#SGGQA 238: Tim Cook Lobbies Senate, 5G Grounding Airplanes, Galaxy S22 Ultra Less RAM, Are NFTs Scams?
Tim Cook was lobbying the US Senate last week. Google and Apple are staunchly opposed to being regulated. Google Play Games are coming to PC, but only in three countries so far. Airlines warn that 5G could ground hundreds of flights. NFTs seem like they might be a scam. And can we chat about the Galaxy Note 22 arriving with less RAM? Let's get our tech week started right!
