This Week in Space 189: Privatizing Orbit

Published: 2025-12-12 15:14:30

<p>This week, we talk with our favorite Newspace Buccaneer, Jeffrey Manber. When so many people were touting their private spaceflight dreams in the 1980s, Manber took the next enormous stride and actually made it happen. He formed the Office of Space Commerce within the US Department of Commerce at the invitation of the Reagan administration, forged the first commercial relations with the then-Soviet Union, bridged that into the post-USSR period, and was responsible for the first commercial spaceflight to the then-mothballed Soviet-era Mir space station with a crew that stayed there for 70 days. He then went on to develop a variety of commercial space enterprises, from the first commercial platform to release smallsats from the ISS to initiating the Bishop airlock that became part of the space station. He also started Nanoracks, the first privately developed and standardized satellite deployment mechanism to fly. Finally, he initiated Starlab, the private space station currently under development by Voyager Technologies and a consortium of aerospace companies.

For tips, we have LibrePods for better AirPod support on Linux, paru for an easier time with the Arch User Repository, and the Zork snap to celebrate this newly Open-Sourced game from yesteryear.

This Week in Space 187: An Inspired Enterprise

Published: 2025-11-21 15:39:30

<p>Were you inspired by "Star Trek" (or one of its innumerable spinoffs) as a young person? We know we were, so it was a pleasure to invite Glen Swanson, author of the new Star Trek history book "Inspired Enterprise" onto the show. We've all heard lore about the original series, but Swanson, who was previously the Chief Historian at the Johnson Space Center, used his prodigious skills to perform a deep dive into the topic. From Gene Roddenberry's original inspiration to working with Caltech, the RAND Corporation, and NASA; and on to the design of the good ship Enterprise itself (and the very popular AMT models that followed), this book provides everything you need to know to be a certified Trekker. <br /> <br /> Headlines: </p><ul> <li>Comet 3I Atlas confirmed as a comet, not a spacecraft & NASA releases new images and details of the comet</li> <li>SpaceX's Starship Version 3 booster suffers damage during test</li> <li>Uranus reaches yearly opposition—best viewing opportunity</li></ul> <p>Main Topic: The Real Inspirations Behind Star Trek</p><ul> <li>Glen Swanson shares career highlights as a NASA historian and magazine founder</li> <li>How Gene Roddenberry's background and influences shaped Star Trek</li> <li>NASA's direct involvement and technical guidance for Star Trek's creators</li> <li>The significant role of the aerospace industry, Rand Corporation, and real-world science in Star Trek's development</li> <li>The story behind NASA and the Smithsonian Enterprise shooting model connections</li> <li>AMT's plastic model kits fueled fan obsession and supported the show's visuals</li> <li>Influences from movies like Robinson Crusoe on Mars and Forbidden Planet</li> <li>Space Station K7 design's origins traced to NASA and Douglas Aircraft concepts</li> <li>Star Trek's impact on inspiring real-life astronauts and the space community</li> <li>Glen Swanson's book, "Inspired Enterprise," and how you can get a signed copy</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.glenswanson.space/" target="_blank">Glen Swanson</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>This Week in Space</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

Untitled Linux Show 229: Full Steam Ahead

<p>Valve is going to attempt the Linux trifecta, Firefox is adding more AI and people aren't happy, and the kernel is refining its own AI guidelines. FFmpeg is tired of AI generated CVEs, no matter how good they are! Rust isn't always more secure, your Ubuntu desktop can last for 15 years now, and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has some surprises. For Tips, we cover Webmin, btrfs-rescue, a function to center-print text in the terminal, and go down the rabbit-hole of detecting dual server PSUs.

This Week in Space 186: Snow on the Moon?

Published: 2025-11-14 15:14:30

<p>Snow on the moon? Yes, though not recently... but maybe billions of years ago. Recent discoveries indicate that the early moon, orbiting just 20,000 miles above our planet at the time, may have shared a dynamic magnetic field with that of the Earth, resulting in the moon having an early atmosphere about twice as dense as the Martian atmosphere is today! This has wide implications for planetary science, but perhaps our favorite is that it may have snowed both carbon dioxide and water ice on the moon back in the day. We're also talking about the amazing launch and recovery of New Glenn, the plight of the Chinese taikonauts aboard the Tiangong space station, and a recent SpaceX memo about—no surprises here—a delay to their lunar landing program for Artemis III.

The Turris Omnia NG is a compelling Linux router, RDSEED has a bit of a problem on AMD Zen 5, and Mozilla drops the ball with AI translations. There's some weird security stories to cover in Open Office and the Linux kernel, and Gnome has dropped its X11 back-end.

This Week in Space 185: Gutting Goddard

Published: 2025-11-07 14:44:30

<p>As you may or may not know, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is in the administration's crosshairs. With cuts to their budget and staffing beginning under Elon Musk's DOGE, it has taken a different form with the government shutdown. Employees furloughed or retired from critical programs, laboratories shuttered, and entire facilities gutted--all without the approval of Congress. By the time the shutdown is over, NASA's primary research center--and the one most responsible for what many are now calling "the C-word," climate science--will be a shell of its former self. Josh Dinner, who recently completed a months-long investigative report, joins us. Also: Jared Isaacman is back in the running as NASA chief, the 25th anniversary of the ISS, and China now working with the US on orbital dangers. <br /> <br /> Headlines: </p><ul> <li>Trump Renominates Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, Sparking Political Drama</li> <li>25 Years of Continuous Astronaut Presence on the International Space Station</li> <li>China Initiates Rare Satellite Collision Avoidance With NASA</li> <li>Apollo-Era Radio Telescope That Spied on Soviet Satellites Up for Sale</li> <li>Mars ESCAPADE Missions Twin Probes Prepare for Launch on New Glenn Rocket</li></ul> <p>Main Topic: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Crisis</p><ul> <li>Goddard Hit by Accelerated Building Closures and Funding Cuts</li> <li>NASA Employees and Lawmakers Accuse Agency Leadership of Breaking the Law</li> <li>Climate Science and Political Motives at the Core of Goddard's Struggles</li> <li>Union Power Stripped After NASA's Reclassification as National Security Agency</li> <li>High-Profile Missions Like Hubble, the Nancy Roman Space Telescope, and LISA Facing Uncertainty</li> <li>Loss of Talent and Institutional Knowledge Threatens Future Space Projects</li> <li>Congress and the Public Urged to Support, But Outlook Remains Grim</li> <li>Could New Leadership Reverse the Changes Brought to Goddard, or Reinforce Goddard's Decline?</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.joshdinner.com/" target="_blank">Josh Dinner</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>This Week in Space</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

Windows Weekly 957: Selectively Transparent

Published: 2025-11-05 11:32:03

<p>We've heard that Microsoft will go off script this year with a 26H1 release of Windows 11 specifically aimed at Snapdragon X2-based PCs, as it did with the early release of 24H2 last year for the first-generation Snapdragon X. Also, Microsoft's latest earnings call left analysts baffled as execs dodged questions about multibillion-dollar AI losses and the real story behind OpenAI's ballooning deficit.<p>26H1!</p><ul> <li>Now confirmed by the release notes of a Windows Update</li> <li>And the Dev channel will soon switch over to 26H1 testing, with Beta moving to 25H2 (from 24H2)</li> <li>Expectations?

