#23 PVR SGX540, Kupfer, UBports installer, SoCs, Phone Testing II

In this episode we talk about the difficulties of automated phone testing. Again. Because Martijn has been continuously working on it. But that's just one of the segments, we cover quite a lot of different topics this time actually.

Featuring @calebccff, @ollieparanoid, @MartijnBraam (in order of appearance).
