  • In this episode Mark and Rob recap the big reveals from CES 2023. They discuss the Samsung Galaxy AI features in the new S24 series. Samsung is also promising 7 generations of Android updates, leading to speculation that this means 7 years of support. Other topics include Samsung's own smart ring to compete with the Lotus Ring that lets you control devices by pointing at them like a Jedi, the quirky rolling Ballie robot that Mark wonders if it actually does anything, and Mark's experiences attending CES - seeing the F1 safety car, staying in a massive Trump hotel suite, but somehow missing all the big product demos.
