It’s been a rough week as both of our young children tested positive for Covid, and since recording this early on Friday my wife has tested positive now too. Thankfully the kids seemed to recover fairly quickly and are mostly back to normal, and I hope the same for my wife and myself should this nasty stuff get to me too (which it very likely will). So this week’s show is a bit on the shorter side due to Eli having a vet obligation and me just been dead ass tired, but we do dig into two pretty hot topics in the world of tech and gaming: A new antitrust bill that could force Apple to allow sideloading on the iPhone, and the blockbuster deal that will see Microsoft picking up Activision for a cool 68 billion with a B.
