From the archives! This episode was recorded on May 18th, 2020 with a live "studio" audience, as part of the WLA's Coronavirus Relief Fund! The Hidden Node Podcast was part of 13 hours of continuous podcasting, all with a live audience on Zoom. As for the delay in posting it... yeah, sorry about that. Better late than never? Some of the conversation aged super well, and some of it didn't. We hope you enjoy this grab-bag of topics from ages ago.
Joel isn't sure whether he should use Google applications on his new iPhone. Joel is about to buy a new MacBook, which at the time had just reverted from the Butterfly keyboard to the old Magic keyboard. But Joel and Nick wonder, are they on the right track by only having laptops, or should they have desktop computers as well? Also, a quick update about Nick's 3D printer.

- Fantastical
