    Episode 3 – RAMnarök Arrives – And Apple’s More Popular Than Ever

    Apple just raised prices across the board. MacBooks, iPhones, Vision Pro, HomePod — all of it. Tim Cook says it’s unavoidable. Component costs have never risen this fast, and they can’t shield you from it anymore. Here’s the twist — Apple is also on track for record market share in 2026. More expensive. More popular. Somehow both. And on the other side of the world, China just reclaimed the title of fastest supercomputer on the planet. First time since 2017. Built with domestic chips. No US hardware required. This is The Tech Hangout. Let’s get into it. ⏱️ Timestamps TimeTopic0:00Intro & welcome~20:51The Feed — RAMnarök pt. 2: Apple raises prices on everything (Ben)~32:07Apple set for record market share in 2026 (Marty)~37:44Instagram adds per-slide captions (Chuck)~43:09China reclaims world’s fastest supercomputer (Patrice)~49:30The Hang Jury — UK bans social media for under-16s: Bold protection or political theatre?~1:02:45The Drop 📰 The Feed — Links 💾 Apple raises prices on Mac, iPad, and more (9to5Mac) 📈 Apple set to reach record market share across three major product categories in 2026(9to5Mac) 📱 Instagram is allowing users to add captions to individual slides (Fast Company) 🖥️ China beats US with world’s fastest supercomputer (Reuters) 🎯 The Drop WhoPickMarty*The Slow Professor* by Maggie Berg & Barbara K.

    Episode 2 – RAMnarök: AI Ate the World’s RAM Supply

    Your Apple devices are about to cost more. Tim Cook confirmed it himself — a global RAM shortage is coming for your wallet. AI is eating the world’s RAM supply. Some have dubbed it RAMnarök, and there’s nothing Thor is going to be able to do about it. Meanwhile, Snap just launched a pair of AR glasses for just under $2,200. They look like something your optician’s most eccentric patient would wear. And people are already asking the question nobody at Snap wanted to hear. Big tech, big prices, big questions.

    Welcome to The Tech Hangout! 👋 This is our introduction video — a quick look at who we are, where we came from, and what we’re building here. The Tech Hangout is a live show where a group of friends gets together every week to break down the biggest stories in tech. From Apple and Android to chips, AI, big tech and beyond — we cover the full spectrum without the clickbait, the hype, or the corporate spin. We used to do this on the British Tech Network.
