#SGGQA 126: Chinese Tariffs Cancelled, PewDiePie Taking a Break, There Was No Phone of the Year

---

The FCC claims the Internet is an “information service” like Facebook, and Mozilla disagrees! Mozilla is appealing a court ruling to get the Internet reclassified as a telecommunication service (like phone lines). The USA is walking away from tariffs on Chinese made products. Pewdiepie is taking a break from YouTube! The New XBOX is a thing! A TALL THING! Floatplane is in beta! Should I join it?

And we’ll take a look back at the phones of 2019, and how there was absolutely no best phone of the year.

Let’s get our tech week started off right!
