Episode #0043 – Sony Unlocks the World, Copilot Data Leak, and iOS 26 Deep Dive (Livestream from 06/16/2025)

In this episode, we kick things off with our weekly Gaming Roundtable, as Brent, Matt, Brandon, Shaun, and Jordyn share what they’ve been playing lately and what’s on their radar.

Next, we unpack Sony’s unexpected decision to remove regional restrictions from many of its PlayStation titles on PC, including Helldivers 2, God of War: Ragnarok, and Spider-Man 2. With only eight countries still blocked, we discuss the backlash, the reversal, and what this means for players around the world.

Then, we dive into a major zero-click security flaw dubbed “EchoLeak,” affecting Microsoft 365 Copilot. This vulnerability allowed attackers to exfiltrate corporate data via AI-generated markdown links—without users even clicking anything. We explore the mechanics, the response from Microsoft, and what lessons security teams should take away.

Finally, we break down the upcoming features of iOS 26, including its flashy new “Liquid Glass” UI, deep AI integration via Apple Intelligence, smarter system apps, and expanded CarPlay capabilities. Brent walks us through the changes and what Apple users can expect when the update rolls out later this year.
