The Morning After: Xiaomi's concept phone has almost no bezel at all

Super Bowl LV streaming tips, and a 'Too Many Cooks' remake.

Xiaomi

This weekend the Chiefs take on the Bucs in Super Bowl LV, and if you’re a cord cutter trying to watch the big game, we have all the advice needed to find a stream. The bad news is that if you’re looking for a 4K HDR feed this year you’re out of luck, as CBS isn’t providing one.

This week, Devindra and Engadget’s Managing Editor, Terrence O’Brien, chat about all of the wild movies, VR experiences and new media projects they saw at the online Sundance Film Festival. We discuss Rodney Ascher’s dive into simulation theory, A Glitch in the Matrix; the meditative tech documentary Users; and our experiences exploring VR parties.

Also, we chat about Jeff Bezos’ plan to step down as Amazon’s CEO (and why it’s terrifying that he has more time to become a supervillain), and the Apple Car rumors are finally starting to sound realistic.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts or Stitcher.
