Vergecast episode 241! This week, Nilay and Dieter bring back Ross Miller and Megan Farokhmanesh to assist covering the news from this week. Snap Inc. filed for a $3 billion IPO, Apple is reportedly putting ARM chips in Macs, and Facebook is making a TV app. In between all that listen to Nilay\u2019s take on fire logs, Dieter\u2019s experience with a Zelda-themed escape room, and the wackiness of internet culture from Megan and Ross.\n\nNilay and Dieter apologized for this episode to me personally \u2014 but really, we covered a lot and had a good time so I think they\u2019re just being hard on themselves.
