Samsung announced new foldables including a phone with an unfolded aspect ratio that makes it wider than it is tall. Plus OpenAI released some details about how one of its agents broke out of a sandbox and hacked Hugging Face to find the solutions to a benchmark challenge. And we debate a recent Redfin poll on how Americans feel about data centers being built in their neighborhood. Finally its the end of the week and we got some Zillow game show action. Can you figure out the price before the panel does?

Digital photographer, Ant Pruitt, is here to talk about his 30-day personal photography challenge and how it made him a better photographer. Plus Netflix, ElevenLabs and the Gene Wilder estate recreated the voice of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka to use as the narrator for its new reality show “Wonka’s The Golden Ticket.” We discuss the implications and what it really means for the afterlife of well-known actors likenesses being used after their death. Sony announced it would end production of physical game discs starting in January 2028. Roger shares how he feels about losing physical game discs. And we end the week on a sweet note as we test everyone’s knowledge of SODA!
