  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="https://muddy-cup-coffee-house-beechview.business.site/"&gt;Muddy Cup&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.SliceOnBroadway.com"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;
The gang's all here as Dudders, Chilla and Sorg talk about this week in tech news, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing his recent &lt;a href="https://www.oculus.com/go/?locale=en_US"&gt;Oculus experience&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is sharing &lt;a href="https://replayfx.org/"&gt;Replay FX&lt;/a&gt; as her Awesome Thing of the Week!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Couldn't make it out to Replay FX? They had some livestream. Chilla is sharing how he got to experience the weekend through video!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is his upgraded &lt;a href="https://www.automatic.com/"&gt;Automatic connected car assistant&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Did you know RedBull has a magazine? We didn't either - but what we DID find out was about &lt;a href="https://www.si.com/more-sports/2019/08/01/ninja-leaves-twitch-stream-mixer?xid=socialflow_facebook_si&amp;amp;utm_campaign=sportsillustrated&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=facebook.com&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR3SASqNerZ7C4OdHTUjPMmhE7CnOY1N3ozvj9wQYO6L4tymfHbOjpEuz8c"&gt;Ninja leaving Twitch&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Thanks to the Ninja news, Sorg and Chilla are examining their own gameplay styles.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/french-bird-man-franky-zapata-successfully-crosses-english/story?id=64763747&amp;amp;cid=social_twitter_abcn"&gt;Flyboard is a go&lt;/a&gt; - across the English Channel with Franky Zapata.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Disney, Hulu, and ESPN are coming together with a &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/08/06/disney-hulu-espn-bundle-price/"&gt;streaming video bundle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Facebook and Instagram &lt;a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sextech-startups-dame-unbound-protest-facebook-ad-censorship-2019-7"&gt;ad censorship&lt;/a&gt; leads to a protest - - by a sex tech startup.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/05/the-matrix-returns-to-theaters-august-30th/"&gt;The Matrix is returning to theaters&lt;/a&gt; with Dolby Vision and Atmos!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-is-going-to-kill-your-dash-button/#"&gt;Amazon dash button&lt;/a&gt; is going away.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Squad is an anti-bro &lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/06/squad-the-anti-bro-startup/"&gt;screen sharing and chat app&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
