The Microwave Moment

TOPIC: You're not supposed to pet the car.

This week, Dan and Merlin discuss Nest Cam updates, Ring doorbell tracking, Echo family additions, HDMI questions, the fraught landscape of 4K HDR TV stuff, and how shopping makes Merlin feel kind of vulnerable.

Two excellent music podcasts are recommended.

Dan has a new MacBook Pro and a lot to say about it.

Merlin introduces something he calls "Power Puttering."
