2020 was a major year for Google Stadia and Google Chrome. I enjoy tech news but it's like if Apple did not do it then it simply does not matter on TWIT. I really should not be surprised by now.

Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings

Leo and his guests are clueless on bitcoin. The fact that he called it a "ponzi", just shows his ignorance, good lord. If anyone else has suggestions of similar weekly tech summary shows let me know, looking for a replacement so I can drop TWIT for good. I'm sick of all the ignorant comments and his obnoxious SJW buddies that come in as guests.