<p>This week SUSE's SLES and Red Hat's RHEL are embracing AI in the form of MCP and CUDA support.

This Week in Space 183: Lunar Lander Wanted! Apply Within

Published: 2025-10-24 16:06:29

<p>Lander, lander, who's got the lander? Last week, acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy announced that the agency would be re-opening the contract for the Artemis III lunar lander, which had previously been let to SpaceX to be fulfilled by their Starship Human Landing System. Unfortunately, that effort is well behind schedule, and the Trump administration has made landing astronauts on the moon, before China does, a national priority. With multiple refuelings and landing tests required, there is concern that SpaceX may not be able to fulfill their commitment before China's announced landing date of 2030. Elon Musk responded to the announcement with characteristic tack, with phrasing like "Sean Dummy" and him having a two-digit IQ.

But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge.<ul> <li>The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative.</li></ul></li> <li>Software? It's all free.<ul> <li>Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time.</li> <li>Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too.</li> <li>Want Spotlight?

Tech News Weekly 385: Wikipedia's AI Strategy Explained

Published: 2025-05-01 15:59:30

<p>In this episode of Tech News Weekly, Mikah Sargent and Abrar Al-Heeti explore the growing role of AI in consumer tech, the latest legal setback for Apple's App Store policies, and two in-depth interviews: Bloomberg's Leah Nylen breaks down the DOJ's proposed remedies in the antitrust case against Google, and Wikimedia's Leila Zia shares the foundation's new AI strategy that centers humans—not machines.</p><ul> <li><strong>ChatGPT Adds Shopping Tools:</strong> Abrar Al-Heeti highlights OpenAI's new AI-powered shopping experience in ChatGPT, which personalizes product recommendations and integrates purchase links—all without leaving the chat window. She and Mikah explore the implications for consumer trust, affiliate marketing, and the future of Amazon and Google as default shopping destinations.</li> <li><strong>Apple vs. Epic: Court Strikes Back:</strong> Mikah breaks down a dramatic new ruling against Apple, in which a judge found the company in violation of a 2021 injunction and imposed strict limits on how it can control third-party payments. Mikah and Abrar discuss how this could reshape the App Store's fee model and what it means for developers and users alike.</li> <li><strong>Google's Antitrust Remedy Phase:</strong> Bloomberg antitrust reporter Leah Nylen returns to unpack the latest in the DOJ's case against Google. She explains the three proposed remedies—including a possible Chrome browser divestiture—and what testimony from tech competitors like DuckDuckGo, Perplexity, and OpenAI revealed about Google's dominance in search and AI.</li> <li><strong>Wikipedia's Human-Centered AI Strategy:</strong> Leila Zia, Head of Research at the Wikimedia Foundation, outlines their new AI roadmap, which focuses on supporting Wikipedia's volunteer editors rather than replacing them. She details how AI will assist with moderation, multilingual knowledge expansion, and mentorship—all while upholding values of transparency and human agency.</li></ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/abrar-al-heeti">Abrar Al-Heeti</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/AVvaSJbjmc4/leah-nylen" target="_blank">Leah Nylen</a> and <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/profile/leila-zia" target="_blank">Leila Zia</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Tech News Weekly</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

This Week in Space 149: SpaceX, Moon Missions, and Killer Asteroids?

Published: 2025-02-21 15:59:30

<p>In this episode of This Week in Space, hosts Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik discuss the latest space news, including a potentially hazardous asteroid, SpaceX's plans to launch and land in the Bahamas, and the ongoing debate surrounding the retirement of the International Space Station. They also touch on NASA's budget cuts, the search for extraterrestrial life, and the development of new radiation protection technology for deep space missions.</p> <p>- Asteroid 2024 YR4: While initially considered a potential threat, the chances of this asteroid impacting Earth have significantly decreased as more data has been collected. Rod and Tariq discuss the changing odds and the importance of tracking near-Earth objects.</p> <p>- NASA budget cuts: The hosts discuss the proposed 20% budget cut for the James Webb Space Telescope and its potential impact on the groundbreaking observatory's operations and scientific output.</p> <p>- Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Moon lander: Launched weeks ago, the lander is now in lunar orbit and scheduled to land on or about March 2nd, carrying 10 experiments to Mare Crisium. With several other lunar missions on the horizon, including those from Intuitive Machines and Japan's iSpace, the hosts discuss the exciting developments in the new lunar exploration era.</p> <p>- SpaceX in the Bahamas: Elon Musk's company is in talks with the Bahamian government about launching and landing rights. The hosts speculate on the reasons behind this move and its potential implications for future missions.</p> <p>- The retirement of the ISS: Elon Musk suggests de-orbiting the station as soon as possible and to press on to Mars, while others argue for maintaining it until suitable replacements are ready.</p> <p>- "Stranded" astronauts controversy: The hosts address the recent claims that astronauts Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore were "stranded" or "abandoned" on the ISS due to political motives. They clarify the situation and express their disappointment with the misleading narrative.</p> <p>- Radiation shielding technology: The development of 3D-printed hydrogels offers a promising solution for protecting astronauts from harmful radiation during deep space missions. The hosts explore the potential applications and benefits of this innovative technology.</p> <p>- Search for Extraterrestrial Life: The COSMIC project, working with the Very Large Array telescope, has been using advanced computer processing to seek out focused radio transmissions that might indicate the presence of alien civilizations. While no signals of interest have been found yet, the search continues, and the project serves as a valuable educational tool for aspiring radio astronomers.</p> <p>- NASA workforce reduction: While NASA has not yet implemented the anticipated workforce reduction, the hosts discuss the potential impact of such cuts on the agency's future and the importance of maintaining a skilled workforce in the face of increasing competition from China.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>This Week in Space</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

Tech News Weekly 375: Apple's New iPhone 16e

Published: 2025-02-20 15:19:30

<p>In this episode, Mikah Sargent is joined by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of The Verge to discuss NVIDIA's work on an AI platform for American Sign Language and her review of the Skylight Calendar Max. Zac Hall of 9to5Mac talks about the new iPhone 16e, and Scott Stein of CNET discusses the end of the Humane AI Pin.</p> <p>- NVIDIA is collaborating with the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday to develop Signs, an online platform that uses AI to help people practice and understand American Sign Language. The platform aims to create a validated dataset to account for variations in signing and provide real-time feedback to learners.</p> <p>- Jennifer reviews the Skylight Calendar Max, a 27-inch digital touchscreen display for managing family schedules. She finds the AI-powered Sidekick feature, which can parse various data formats to create calendar events, to be incredibly useful and a potential glimpse into the future of AI in smart home devices.</p> <p>- Zac Hall discusses the newly announced iPhone 16e, which replaces the iPhone SE 3 and iPhone 14. Priced at $599, it offers a modern design with Face ID and an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence features, making it a compelling upgrade for those with older iPhones.</p> <p>- The Humane AI pin is being sold to HP for $116 million, and users will lose access to its services on February 28th, 2025, with no recourse or refunds for most customers. Scott Stein shares his experience reviewing the AI pin, its shortcomings, and his thoughts on the future of AI-augmented devices and their relationship with smartphones.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jennifer-pattison-tuohy">Jennifer Pattison Tuohy</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://x.com/apollozac" target="_blank">Zac Hall</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/jetscott" target="_blank">Scott Stein</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Tech News Weekly</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

