b'This week kicks off with Merlin\\u2019s Bon Jovi snobbery and John\\u2019s concerns about Bono. The excellent _Vietnam War_ series is discussed and mutually endorsed.\\n\\nWith the overdue return of Ordinary Time, your hosts cover some exciting Nest IQ Cam follow-up and debate face recognition in the macOS Photos app. \\n\\nThere\\u2019s some worrisome follow-up on those iOS password pop-ups and how they could potentially be exploited by ne\\u2019er-do-wells.\\n\\nMerlin gives Jeremy five stars, which (eventually) segues into this week\\u2019s main topic, ***Automated Systems***. Specifically, the ones that Merlin thinks create way more work than they save. John says it\\u2019s just shotgun spray and probably not a big deal. Merlin\\u2019s not having it and still feels scared to check into a hotel. What algorithm makes the system freak out? Your hosts crave an interaction model even CGP Grey could love.\\n\\nThis week\\u2019s B story is ***Merlin\\u2019s New TV***. After initially telling John the wrong model (oops), your hosts dive into this new world of 4K and Ultra HD. Cables are rerouted, adapters are installed, and gyroscopes are slowly mastered. John is still holding out, and, oy vey, all these wires and bars!\\n\\nThe whites are **so** white!\\n\\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, October 10, 2017._)'
