This week, we're settling down in our smart homes with the announcement of a bunch of gear supporting Matter, the new protocol that's supposed to unify the disparate Amazon, Apple, and Google ecosystems. Plus, a heaping side helping of Steam talk from the ChromeOS tests to our favorite games. It's the Android Police podcast.
Remember, we can't do this without your support. Rate, review, and subscribe wherever you listen to us as you can. Every bit helps. Thanks!
