As always, Pritesh looked to knock past guests off the leaderboard when he stepped up to [play a round of Fake or News](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100627-fake-or-news-everythingmaxxing-hackers-pretend-to-be-bots-humanoids-clean-house) to try and tell whether ‘maxxing’ is the word of 2026, if a humanoid can clean your house, and if hackers are pretending to be bots.
