Diggnation Episode 19 is part tech dispatch, part suburban diary. Kevin and Alex open with updates on sobriety, lawn mowing, and a Linux laptop built from scratch. Then it's into smart home experiments, including security cameras that yell at people a little too enthusiastically.

Digg news includes app store approvals, invite rollouts, a bot-thwarting system called the Human Captcha Project, and new plans for user-led communities. They also drop "Digg Daily," an AI-powered news podcast you can call by phone like it's 2006 again.

Other highlights include a Chinese EV promising 1000 miles per charge, some soul-searching about Tesla, a look at Polymarket’s ethical gray zones, and Chipotle being delivered by drone. Add in complaints about LA transit, the surprise return of CDs, and Google’s Pixel 10 flexing real-time translation.