This Week in Space 148: Clavius Base

Published: 2025-02-14 15:44:30

<p>Clavius. The very mention of this vast lunar crater brings to mind spectacular images from "2001: A Space Odyssey"— landing spacecraft, alien monoliths, and more. But more immediately, Clavius may be the ideal place to build our first lunar base, and Dr. Pascal Lee rejoins us to explain why. Notably, Clavius is not on NASA's dance card as a first-siting consideration but Lee thinks it should be, for many reasons, including interesting lunar geology, possible sites for permanent settlements—including lava tubes, excellent prospects for transportation infrastructure, and much more. Join us for a fascinating look at the near future at Clavius Base!</p> <p>Headlines:<br /> • Blue Origin lays off 10% of its workforce to shift focus to operational flights and Moon lander<br /> • NASA alters Vera Rubin Observatory biography of namesake astronomer Vera Rubin to remove mentions of her advocacy for women in science, amid the Trump administration push to eliminate DEI references <br /> • Beautiful iridescent clouds captured on Mars by the Curiosity rover<br /> • Northern Lights visible on Valentine's Day due to coronal hole triggering geomagnetic storm</p> <p>Main Topic - Lunar Base at Crater Clavius:<br /> • Dr. Pascal Lee proposes establishing a lunar base at the crater Clavius near the Moon's south pole<br /> • Clavius offers key advantages: on the near side of the Moon, geologically diverse, open flat spaces for landing/expansion, access to pits and lava tubes<br /> • Clavius is better suited for a long-term base compared to the harsh environment right at the lunar south pole<br /> • The base would be powered by nuclear reactors; solar considered insufficient for larger bases<br /> • Water ice mining at lunar poles may not be economically viable; estimates require excavating huge amounts of regolith to obtain useful quantities of water<br /> • NASA seems to have concerns about south pole plans; the decision was likely driven more by geopolitical factors than science or engineering <br /> • Building a base at Clavius could inspire the public as life imitates art, echoing the site's depiction in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey<br /> • Desert locations on Earth like Atacama or Sahara could provide ideal locations for field testing lunar mobility systems</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="http://www.pascallee.net/" target="_blank">Pascal Lee</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>This Week in Space</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

Tech News Weekly 373: AI Wins a Grammy

Published: 2025-02-06 15:19:30

<p>In this episode of Tech News Weekly, Mikah Sargent and CNET's Abrar Al-Heeti talk the latest developments in self-driving tech, Sonos' work on a new streaming box, an AI-assisted Beatles song winning a Grammy, and the current state of Meta's Quest platform according to developers.</p> <p>- Uber is expanding its partnership with Waymo, allowing people in Austin to summon a Waymo robo-taxi through the Uber app. Abrar shares her experiences with self-driving cars and discusses the evolving relationship between Uber and Waymo.</p> <p>- Sonos is reportedly working on a new streaming box codenamed "Pinewood," which includes an HDMI switch to address inconsistencies in smart TV firmware and software. The device is expected to cost between $200 and $400, and it aims to provide a full-featured streaming sound setup.</p> <p>- An AI-assisted Beatles track, "Now and Then," won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance, sparking conversations about the role of AI in music and art. The US Copyright Office has stated that AI tools used to assist in the creative process don't undermine the copyright of the work.</p> <p>- Developers are struggling with declining sales and visibility on the Meta Quest app store, despite record revenue for Meta Reality Labs. Meta's focus on its own Horizon Worlds app seems to be at the expense of traditional VR games. Some developers find it more profitable to sell on other platforms like Steam and PlayStation VR.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/abrar-al-heeti">Abrar Al-Heeti</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Tech News Weekly</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p><strong>Join Club TWiT for Ad-Free Podcasts!</strong><br /> Support what you love and get ad-free shows, a members-only Discord, and behind-the-scenes access.

This Week in Space 145: We're Star Bound!

Published: 2025-01-24 15:34:30

<p>This week, we're talking to the authors of a new book about spaceflight called "Star Bound: A Beginner's Guide to the American Space Program, from Goddard's Rockets to Goldilocks Planets and Everything in Between," Emily Carney and Bruce McCandless III. Emily started the popular Facebook group Space Hipsters, now 66,000 members strong, and Bruce is a retired lawyer and space enthusiast who also happens to be the son of Bruce McCandless II, the NASA astronaut who flew on the shuttle and pioneered the use of the Manned Maneuvering Unit. We're going to cover a lot of territory in this one, so take your hand off the eject lever and strap in!</p> <p>Get "Star Bound" (Amazon Affiliate): <a href="https://amzn.to/4hvHtXo" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4hvHtXo</a></p> <p>Headlines<br /> - Trump's Mars Vision: The administration's push for a crewed Mars mission by 2029 sparks debate. Tariq notes Elon Musk's visible enthusiasm, while Rod highlights the technical and political hurdles.<br /> - NASA Leadership Shuffle: Janet Petro named interim NASA administrator, bypassing Jim Free. The move might signal potential shifts in Artemis priorities.<br /> - DEI Rollbacks: Executive orders halt NASA's diversity initiatives, sparking workforce concerns.<br /> - SpaceX Milestones: 400th Falcon 9 landing celebrated, with 60 Starlink satellites launched in a week. ULA's Vulcan launch remains delayed.<br /> - Meteorite Doorbell Footage: A meteorite impact in Canada, captured on camera, stuns scientists and homeowners.<br /> - Quirky Moon Naming: IAU dubs a quasi-moon "Cardea" after the Roman goddess of door hinges.</p> <p>Main Topic: Star Bound<br /> - Book Overview: A cultural history of the U.S. space program, connecting missions like Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab to societal shifts (e.g., civil rights movements). Authors Emily Carney and Bruce McCandless III emphasized accessibility, avoiding "engineer-speak."<br /> - Skylab's Legacy: Emily's passion shines as she details Skylab's role as a bridge between Apollo and the Shuttle, citing the groundbreaking science performed and how it may help us send humans to Mars.<br /> - MMU & Bruce McCandless II: Bruce shares stories of his father's iconic untethered flight with the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), suggesting that future missions may revive jetpack tech for tourism and repairs.<br /> - Shuttle Era Love/Hate: Both guests defend the Shuttle's cultural impact (e.g., Judy Resnik's inspiring legacy) while acknowledging its flaws.<br /> - Conspiracy Corner: The duo laughs over wild theories (STS-1 being flown by clones; Neil Armstrong being a robot) and praises Rod's 2016 book "Amazing Stories of the Space Age" for documenting Project Orion's nuclear explosive propulsion tech.<br /> - Future of Space: The book ends at today's "precipice"—Artemis delays, Mars hype, and private ventures.

