Our favorite ways to share data between devices, what we'd like to see iOS on next after PontoonPlay, whether Private Relay concerns us, and any "dead" media formats we still enjoy.

Jason and Myke lightly cover Apple’s beef with the FBI, Myke gets excited by new phones at Mobile World Congress, Jason grapples with making his home smarter. And of course there’s follow-up about pizza and “Back to the Future”—that’s how it works.
