Happy Monday! I STILL HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!

But seriously, we’ve got TONS of tech to talk about. Samsung modems are INSECURE. South Korea walks back work week plans. Buzzfeed slashes their workforce. Robots might replace bees? Fortnite sued for deceptive business practices. YouTube jacks prices again on their TV plans. Google glass is gone AGAIN. Second Life might find a second life on mobile.

And the EU is stepping on Apple’s plans to break USB-C.

Let’s get our tech week started right!
