Happy Monday!

The courts are arguing over Net Neutrality again! The DA investigating Musk over $1 Million prices is getting death threats. Russian fines Google an IMPOSSIBLE amount of money. Microsoft stock is down after earnings call, they’re delaying Recall again, and they’re already set to abandon “CoPilot” branding to copy Apple. Tidal needs more marketing, so Jack Dorsey fired the marketing team. Intel is in ROUGH shape. NVIDIA might make an ARM chip. Apple is buying a popular photo editing app.

And lets talk about those Snapdragon 8 Elite benchmarks…

Let’s get our tech week started right!
