The New Screen Savers 98
VR Roller Coaster
Ride a VR roller coaster, Samsung S8, and the Apple iCloud hack.
Leo Laporte and Jason Howell discuss the new Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, DeX, and Bixby. Zack Whittaker from ZDnet makes sense of the iCloud ransom hack. What does it mean that Congress voted to remove your ISP privacy protections? Jason took a ride on a VR roller coaster, and the CEO of VR Coaster is here to talk about how this works. Catch another round of our Game of Geeks. In this edition, the contestants try to guess if crowdfunded projects are real or fake. Nathan Olivarez-Giles pitches a tent and reviews a camp stove with a built in USB charger. Jason and Leo answer your questions in Call for Help.
