NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have likely been taking over your news feed in the last few weeks, as they certainly have ours. With an almost Gamestop-esque rise recently, we're seeing more and more headlines about digital assets being sold for thousands, if not millions, of dollars. This week, we take a brief moment to go over the fundamentals of NFTs and then chat with Justin Maller, a well-known digital artist and Chief Creative Officer at DeviantArt, to see the other side of the coin and how NFTs could be truly game-changing for digital artists like him.

This week, we discuss the odd focus issues with the new on-field Super Bowl cameras, the rumors surrounding the Amazon Alexa Command Hub, and a truly crazy four-sided waterfall display Xiaomi smartphone. Then, we discuss the phenomenon of ads on smartphones and how they're rapidly getting worse, as well as a few new Android 12 UI leaks. Finally, we wrap up the show with some news about Audi's new "E-Tron GT" EV and why focusing solely on battery range may be slightly misguided.
