Apple is sued over carbon-neutral claims, and they try to explain why the 16e is such a terrible phone. NVIDIA might be purposely holding back stock to inflate prices. AMD announced some GPUs that might be actual competition for a change. Microsoft is shutting down Skype. OpenAI’s new model seems like a dud, but it’s MUCH more expensive. EA released the source code for one of my all time favorite classic PC games. MWC kicks off today, but the news has been pretty quiet.

And we HAVE to talk about all this Xiaomi stuff!

Let’s get our tech week started right!
