The MacVoices Live! panel of Dave Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea discuss the controversial book Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, detailing internal issues at Facebook and the Streisand effect of its attempted suppression. Other topics include Apple’s patent victory, changes to the Apple Card network, and the new lossless audio feature exclusive to USB-C AirPods Max. A unique magnetic charging stand for headphones also gets a shout-out.
