Welcome to Better Offline&rsquo;s coverage of the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show - a standup radio station in the Palazzo Hotel with an attached open bar where reporters, experts and various other characters bring you the stories from the floor. In Friday&rsquo;s second episode, Ed is joined by author, activist and journalist Cory Doctorow, the Las Vegas Sun&rsquo;s Kyle Chouinard, Ed Ongweso Jr. of the Tech Bubble Newsletter, Garrison Davis of It Could Happen Here, and Robert Evans of Behind The Bastards to talk about Vegas&rsquo; reaction to CES, the useful stuff getting pushed to the fringes, the hollow nature of this year&rsquo;s CES, and an acoustic version of the Better Offline theme.
