Week fourteen: Google delays Android 11 beta, E3 and HBO Max

As usual we're talking about a variety of topics from the world of tech. First up, we discuss whether E3 is still the gaming event to look out for, and Google's delay of the Android 11 public beta. 

We'll also be discussing the 'anti-5G quantum machine' scams, the arrival of HBO Max and Apple's big price hike on the Macbook Pro 13.

Other topics on this week's show include our thoughts on Black Lives Matter and what more we can do to promote diversity.

Meanwhile, this week's 'Unpopular Opinions' slot is all about Command & Conquer Remastered. Do we really need a remaster of the classic real-time strategy game? You're going to have to listen to the show to find out.

For all this and more, tune into the all-new Noise Cancelling podcast – you can subscribe on Spotify, grab it on Apple podcasts, or find us wherever you get your pods. New episodes land every Friday.
