Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of Peer to Peer Wireless Networking.

I'm your friend David Pierce and I am currently in my basement, which is now technically also

my home office.

And I am doing some cable organizing because it's April, it's spring cleaning time and

I have reached the point where I now have four large bins full of cables.

Most of them are USB-C cables so I tell myself that I need them all because USB-C is the

future and you can never have too many.

But I also have some that are like printer cables from the 90s that I don't think I ever

used for anything.

So the point is it's time to go through some stuff.

Anyway, once I finish, we have a great show coming up for you today.

We're going to dig into two big things about the future of the smart home, Amazon Sidewalk

Network and the Matter Standard.

And we're going to try to figure out where both of those things stand now.

Then we're going to head out into New York City and test some laptop microphones to see

if the mic inside of your laptop can hold up to calls and video chats.

And lastly, we're going to talk about Microsoft's many adventures in AI and what Microsoft

is up to says about the future of GPT4 office windows and like what it means to use a computer.

All of that's coming up in just a second.

But first, I have to find my headphone cables.

So wish me luck on that.

This is the Vergecast, scene second.
