258: Not Quite Business as Usual
Manage episode 263709875 series 87541
Andy and Flo lament about their "corona hair" before getting into the specifics of how to cop-proof your smartphone. We discuss why Google postponed the Android 11 Beta event and what the leaks tell us about the next version. We dissect Google's show of solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and why the company might be shifting away from relying on contract workers. We end by convincing ourselves there's a perfectly valid reason for a blush pink Android TV dongle, like the one that's making the rumor rounds.
