It's hard changing routines, and this week Flo is reckoning with how much she's enjoying making the switch to Fire TV after so many years with Google. We'll talk about Google's brave withdrawal of FLoC and why Topics is only slightly better, and we'll introduce you to Google's new executive VP in charge of technology and society. Then, we've got rumors! A ton of them! What is Google announcing this spring? Plenty of new gadget-y things! We'll talk about the AR glasses, the folding Pixel, the budget Chromecast, and the Pixel Watch. We'll even make some time for the Pixel 6a. It's so nice to have things to look forward to!