Hands-On Tech 199: Managing Spam Emails

Published: 2025-01-19 13:59:30

<p>On Hands-On Tech, Mikah helps Lars, who is seeking help for a friend who is being flooded with spam emails and is looking for a way to filter out the spam emails!</p><ul> <li>Mikah strongly recommends transitioning away from ISP-provided email addresses, as they often get shuffled between companies and can face service disruptions</li> <li>There are also some options to consider when moving from an old email account, such as setting up auto-responses directing to the new address or configuring your new email account to pull from your old account.</li> <li>Mikah suggests two things to do. The first is to create a Gmail account to leverage its excellent spam filtering capabilities, then configure it to pull mail from the Cox address and connect it to Outlook.</li> <li>The second option is to use local spam filtering software like Mailwasher, which offers Bayesian filtering that learns from user input to improve spam detection over time.</li> <li>Other software options to consider are Spambully, Spamfighter, and clean.io, though some may not work without MX record access.</li></ul> <p>Read the official <a href="https://twit.tv/posts/tech/hands-tech-goes-back-club-twit" target="_blank">blog post</a> about the change to Hands-On Tech.</p> <p>Send in your questions for Mikah to answer! hot@twit.tv</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Hands-On Tech</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech">https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech</a></p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

This Week in Space 144: The Great Lunar Armada

Published: 2025-01-17 14:34:30

<p>2025 is the year that introduces the Great Lunar Armada!

Hands-On Tech 198: Connecting An iPad to an Android Smart Home

Published: 2025-01-12 14:14:30

<p>In this episode of Hands-On Tech, Mikah Sargent tackles a unique smart home dilemma from a viewer named John, who runs his home automation through Android while his wife uses Apple devices. John wants to know if he can use an old iPad as a home hub to give his wife easier access to their home's smart features, like thermostats, greenhouse controls, and outlets, without having to go through his phone.</p><ul> <li>Android-first setup is actually advantageous, as it means devices are already configured independently rather than being locked into Apple's HomeKit ecosystem</li> <li>For HomeKit-compatible devices, adding them to the wife's iPhone/iPad is as simple as scanning the HomeKit codes in Apple's Home app</li></ul> <p>Some suggested approaches for the iPad hub:</p><ul> <li>Use as a portable control panel that can move between rooms</li> <li>Mount it permanently as a dedicated control center using a device such as elago's Home Hub Mount, which allows for clean cable management.</li> <li>Mikah recommends using Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) as a powerful third-party solution that works with more devices than just HomeKit or Google Home, has robust automation capabilities, and has apps for multiple platforms, making it accessible to both users.</li> <li>Mikah also emphasizes the importance of "smart," which means proactive automation, giving examples like automatic fan control based on humidity sensor readings, proximity-based lighting control, and custom scenes triggered by pressure sensors.</li></ul> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Hands-On Tech</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech">https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech</a></p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

This Week in Space 143: King Starship

Published: 2025-01-10 15:59:30

<p>Coming into 2025, we have six flights of SpaceX's Starship behind us, with a possibility for as many as 25 tests supported by the FAA license for this year. This is also the year we need to see an orbital test, payloads carried, orbital refueling, and hopefully catches of both the Booster and Ship, and progress toward an uncrewed test landing on the moon. So much to discuss, so join Tariq, Rod, and ace space reporter Leonard David as we deep dive into King Starship!</p> <p>Headlines:<br /> • Wildfires near NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, have displaced many employees and caused the facility to shut down temporarily, but the lab itself remains untouched.<br /> • NASA is considering two options for the Mars Sample Return mission, both under $8 billion, with a launch planned by 2035-2039.<br /> • Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society and former host of "Bill Nye the Science Guy," was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his dedication to science education and space exploration advocacy.</p> <p>Main Topic - SpaceX Starship in 2025:<br /> • SpaceX plans to ramp up Starship test flights in 2025, with up to 25 launches scheduled throughout the year.<br /> • Starship test flight 7, scheduled for January 13th, will feature a new Starship design with enhanced flaps, a new flight computer, and other upgrades.<br /> • The goal of Starship is to serve as a reusable, heavy-lift launch vehicle capable of carrying up to 100 people and 100 metric tons of cargo to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.<br /> • SpaceX is rapidly iterating on the Starship design, with stated plans to build new Starships in a single day and test new features on each flight.<br /> • While Starship's development has been impressive, questions remain about its life support systems, radiation protection, and interior design for crewed missions.<br /> • A discussion of the potential impact of Starship on NASA's Artemis program and the future of space exploration, including the possibility of using Starship as a space station or for Mars missions.<br /> • The conversation also touches on the challenges facing NASA, including aging infrastructure and the need for greater collaboration with the private sector, as highlighted in a recent report by the National Academies.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.leonarddavid.com/" target="_blank">Leonard David</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>This Week in Space</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

Published: 2025-01-09 16:29:30

<p>This week on Tech News Weekly, host Mikah Sargent is joined by guest co-host Dan Moren to discuss Siri privacy concerns and how Apple could leverage AI to improve the user experience. Jason Hiner of ZDNET.com reports on CES 2025 on the latest TV displays, NVIDIA's AI innovations, and more. Then Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, weighs in on Meta's controversial decision to end fact-checking on its platforms.</p><ul> <li>Dan's latest column explores how Apple could use AI to benefit users by improving spam filtering, search capabilities, and automation. Implementing these features would align with Apple's focus on simplifying technology.</li> <li>Apple released a statement clarifying that Siri recordings are not being used to build ad profiles, despite an ongoing conspiracy theory that devices are always listening. In reality, ad targeting is based on online behavior.</li> <li>At CES 2025, new TV display technologies were announced including brighter OLED panels likely using "tandem OLED" and a new mini-LED backlight system from Hisense for improved color depth. </li> <li>Lenovo showcased an expensive laptop prototype with a screen that rolls up to double in size, though it may have limited practical appeal for now.</li> <li>NVIDIA unveiled COSMOS, an AI framework to generate synthetic training data for robots and self-driving systems, which could accelerate future autonomous innovations. </li> <li>Offbeat CES products included an electric spoon that makes low-sodium foods taste saltier to promote healthier eating, and aggressively priced TVs from TCL.</li> <li>Meta announced it will end fact-checking and rely on community moderation, which CCDH CEO Imran Ahmed argues will amplify the spread of misinformation and cause real-world harms.</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> and <a href="https://dmoren.com/" target="_blank">Dan Moren</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://x.com/jasonhiner" target="_blank">Jason Hiner</a> and <a href="https://counterhate.com/" target="_blank">Imran Ahmed</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Tech News Weekly</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://www.veeam.com/?utm_source=twit.tv&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=brand-campaign&utm_content=tnw" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">veeam.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://uscloud.com" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">uscloud.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://Melissa.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Melissa.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

