Linux Matters

This week we’ve been packing boxes, getting a new mail order cat and doing a rather poor job of celebrating our 300th episode. A ridiculously expensive product has failed (surprising no-one), we’re all going to have a really bad day in 2038, new Samsung phones are lacking the headline feature of previous models and the Essential phone isn’t.
It’s Season Ten Episode Twenty-Seven of the Ubuntu Podcast! Alan Pope, Mark Johnson and Martin Wimpress are connected and speaking to your brain.
In this week’s show:

* We discuss what we’ve been up to recently:

* Mark has been packing boxes, but not these boxes.
* Alan has been playing with a new cat.


* We discuss the news:

* Urgent news for 2038
* Fans of giant non-exploding phones rejoice!
* Esstential phone is essentially irrepairable
