SJ130: Foxconn-job, Alexa spies, iTunes splits, YouTube TV hikes, lawsuit crap, & a Space Grey Hole

Co-Cap'n Mike is back from sickbay, and that means the return of the Engineering Report to this all-new episode, cadets, along with a slew of rather remarkable stories! Amazon owns up to what we've all suspected -- Alexa devices record a lot of what you say, and they listen in to the good bits. Even better, they appear to have no real privacy or security policies in place for this sort of thing! Just what you want in a smart speaker. But wait, there's more!

Is iTunes gonna get broken up? Is the new Disney+ coming to Apple TV? Is Netflix mad at AirPlay? Did Apple really play a role in the imaging of a black hole? Is YouTube TV a mediocre deal? Was the Foxconn deal in Wisconsin just a scam? Are pundits just guessing? Spoiler for those last three: yes! There's also stories about India, Qualcomm, Yahoo, Pixelmator, the notorious Eastern District of Texas, the amazing T2 encoder, Cloudflare's new VPN, Lexar, Sonnet, an amazing 26-year-old prototype, gratuitous Canadian pandering and beyond! Get your Space Black steel Apple Watches on, cadets ... it will tap you on the wrist when we pass through the Event Horizon!
