Summary

Dan Moren of Six Colors hosts the show with Abrar Al-Heeti while Mikah Sargent is out this week! Facebook is seeing a surge of young adults using its service. Zoom CEO Eric Yaun wants AI to attend meetings for you. What can we expect to be announced at WWDC24 on June 10th? And Microsoft's newly announced Windows Recall feature is severely insecure, according to a security researcher.

Abrar Al-Heeti shares a report from Meta that Facebook has seen the highest number of young adult users within the last three years.
Dan Moren is fascinated by an interview given by Zoom CEO Eric Yaun about how he envisions how AI can be used to attend Zoom meetings for you through a deepfake and allow you to place your attention on other things.
Ryan Christoffel of 9to5Mac joins the show to discuss what we can expect from Apple's upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference and the expected focus on AI.
Finally, Zac Bowden from Windows Central returns to the show to talk about the security issue facing Microsoft's upcoming feature, Windows Recall, and how the data this feature stores locally on your machine isn't well secured at all.

Hosts: Dan Moren and Abrar Al-Heeti

Guests: Ryan Christoffel and Zac Bowden
