attack hitting US car dealers and a recently pissed-off Hurricane Beryl spinning up in the Atlantic.

But the boys really wanted to focus on a whole bunch of headlines that they’ve missed recently, including: Windows running on ARM; Snapdragon X Elite; Lunar Lake; Dell’s RTO or ELSE; Huawei’s bounceback; Free(d) Assange; Windows (Total) Recall; and Perplexity’s grand theft.  

This episode they sure have packed a whole heck of a lot of topics into just 46 minutes!