Hands-On Tech 197: Stop Your TV from Turning On by Itself

Published: 2025-01-05 14:29:30

<p>Mikah addresses a listener question about why their TCL TV and cable box sometimes turn on automatically after a power outage. He explains the likely causes and offers troubleshooting tips. Mikah also shares an important follow-up from a previous episode about internet speeds and the limitations of the Apple TV 4K's Ethernet port.</p> <p>Main Topic:<br /> • Richard asks why his TCL TV and cable box sometimes turn on by themselves after brief power outages<br /> • Mikah explains that TCL TVs have a "Fast TV Start" feature that keeps the TV in a powered-on state to maintain network connections, causing it to turn back on when power is restored<br /> • HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows devices to communicate and control each other, which may cause the cable box to turn on when the TV powers on<br /> • Mikah advises checking the TV and cable box settings for features like Fast TV Start, sleep/hibernation modes, and HDMI-CEC to adjust the behavior<br /> • Many smart home devices, such as lights and robot vacuums, also have auto-on features that should be configured to prevent unexpected behavior after power outages</p> <p>Follow-up:<br /> • Thomas points out that in a previous episode (195), the Apple TV 4K used to test internet speeds has a maximum throughput of about 990 Mbps due to its Gigabit Ethernet port<br /> • For the listener (Ross) to accurately test their 2.5 Gbps internet speed, they should ensure their Mac supports the full 2.5 Gbps that the adapter provides<br /> • The Apple TV 4K's Wi-Fi 6 support may allow for faster speeds than its Ethernet port, depending on the router and environment</p> <p>Don't forget to send in your questions for Mikah to answer during the show! hot@twit.tv</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Hands-On Tech</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech">https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech</a></p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

This Week in Space 138: From the Garage to Mars

Published: 2024-11-22 16:14:30

<p>On this week's episode, Tariq and I speak with Scott Tibbitts, a dynamic and engaging space entrepreneur who spun $7 of hardware store parts into a 150-person, multimillion-dollar space company making tech for NASA that allowed deep space probes, starting with the Cassini mission to Saturn, to operate in the harsh environment of the outer solar system. Scott's tiny actuator replaced expensive, failure-prone explosive squibs with a device that could be tested (you can't really test something that goes *bang*), cycled, and tried again if it didn't work the first time.

This Week in Space 136: SpaceX Ascendant

Published: 2024-11-08 15:44:30

<p>At this point, can anyone compete with SpaceX? Love him or hate him, Elon Musk and his cadre of very talented employees and partners have built the most remarkable launch service in history, increasing the US launch rate from a handful to over 100 per year in less than a decade. Eric Berger--Senior Space Editor at Ars Technica and author of "Liftoff" and "Reentry," two books about Musk and SpaceX--joins us. We discuss the rise of SpaceX, Musk's future in US politics and the market, and what to expect from SpaceX in the next decade. We also look at the possible competitors to SpaceX's dominance in the market. Join us!</p> <p>Get "Reentry" (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/4fe4f5s</p> <p>Headlines:<br /> - The 2024 US presidential election results are in, with Donald Trump set to become the 47th President. Trump has shown a keen interest in space, name-dropping Elon Musk, SpaceX, and Starlink during his victory speech.<br /> - SpaceX conducted its first ISS reboost mission using a Dragon cargo ship, showcasing a new capability for the company.<br /> - NASA issued a statement addressing tabloid rumors about astronaut Sunita Williams' health, affirming that all astronauts aboard the ISS are in good health and undergo routine medical evaluations.</p> <p>Main Topic - SpaceX Ascendant:<br /> - The Trump administration is expected to embrace SpaceX's Starship vision, potentially fast-tracking the company's progress by reducing regulatory hurdles.<br /> - SpaceX has a significant lead in the space industry, with no other company having achieved reusable rocket technology. The closest competitors are Blue Origin and Chinese companies, which are still years behind.<br /> - The US government has become increasingly reliant on SpaceX for launches, satellite internet, and the Artemis program, with no viable alternatives currently available.<br /> - SpaceX's success can be attributed to Elon Musk's relentless drive and vision to make humanity a multi-planetary species, as well as the company's willingness to take risks and innovate.<br /> - Starship is seen as the key to making widespread space access possible, with the potential to drastically reduce the cost of space travel and enable missions to Mars.<br /> - The future of space exploration is uncertain, with the potential for significant changes under the new administration and Elon Musk's growing influence as an advisor to the President.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://x.com/sciguyspace" target="_blank">Eric Berger</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://uscloud.com" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">uscloud.com</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 133: Red Moon Rising

Published: 2024-10-18 15:44:30

<p>This week, we're taking a broad look at the progress of America's Artemis lunar landing program, space science in general, and the challenges to Western space plans posed by a fast-rising Chinese space program. Joining us is the uniquely qualified Dr. Greg Autry--the Associate Provost for Space Commercialization and Strategy at the University of Central Florida, visiting Professor at Imperial College London, former NASA transition team member, and author of "Red Moon Rising." We'll also highlight the recent launch of SpaceX's Starship and the amazing catch of the booster by the Mechazilla Launch tower, Michael Bloomberg's recent article condemning the slow progress of the Artemis program, and this weekend's Orionids meteor shower!</p> <p>Headlines:<br /> - SpaceX's successful Starship flight test 5, featuring the Super Heavy booster's impressive catch by the "Mechazilla" tower<br /> - Michael Bloomberg's critical op-ed on the SLS rocket and the Artemis program, highlighting delays and overspending<br /> - The upcoming Orionids meteor shower, peaking on October 21st, 2024, and the Hunter's Moon, the biggest supermoon of the year</p> <p>Main Topic - The State of the US Space Program with Greg Autry:<br /> - Greg's lifelong passion for space was ignited by watching Apollo missions as a child; he later got involved in the commercial space industry and served on the NASA transition team in 2016<br /> - US human spaceflight is in both the best and worst of times - there is bipartisan support for Artemis and returning to the Moon, but the program is behind schedule and over budget on almost every element<br /> - Lack of top-level political leadership and sense of urgency compared to the Apollo era is hurting Artemis' progress; the US needs a leader willing to provide direction and funding, and hold people accountable <br /> - Competition with China could help spur the US, but the public may not be as motivated as during the Cold War; still, it's important for the US to get back to the Moon first to initiate fair use of resources<br /> - Artificial intelligence will play a critical role in future space operations, especially on Mars and the Moon; AI can enable more flexible and capable spacecraft<br /> - The US needs to rebuild its aerospace manufacturing and production workforce to execute ambitious space goals; STEM education and hands-on skills are lacking<br /> - In 10 years, Autry hopes to see a diverse on-orbit ecosystem with compatible, specialized vehicles; regular Moon missions laying the groundwork for resource extraction; and an influential space tourism industry<br /> - He believes that a dual-track lunar architecture with both Starship and a more conventional system for redundancy would be wise; Starship is great but very complex with many potential failure points, especially in a lunar mission that requires multiple refueling flights and a crewed SLS launch in close timing<br /> - Greg is the Associate Provost for Space Commercialization and Strategy at the University of Central Florida and is standing up new academic programs to train the next generation of commercial space workforce<br /> - His book "Red Moon Rising" examines the history of the space industry, China's space ambitions, and the current state of play - an engaging read for anyone interested in space</p> <p>Get "Red Moon Rising": <a href="https://amzn.to/3YxmJab" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3YxmJab</a></p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.gregautry.us/" target="_blank">Dr. Greg Autry</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

