This is TechCrunch.

This episode is brought to you by Plaud, an AI wearable gadget that takes notes of meetings and calls.

With Plaud, you don't have to take notes and make summaries anymore.

It can make life so much easier, specifically Plaud Note Pro, a credit card-card-sized AI gadget that snaps onto your phone and makes it so you can actually juggle three tasks at once,

instead of, you know, trying to listen to something, like maybe this podcast, while also trying to quickly think and scribble down notes.

Plod makes the impossible possible. Now, I could have used the Plot Note Pro at my first job, where I had a boss who loved throwing laundry lists at me of things to get done. PlaudNode Pro would have helped me keep track of it all. It's basically an all-in-one assistant, where you can record audio, upload images, jot-down thoughts, and highlight key moments. Plod turns them into notes. And then with Ask Plod, you'll also get insights and a draft of a follow-up email

that you can send right after your meeting. Ready to take your meetings and podcast listening

to the next level? Just search PLAUD on Google or Amazon and use my code T-C-daily to grab

after nearly two dozen confirmed incidents of the units overheating, emitting smoke, or catching fire.

The U.S. recall comes just months after Tesla recalled Powerwall 2

batteries in Australia following reports of fires. In the Australian recall, the battery cells

inside the power walls were manufactured by an unnamed third-party supplier. Tesla did not immediately

reply to a question about which company manufactured the cells covered by the U.S. recall.
