We moved our Podcast to a new host. If you see this you should probably resubscribe on socast.tech

App review prompts, Canadian Internet, Kai got a new mouse, and the Apple Watch can finally take ECG readings (if you're in the U.S.).

Our main topics this week are Australia's Assistance and Access Bill 2018 (RIP encryption), and what makes a good meetup community. Come for the talks, stay for the people!

Today's main "So" is Home Automation. Zach just got some Phillips Hue bulbs, but Malin and Kai are already home automation experts.
