Tick Tock, TikTok | The Vergecast

After more than five years of backing and forthing, secret meetings and loud screeds, it appears the fate of TikTok in the US has finally been decided. Maybe. There are still a lot of unknowns, but we’re pretty sure we know the bones of the deal — and we know which of President Trump’s allies stand to benefit the most. Before we get to all that, though, David and Jake run through some big news in future gadgets, including the long-awaited-and-maybe-happening combination of Android and ChromeOS and the possibilities for a touchscreen MacBook. Then, The Verge’s Liz Lopatto joins to talk TikTok. And Trump. And Kimmel. And more. Then, in the lightning round, the three hosts talk through Nvidia’s money problems, a surprising AmEx perk, and much more. #Technology #Podcast #Vergecast