This Week in Space 132: Living in Martian Mushrooms

Published: 2024-10-11 16:29:30

<p>This week, we're diving deep into some really clever and cutting-edge tech for Martian habitats... made from fungus! Dr. Lynn Rothschild of the NASA Ames Research Center has been working for years on how mushroom mycelia might be utilized as a habitat-building resource. It's quite fascinating--the organic material can be used to make bricks, to create shaped structures, and even to create an "astropharmacy" to supply certain compounds needed by the crew of a Mars excursion! And it is sufficiently enticing that NASA's NIAC innovation program has given her no less than five grants (which are not easy to get!) to study the possibilities. Join us for this really engaging and blue-sky conversation!</p> <p>Headlines:<br /> • ISS has been experiencing a slow air leak, increasing from 0.2 pounds per day to 3.7 pounds per day, causing concern for NASA's Office of the Inspector General<br /> • Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been shrinking and "pulsing" over time, as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, with scientists predicting it will eventually stabilize as a smaller, circular storm<br /> • A rare G4-class solar storm triggered widespread auroras visible at much lower latitudes than usual, with NOAA issuing warnings to protect power grids and communication systems</p> <p>Main Topic - Living in Martian Mushrooms:<br /> • Dr. Rothschild explains synthetic biology as creating something new with biology, either by altering existing organisms or creating new ones from scratch<br /> • The concept of using fungal mycelium for off-world habitats originated from a student project to create a biodegradable drone body<br /> • Mycotecture involves growing habitats and structures using mycelium, which can bind various materials like sand, regolith simulant, and wood chips<br /> • The properties of mycelium-based materials can be tuned by adjusting the substrate and post-processing, ranging from styrofoam-like to hardwood-like consistencies<br /> • Dr. Rothschild's vision for a stable off-world habitat includes using cyanobacteria to process atmospheric gases and minerals, which would then feed the fungi used in construction<br /> • Cross-contamination concerns on Mars are addressed, with the lack of liquid water on the surface making it unlikely for introduced organisms to thrive<br /> • Additional applications of mycelium-based technology include biomining, water filtration, and even food production<br /> • Dr. Rothschild also discusses the Astro Pharmacy project, which aims to develop an on-demand drug production system for astronauts<br /> • While these technologies have significant potential for Earth-based applications, developing them for space allows for more freedom to explore revolutionary ideas without existing infrastructure constraints</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynn-rothschild-788b84140/" target="_blank">Dr. Lynn Rothschild</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://uscloud.com" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">uscloud.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.veeam.com/?utm_source=twit.tv&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=fy24-brand-campaign&utm_content=twis" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">veeam.com</a></li> </ul></p>

Hands-On Tech 185: iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15 Pro Max

Published: 2024-10-06 15:44:30

<p>Mikah tackles your questions about iPhone shortcuts, tracking network data usage across devices, and more. He also shares his thoughts on whether it's worth upgrading to the latest iPhone 16 or going with a discounted iPhone 15.</p> <p>Topics covered:<br /> - Creating an iPhone shortcut to toggle call audio routing between speaker and automatic, possibly based on location. Mikah explains how to access the call audio routing setting and suggests using the Shortcuts app with a special URL to create a one-tap shortcut.</p> <p>- Deciding between upgrading to an iPhone 16 Pro Max vs getting a discounted iPhone 15 Pro Max. Mikah recommends going with the latest iPhone 16 for the longer-term battery life, latest features, and to avoid potential battery health issues seen in some iPhone 15 Pro models.</p> <p>- Options for monitoring data usage by device on a Linksys Velop mesh network. Mikah is surprised this router lacks data monitoring and suggests contacting Linksys to request it. Alternatives like using NextDNS for network-wide tracking or a Firewalla device are discussed.</p> <p>- Deleting old iMessage data stored in iCloud. Mikah clarifies you need to adjust the message history setting in both the Messages settings and iCloud Messages settings to fully delete old messages.</p> <p>- Follow-up on using an old Drobo device for storage. A listener shares how Drobo hardware failures combined with the company going out of business and firmware no longer being available makes continuing to use one very risky.</p> <p>Don't forget to send in your questions for Mikah to answer during the show! hot@twit.tv</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://cachefly.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">cachefly.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 131: The Star Wars vs. Star Trek Food Fight

Published: 2024-10-04 14:59:30

<p>It's a question that rivals the meaning of life itself: which is better, <em>Star Trek</em> or <em>Star Wars</em>? Of course, they are very different, and that's really the core of it--one is a sweeping fantasy adventure incorporating the "Hero's Journey," while the other is a science fantasy wrapped around a morality play. In the end, we love them both. But there is a bit of cultural (and perhaps generation) divide here, and someone has to put Tariq in his place. Join us for this civilization-shattering conversation! </p> <p>Headlines:</p><ul> <li>NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, now 12.8 billion miles from Earth, had to shut down its plasma science instrument due to power constraints. The instrument was the last of its kind still functioning on either Voyager spacecraft.</li> <li>United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully launched its second Vulcan Centaur rocket, despite an apparent nozzle failure on one of the solid rocket boosters. The rocket carried a mass simulator in place of the delayed Dream Chaser spaceplane.</li> <li>The Sun unleashed an X9.05 solar flare, the strongest directed at Earth since 2017. The resulting coronal mass ejection (CME) could potentially trigger intense auroras visible at lower latitudes this weekend.</li></ul> <p>Main Topic - Star Trek vs. Star Wars:</p><ul> <li>Rod and Tariq share their personal experiences with both franchises, discussing their first encounters with Star Trek and Star Wars and how the franchises have evolved.</li> <li>They compare the intellectual aspects of both universes, with Star Trek often focusing on morality plays and Star Wars being more of a fun, fantasy-driven space opera.</li> <li>The hosts discuss the acting in both franchises, highlighting standout performances and the impact of certain characters and actors.</li> <li>They examine the iconic spaceships from each universe, noting that Star Trek ships like the Enterprise are more recognizable and have had a more significant cultural impact compared to Star Wars ships, with the exception of the Millennium Falcon.</li> <li>Rod and Tariq argue that Star Wars has had a more significant impact on popular culture, while Star Trek has been more influential in inspiring real-life space exploration and scientific careers.</li> <li>They conclude that both franchises have their merits and have played essential roles in getting people excited about space and science fiction.</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

