Concert for One, Wolfs, FCC

MacBreak Weekly 949: Glick-ed

In this episode of This Week in Tech, the panel tackles the "biggest hack in US history," the future of AI, and the role of government in tech. From the Chinese hack's implications to Microsoft's AI-powered Recall, the Supreme Court's tech-related cases, and the push for social media age verification, Leo Laporte, Patrick Beja, Wesley Faulkner, and Alex Wilhelm provide insightful analysis and lively discussion on the most pressing issues facing the industry today.<ul> 
<li>China's "Salt Typhoon" hack, dubbed the "worst hack in our nation's history," which compromised US telecommunications infrastructure and allowed surveillance of high-profile individuals</li> 
<li>The panel debates the challenges of securing outdated infrastructure and the role of government in regulating tech companies</li> 
<li>DOJ's push for Google to sell off Chrome to break its search monopoly, and the potential implications for competition and innovation</li> 
<li>Alex Wilhelm's article "If you like startups, you should love anti-trust" and the importance of fostering competition in the tech industry</li> 
<li>Microsoft's Windows 365 Link, a $349 mini PC that streams Windows from the cloud, and the potential for thin client computing</li> 
<li>Microsoft's Recall AI feature, which records and indexes users' screen activity, raising security concerns but offering potential benefits for users</li>
