0:00.0	Welcome to the Tech Memm right home for Tuesday, November 12th, 2024. I'm Brian McCullough today.
0:08.9	Looks like Apple wants to get serious about smart home tech. The EU gets meta to change, but has another
0:15.0	requested change from Apple. Signal has some new features. Netflix's ad tier continues to win,
0:20.7	and a deeper dive into how AI can
0:22.8	leap this scaling while it seems to have run into. Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.
