  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sparkledragon.com"&gt;Sparkledragon's Magical Emporium&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;
Producer Missy and Katie are still away doing important things, so it's Sorg and Chilla holding the fort down as they talk this week in tech news, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing the &lt;a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/07/15/google-nest-hub-deal/"&gt;Google Nest / Home Hub&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg has discovered that he can ask Google to play movies on the studio TV through Chromecast!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're finding out how dedicated Sorg is to &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/nintendos-mobile-dr-mario-world-is-live-and-is-my-new-summer-addiction/"&gt;Dr. Mario World&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's ACTUAL Awesome Thing of the Week is&lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/topics/mobile-apps/best-mobile-apps-android/best-fitness-apps-for-android/"&gt; MyFitnessPal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Want a Nintendo Switch without all the bells and whistles?  Nintendo is rolling out a smaller &lt;a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/7/10/18693262/nintendo-switch-lite-price-release-date-features?fbclid=IwAR3qsFzvvNGR1mPloA7vOLq4fgl3tg3B87VkW70VZYCtPDvzlSm3hM8NeYE"&gt;Switch Lite&lt;/a&gt; version!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.inverse.com/article/57495-google-stadia-release-date-huge-disappointment?fbclid=IwAR0go5jsLekehwGI5wZpwXleqZeKbZTZjuW5lPqLhT6JKHCRhOwyQ5zfk1g"&gt;Google Stadia&lt;/a&gt; is leaving gamers underwhelmed and disappointed.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Just in time for the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch, there is an &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1462126406?fbclid=IwAR0oIi0Rt6TX1d7CIvdSu-XqRLb9P9f_TsB5HEE61EGRqIEZWVuFiGgM2pI"&gt;AR app to view the rocket in AR&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;While Katie is still on assignment, we are thinking of her as &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/ces-opens-up-to-sex-tech-products/?fbclid=IwAR3h495L_MB-yTiSg1YjplEPUDE1lqTldPAvmIviOheJ3be478_K2up4X3o"&gt;CES opens to sex tech&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Ever wanted to be a flying dinosaur? Now you have a chance with &lt;a href="https://www.aviary.org/fly"&gt;Jurassic Flight at the National Aviary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing some news about &lt;a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-is-starting-to-auto-update-windows-10-home-pro-users-on-1803-or-older-to-1903/"&gt;Windows auto updates&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/16/upgraded-pokemon-go-battles/?fbclid=IwAR0dCQyIlbUyaL3HuItFKR1Y5nyEvvye8poSk5GqzMk_kzmcxPJWlpf1Cok"&gt;Pokemon GO&lt;/a&gt; is getting some updates!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Niantic is &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/13/niantic-to-shut-down-field-trip/?utm_source=sailthru&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=the_morning_after&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR3vao_xLjA2Fo4ZTiQDwKMV_6lOwJO3VYxLAWqhqWwpCf9J2A-phJg9xME"&gt;shutting down Field Trip&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Waze has a new &lt;a href="https://gizmodo.com/wazes-new-toll-calculator-could-make-it-easier-to-plan-1836382196"&gt;toll calculator&lt;/a&gt; making it easier to plan.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/10/virgin-orbit-first-rocket-drop-test-success/?fbclid=IwAR0oPG07PuiVLZr4n6s5NBem2kwd0VGR0w6Ioj2ziQUlpNBLm6Ns4kkWnj4"&gt;Virgin Orbit&lt;/a&gt; had a successful first rocket drop test, and a real launch could happen soon!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
