Data center opposition became a powerful campaign issue in this week’s midterms, with several winning candidates promising restrictions. The days following the election results, tech stocks suffered their worst beating since April 2025, raising the question: Will data center restrictions slow tech adoption, or is the tech bubble finally about to pop? Plus Robert Heron is here with advice on what should shoppers look for in a deal for a new TV as the gift buying season starts to warm up. And finally our third question of the week is could and or should Google offer schools a version of google search without Gemini?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Jason Howell, Huyen Tue Dao, Robert Heron, Roger Chang, Joe.
