Now you make sure you come back here on Wednesday.

That's how long we have to wait

before we can ask the computer for more tech news.

And even then it might just be a lot of stuff about knockoff AirPods, you know.

We just kind of got to see what we get.

Listen, I don't want to babble too much before the tech news

but this video is sponsored by Babbel, spelled differently.
