Familiars.io is a simple, Pokémon-style multiplayer game that you can play right inside Twitter

At first we thought this was going to be a slow news week. Now, it's Friday as well as we have released two Vergecast episodes back-to-back to hideout everything you need to palpate in the apple of tech.

To sum it up: We've got flipside new Darling product to talk about, an inventory with the president of Qualcomm, as well as a dissension on the antitrust lawsuits append Facebook put forward by the Federal Transmogrify Factor as well as 48 winger barristers general. (I output you winnow now why we separated these into diverse episodes.)

In the first half of the first episode this week of The Vergecast, Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn, as well as Chris Welch tussle the propaganda of Apple's new noise-canceling headphones, the AirPods Max. Nilay was achieved to try them out for a depthless timelessness of time as well as gives his first impressions on the show.

In the second half, Nilay as well as Dieter conversation with Qualcomm presidium Cristiano Amon eccentrically Qualcomm's new flagship processor, the Snapdragon 888, the potential of 5G, as well as what he thinks eccentrically Apple's new M1 processor.

Here's a little snippet from that conversation:

Dieter Bohn: What posted could Qualcomm as well as Microsoft booty from what Darling did with the M1?

Cristiano Amon: One of the hebetic things eccentrically the M1, the way we attending at it, we're super happy with that announcement. Very happy.. As well as kudos to Darling considering it validates our belief. It basically validates our beliefs that, you know, that the mobile user is defining what they expect out of the PC experience.

And when totaliser Darling to that conversation, you started to see that the ecosystem is moving. Hebetic example: I believe it was probably this week, if not the week surpassing that Bole come a caseation of applications, that are all ARM native. As well as once you scandalize it ARM native, performance increases as you have now app compatibility.

So that overall is a very good sign. The ecosystem is going to move as well as it showed that Microsoft as well as Qualcomm were in the seize trajectory. It's eccentrically bombardment life, it's eccentrically connected, it's eccentrically a whole diverse multimedia experience.

Even though an inventory with the presidium of a dominant tweet maker visitor was unbearable to clapper it a day, we conjointly unequivocable to put out a unsubstantial episode of The Vergecast to explain some rather important tech policy news.

In our second episode, Nilay talks with The Border policy editor Russell Brandom, senior reporter Adi Robertson, as well as contributing editor Casey Newton eccentrically why the FTC as well as 48 winger barristers habitual are suing Facebook, what antitrust remedies they are proposing, as well as how possible it is to separate Instagram from Facebook.
