Apple investigated for anti-trust because of pre-installed apps on the iPhone! Facebook is slapping ads on Oculus! Oppo and OnePlus are now directly working together! Leica announced a phone! A nationwide bill is up for Right to Repair!
And I’m kicking off a contest with the folks at FanFund!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
I’m working with a small tech startup looking to improve the conversations between viewers and creators. FanFund is trying to analyze some of the data on a variety of different social media services to try and create a resource for creators to engage better around the web. I’m hoping this could be a better way for me to organize conversations, and find the people who best support our nerdy community.
We’d appreciate your participation, supplying some public information on the social media services you use. Nothing private, no signing in through a platform, only your user names already publicly available.
FanFund is giving one lucky participant a $150 Amazon Gift Card, and I’ll announce the winner on my podcast July 5th. This is an international giveaway!
Help us build something cool!

A month after launch, it’s clear Xiaomi is REALLY stepping up their game.
This is a fantastic “entry” level option for the premium tier of phones. Blurring the line between nicer mid-rangers and more expensive flagships. Compromises are NOT deal breakers if you know what you want!
