#SGGQA 170: Samsung Note 20 Cooling, Apple Blocks Payment Transparency, Neuralink Cyborg Pigs, XPERIA 5ii Leaks, Microsoft PLAYED Influencers
Chadwick Boseman's last tweet breaks Twitter's record for likes.
Netflix is making a handful of shows and movies free to watch with ads. Samsung ends a group of web services, replacing them with Microsoft services. Joe Budden's podcast is leaving Spotify. Apple terminates Epic's developer account, while also taking money from small businesses on Facebook. Elon Musk showed off Neuralink on pigs. Samsung has different cooling methods on different versions of the Note 20. We have new leaks on the XPERIA 5ii.
And we have to chat about the early Surface Duo videos, because Microsoft is playing some 4D chess with influencers.
Let's get our tech week started right!
