Topic 2: Apple Airtags Revisited: Bringing stalking to the masses.

Airtags are certainly not the only tags out there. But, as with all things, Apple brought them to the masses. And that includes the masses of criminals who somehow take everything good and misuse it.

Bad behavior includes following women from a bar after slipping an airtag in her bag, and tracking expensive cars so you can steal them more easily.

Topic 3: It's time for a Robot Roundup!

Where do we stand? Can (should) robots deliver booze? Do they have rights as pedestrians? Is outsourcing policing to them a good idea? Or should they just unload trucks?
