• Which is better, Siri or Google Assistant? In our #TWiTSwitch 2018, Megan Morrone and Jason Howell put them to the test in a battle to answer questions!
• Leo shows us Canary, a device that thwarts attackers on your network.
• Megan has a review of the Apollo Personal Cloud system. Find out if it is right for you.
