Microsoft and NVIDIA dominated this week's hardware news, with the RTX Spark and Surface Ultra positioning as the first credible challengers to Apple's M-series silicon. The hosts are skeptical. The word 'allegedly' does a lot of work here.
The episode opens with Andrew's DIY Casio F91W smartwatch build, which is worth watching for the hardware nerds. Then the conversation moves through Google letting websites opt out of AI Mode, Microsoft banning employees from using Claude Code in favor of its own tools, and Anthropic quietly filing for a confidential IPO.
The full episode earns your time for two reasons: the unfiltered take on whether any Windows chip actually competes with Apple Silicon at timestamp 01:09:35, and the Anthropic IPO discussion at 01:17:25, where the hosts work through what a public Anthropic means for the AI market. The WWDC wishlist segment at 00:39:14 also sets up next week's coverage.
