Apple's March 8 event is just around the corner, and the company is rumored to announce a few new products. Valve's Steam Deck is making its way into the hands of pre-order customers and reviewers. Twitter makes its fact-checking service, Birdwatch, available to more people. Jason reviews the OnePlus Buds Z2 wireless earbuds.
- First, Rene Ritchie of YouTube.com/reneritchie stops by to give us a preview of Apple's March 8 "Peek Performance" event. The company is expected to announce a new iPhone SE, a new iPad, and some new Macs.
- Then, The Verge's Sean Hollister goes hands-on with Valve's Steam Deck handheld gaming console. Hollister discusses the features and games available on the console and shares his thoughts on its bugs and patches.
- Then, Mikah discusses Twitter's Birdwatch fact-checking service. The social media company has randomly rolled out the ability to view notes left by fact-checkers and the move sparks a conversation about tech companies asking for free labor from their users.
- Lastly, Jason reviews the OnePlus Buds Z2 wireless earbuds. For $100, the true-wireless earbuds tout quite a few features typically found in higher-cost earbuds.
