Age Against The Machine – DTNS Live 5095

The initials DTNS in a multicolored 1980s style with the word LIVE underneath in white on a black background. C-SPAN makes a deal for carriage on YouTube TV and Hulu. Justin has the details. Philips Hue launched a big product refresh at IFA 2025, with cheaper smart bulbs, revamped light strips, and a new Bridge Pro hub. Apple plans to launch a search tool in iOS 26.4 in March, integrated into Siri called “World Knowledge Answers.” And we examine how different companies are and aren’t complying with state level regulations on age-verification.

Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Justin Robert Young, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
