Connecting the Dots - 5-7-2025

Today we cover a snapshot of current events and tech news. Information includes a weather summary with predictions for heavy rain, flooding, and potential thunderstorms, as well as a stock market update. Two topics are covered in more detail: Patreon's recent iOS app update allowing US users to bypass Apple's in-app purchase fees for new memberships and Amazon's Zoox recalling driverless vehicles after a crash in Las Vegas, attributing it to a software issue. Finally, reports indicate that Apple Watch sales experienced a significant global decline in 2024 for the second consecutive year, primarily due to a lack of new features and updated models.
