Tenet review, PUBG ban, Patriot Act ruling, and Jetpacks- TNCS Ep 103

In this week we discuss Steve’s review of Tenet which can be read at https://thenerdcantina.com/tenet-a-spoiler-free-review/. We also discuss the latest in the entertainment news with confirmed rumors on the Game of Thrones showrunners new Netflix show.  PUBG gets banned in India and they take a big hit in the stock market.  In tech news we get a judge ruling against section 215 of the Patriot Act which has been used to massively gather cell phone data.  Hackers and the Russians go after vulnerabilities in Tesla and a new modular nuclear reactor gets approved.  There was also a possible Iron Man sighting with planes reporting a sighting of a jetpack at 3,000 ft.
