Marvel delays, Steam bans crypto, and facial recognition in schools- TNCS Ep 180

This week we recap the biggest nerd news in both entertainment and tech.  In entertainment, we discuss Marvel delaying all 2022 movies, Y the Last Man getting canceled, and crypto being banned from Steam. In tech, we discuss facial recognition being used at schools in the UK and some AI systems used in diagnosing genetic issues in newborns.
