It's the first episode of the new year! Welcome back to another episode of Waveform. This week, it's a classic gadget episode as Marques sits down with Andrew and David to talk about some impressive tech being released at CES 2023, Pixel 7 phones shattering, and the new Qi2 wireless charging spec that was recently announced. Does this mean Android users will finally get MagSafe accessories?

In this episode, David sits down to explain how wanting the Pizza.Pizza domain led him down a rabbit hole to discovering some interesting facts about how the internet works.

This week, half of the podcast team is unfortunately home sick. But we haven't missed a single week of the podcast and we weren't going to start now! So instead of a typical "news of the week" episode, Marques shares some of our favorite moments from a few of the many amazing guests that we've been lucky enough to have on the podcast! Whether you're a new listener, missed some of the interview episodes, or just want to revisit some thought-provoking conversations, this one is for you. Hopefully we'll all be back in the studio next week and can make a regular episode, but we hope you enjoy this one as well!Shop the merch:https://shop.mkbhd.comTwitters:Waveform: https://twitter.com/wvfrmMarques: https://twitter.com/mkbhdAndrew: https://twitter.com/andymanganelliAdam: https://twitter.com/adamlukas17Ellis: https://twitter.com/EllisRovinInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/wvfrmpodcast/Join the Discord:https://discord.gg/mkbhdMusic by 20syl:https://bit.ly/2S53xlCWaveform is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

This week, Marques and Andrew sit down with Hasan Minhaj! They discuss everything from fantasy basketball to whether or not artificial intelligence can create art. There are a lot of upsides to new technologies, but there are also some serious negative aspects of technology that are worth discussing (hence this 2-hour long conversation). Despite all the downsides, Marques sheds some light on how he thinks about technology and continues to stay optimistic about the future.