This Week in Space 130: Dogs on Mars, Snakes on the Moon

Published: 2024-09-27 15:59:30

<p>NASA's planetary exploration program is in trouble. The Mars Sample Return program is verging on cancellation, and the VIPER mission to the moon already has been. Both are critical precursors to human exploration of these places, as Dr. Jim Bell of Arizona State University will tell us. We need to know more about the surface of Mars--with direct, in-the-lab studies of Mars rocks--and we certainly need to understand where the volatiles--another name for water and other resources of value--are on the moon. And, if you're the US government, you'd like to do both before China does--which is likely not far off. Does it matter who achieves these things first? And specific to the US, what role might private companies and individuals play in the drama?</p> <p>Headlines:</p><ul> <li>SpaceX's Crew-9 mission is set to launch two astronauts to the International Space Station on Saturday, September 28th, with the primary objective of bringing back the Starliner astronauts who have been on the station for an extended period.</li> <li>A Seattle-based company, Iradian Aerospace, has unveiled plans for a new reusable orbital spaceplane that will utilize a revolutionary two-mile-long sled launch system.</li> <li>Earth is set to temporarily capture a small asteroid, 2024 PT5, which will remain in close proximity to our planet from September 29th to November 25th, providing scientists with an opportunity to study a near-Earth asteroid up close as it performs a de-facto flyby.</li></ul> <p>Main Topic - Discussion with Dr. Jim Bell:</p><ul> <li>Jim Bell discusses his early fascination with space exploration, inspired by the Apollo missions and Carl Sagan's acclaimed 1980s series "Cosmos," which led him to pursue a career in planetary science.</li> <li>The decadal survey process is explained, highlighting how it helps align the scientific community's priorities with NASA's mission planning and funding decisions.</li> <li>The challenges faced by the Mars Sample Return mission are discussed, with Jim expressing optimism that NASA will find a way to overcome the current budgetary hurdles and complete this groundbreaking mission.</li> <li>The cancellation of the VIPER lunar rover mission is addressed, with the hosts and guest emphasizing the importance of this mission for future human exploration of the Moon and the need for more transparency in NASA's decision-making process.</li> <li>Jim shares his perspective on the increasing involvement of commercial space companies in planetary exploration, stressing the importance of developing sustainable business models to ensure the long-term viability of these ventures.</li> <li>The conversation touches on the balance between NASA's priorities, such as the Artemis program, and the funding allocated to robotic scientific missions, with Jim highlighting the need for better communication and collaboration between the human spaceflight and robotic exploration divisions of NASA.</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Jim_Bell" target="_blank">Jim Bell</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

Published: 2024-07-12 13:59:30

<p>If you saw the movie "Gravity," you have a sense of the dangers of orbital debris—and the risk is very real. More than 25,000 objects over four inches in diameter are tracked by the US Space Force, and millions of others are smaller or untracked—everything from derelict satellites to dead rocket stages to bits of shrapnel and even just chunks of frozen rocket fuel is there. And even something the size and mass of a paint chip, traveling at orbital speeds, can take out a window of a spacecraft. We're joined by Dr. John Crassidis from the University of Buffalo, an expert in orbital debris and its dangers.

This Week in Space 118: Understanding the Darkness

Published: 2024-07-05 14:29:30

<p>For many of us, dark matter and dark energy are two of the least understood areas of cosmology and astrophysics. This week, we invited Alina Kiessling and Jason Rhodes, both Research Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, to explain these concepts and their broader implications for cosmology, exoplanet research, and more. Both of them are working on major space telescope projects to research "dark physics," as they will explain. Guest co-host Isaac Arthur asks compelling, comprehensive questions about physics and cosmology while Rod asks things like "is dark energy dangerous?" because, let's face it, someone has to ask the dumb questions. Join us for the fascinating deep dive into dark forces!</p> <p>Headlines:</p><ul> <li>Chinese rocket startup Space Pioneer accidentally launched a rocket during a static ground test, highlighting the unpredictable nature of rocketry.</li> <li>SpaceX and Jared Isaacman's Polaris Dawn mission, set for July 34th, 2024, aims to conduct the first private spacewalk and set a new orbital altitude record of 870 miles.</li> <li>NASA announced that Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is in good enough condition to stay at the International Space Station for at least 45 days despite ongoing investigations into malfunctioning thrusters and helium leaks.</li></ul> <p>Main Topic - Understanding the Darkness:</p><ul> <li>Guests Jason Rhodes and Alina Kiessling, both Research Scientists and Astrophysicists at JPL, share their backgrounds and how they met through their shared passion for cosmology.</li> <li>The universe's composition, with dark matter and dark energy making up 95% of its content.</li> <li>Exploring the history of dark matter discovery, from Fritz Zwicky's observations in the 1930s to Vera Rubin's groundbreaking work in the 1960s and 70s.</li> <li>The differences between dark matter and dark energy, their effects on the universe's structure, and the challenges in studying them.</li> <li>The "cosmological crisis" or Hubble tension, which arises from discrepancies between early and late universe measurements.</li> <li>Upcoming space telescope missions, including Euclid, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and the Vera Rubin Observatory, are highlighted as crucial tools for advancing our understanding of dark matter and dark energy.</li> <li>The potential need for new physics to explain current observations is explored, with the guests expressing excitement about the possibility of groundbreaking discoveries.</li> <li>Exoplanet research: discussing how the Roman Space Telescope will use microlensing and coronagraphy techniques to detect and study distant worlds.</li> <li>The potential for detecting biosignatures on exoplanets, with a focus on identifying signs of life through spectroscopic analysis.Jason and Alina's advice for aspiring astrophysicists, emphasizing the growing importance of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the field.</li> <li>Finally, a lighthearted discussion of the guests' personal lives and travel experiences, highlighting the balance between their professional and family commitments.</li></ul> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a></p> <p><strong>Co-Host:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/Isaac_A_Arthur" target="_blank">Isaac Arthur</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/jrhodes/" target="_blank">Jason Rhodes</a> and <a href="https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/kiessling/" target="_blank">Alina Kiessling</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

Windows Weekly 888: Find the Blue Penguin

Published: 2024-07-03 11:35:10

<p>It's only been one week, but it's really been 14 years, and Paul is calling: Microsoft and Qualcomm have finally made Windows 11 on Arm both viable and desirable. Nothing is perfect, but this platform is pretty incredible. Some notes from the past week:</p> <p><strong>Mission Accomplished</strong></p><ul> <li>As a reminder, Paul finally got the Yoga Slim 7x last week and updated on app compatibility, hardware compatibility, gaming, and in-box AI experiences in time for WW - only found one non-working app, Google Drive. Then...</li> <li>More app and game compatibility testing. Since then, played a lot more DOOM (2016), ran into one issue that's surely WOA-related (note beta graphics driver, though)</li> <li>Video encoding performance: Snapdragon X vs Snapdragon X vs Core Ultra 9 H-series vs MacBook Air M3</li> <li>Initial thoughts on battery life and then More thoughts on battery life.

