OnePlus is Dead… (In the US)

So much happened this week! First, Marques, Andrew, and David talk about everything from the new pickle emoji to OnePlus shutting down operations in the U.S. Then they get into all of the Pixel 11 color and pricing leaks before talking about Apple suing OpenAI. It all gets wrapped up with some show & tell where Marques demonstrates a new skill he learned. It's a fun one!
