Andy brings you tales of what happens when creators ask YouTube for help and why hundreds of AI workers contracted by Google were fired.

Google has just empowered bots to spend your money, and Reddit is seeking more intimacy. Plus, how Google is inserting itself into Windows _and_ Photoshop.

Our reactions to the Apple event and Samsung's "mean girls" spirit about it all. Andy's adventures with Gemini in Chrome and what Nova Launcher meant to the Android ecosystem.

Andy is solo this week, discussing the latest ruling in the Google Search antitrust case. Plus, a major Material 3 Expressive drop arrived on Pixels.
