WTF Happened in 2025 - Waveform Rewind

It's the last regularly scheduled episode of the year and the gadgets just keep coming! Marques, Andrew, and David get right into the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold before talking about a new Instagram app and a new AI feature coming soon to a Gmail near you! After that, it's all about the EV world with discussion turning to the discontinuation of the Ford F-150 Lightning and then a quick recap on Rivian's Autonomy day. We close it out by recapping some of our best and worst predictions from last year. It's a chaotic one this week. Enjoy!
