Linus and Luke kick off by marveling at SpaceInvader One’s ErsatzTV and why YouTube couldn’t care less about “free Windows” loopholes, then dive into the joys (and pains) of de-Googling your life.

The hardware hot takes fly fast: Synology backpedals on its HDD verification policy, Logitech Pop lights get turned off, ParkMobile coughs up $1 settlements in a breach, and Qualcomm snaps up Arduino.
