Tea: Bai Hao/Oriental Beauty. Damon talks differential privacy and tracking. Michael mentions the Raspberry Pi and its use in a couple of open-source style alternatives to home assistant devices. Both show off their knowledge of sports and play the “which social media site is best” game. Plus: shout outs, virtual reality (VR), games, and more!