This Week in Space 117: A Home on the Moon

Published: 2024-06-28 15:49:30

<p>For decades we've seen images of huge glass domes on the moon and Mars, but the reality of building settlements off-Earth is likely to look much different. This week we're joined by Evan Jensen of ICON Build, a company that, in just a few years, has created housing across Texas via 3D printing. Now, in association with NASA, they are also investing heavily in researching how to 3D print habitats on the moon and one day Mars. It isn't easy working in a vacuum--water freezes and evaporates instantly, and any other materials you need must be transported there. ICON has some unique processes they are testing in their large vacuum chambers, and the results are truly fascinating. Join us for a look into the future of living on other worlds!</p> <p>Headlines:<br /> - NASA has selected SpaceX for a $843 million contract to de-orbit the International Space Station (ISS) around 2030<br /> - ISS astronauts took shelter after a Russian satellite exploded, creating over 100 pieces of shrapnel<br /> - Boeing's Starliner capsule faces an indefinite delay in its return from the ISS due to technical issues</p> <p>Feedback:<br /> - Listener Tim Lazaroff suggests two space-themed songs by the group Lord of the Lost<br /> - Rod Pyle addresses inquiries about the decision to de-orbit the ISS, explaining the aging technology and high maintenance costs</p> <p>Main Topic: 3D Printing for Construction on Earth and Beyond with Evan Jensen<br /> - ICON's founders started the company in 2018 to push the limits of 3D printing technology for construction<br /> - ICON has completed several projects, including the House of Phoenix and a 3D-printed neighborhood in Texas<br /> - Project Olympus aims to use 3D printing for construction on the Moon and Mars, utilizing in-situ resources<br /> - On the Moon, ICON plans to use a laser-directed energy deposition system to melt and solidify lunar regolith<br /> - Challenges of lunar construction include the unsuitability of water in the concrete mix, extreme temperatures, and the need for robotic systems<br /> - ICON is developing lunar regolith simulants and testing robotic systems in their "Moon Box" facility<br /> - Mars construction may involve more traditional materials, but thermal energy deposition could still be viable<br /> - ICON's Vitruvius AI architecture model allows users to design homes based on their preferences and needs<br /> - The company's ultimate goal is to use robotics, automation, and AI to help solve the global housing crisis on Earth while enabling a sci-fi future of extraterrestrial habitation</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a></p> <p><strong>Co-Host:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/Isaac_A_Arthur" target="_blank">Isaac Arthur</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanmj/" target="_blank">Evan Jensen</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

This Week in Space 115: Our Friendly Mr. Sun

Published: 2024-06-14 13:59:30

<p>We see the sun every day as it rises and sets... it's one of the few constants in life. But it's a very dynamic body, throwing minor temper tantrums regularly.

This Week in Space 107: Mars Sample Return Blues

Published: 2024-04-19 14:59:30

<p>Unless you've been living under a big red Martian rock, you've likely heard that NASA's Mars Sample Return mission is in trouble. The robotic program has its roots in the 1960s, when NASA started thinking about sending robots to fetch Mars soil even before Mariner 4's first flyby of the planet. The Russians pondered it as well, as the Chinese and Japanese are today. The problem? It's really hard, with multiple spacecraft, possibly on different launches, rendezvousing around the Red Planet to accomplish. And then there are the concerns about the safety of returning possible pathogens to Earth (that said, I could use an extra tentacle). But the showstopper, as usual, is cost—and NASA's not happy. We invited the original Space Ace reporter, Leonard David, to join the discussion.</p> <p>Headlines:</p><ul> <li>NASA gives green light to Dragonfly, a nuclear-powered helicopter mission to Saturn's moon Titan, set to launch in 2028 and arrive in 2034</li> <li>New images from the Perseverance rover reveal the crash site of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, showing scattered debris and broken rotor blades</li> <li>NASA continues to study the Orion spacecraft's heat shield, which experienced more erosion than expected during the Artemis 1 mission, raising concerns for future crewed missions</li></ul> <p>Main Topic: Mars Sample Return Mission</p><ul> <li>Leonard David expresses frustration with NASA's recent announcement of significant cost increases and delays for the Mars Sample Return mission</li> <li>NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated that the current estimated cost of $11 billion is too high and called for innovative ideas from industry and academia to reduce costs and accelerate the timeline</li> <li>They discuss the scientific importance of returning Martian samples to Earth but question whether the current approach is the most effective way to search for life on Mars</li> <li>Leonard suggests that advancements in miniaturized instruments could allow for more comprehensive life detection experiments directly on the Martian surface, reducing the need for sample return</li> <li>The conversation touches on the potential for international collaboration and competition in Mars exploration, with China, Japan, and Russia planning their own missions</li> <li>Rod highlights the critical role of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Mars exploration and expresses concern about the potential loss of expertise if the MSR mission is scaled back or cancelled</li> <li>The TWiS crew concludes by emphasizing the need for a clear, sustainable strategy for Mars exploration that balances scientific objectives, technological capabilities, and budgetary realities</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.leonarddavid.com/" target="_blank">Leonard David</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://www.wix.com/studio?utm_campaign=pa_podcast_studio_all_brnd_all_en_03/22_all__thisweekinspace%5E1&experiment_id=%5ESpace%5E%5Ehp" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">wix.com/studio</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 105: Apoc-eclipse 2024!

Published: 2024-04-05 15:29:30

<p>Unless you've been living under a rock or in Barstow, you probably know all about the solar eclipse on Monday. Rod will be going to Austin, likely to be staring at ever-darkening clouds, and Tariq will be headed to the eclipse path in the Northeast. Where will you be? On today's episode, we're talking to astronomer and meteorologist Joe Rao about the solar eclipse of 2024--what is it, where the moon's shadow cross Earth, how can you maximize what you see (or don't see), and how to view partial phases safely. This last bit is important, and we're going to give you an earful about "solar safety"--the effects of improper viewing can be catastrophic. And, of course, Rod's bringing a terrible eclipse-oriented space joke! Join us.</p> <p>Headlines:</p><ul> <li>Chinese Space Debris Sighting: China's Shenzhou-15 crew capsule's orbital module made an uncontrolled reentry, lighting up the skies over California without prior warning.</li> <li>Space Junk Hits a Florida Home: A story of a mysterious cylinder, believed to be part of a NASA battery pallet jettisoned from the ISS, crashing through a Florida man's home, illustrating the unpredictable nature of space debris re-entry.<br /> </li></ul> <p>Main Topic: The Solar Eclipse of 2024</p><ul> <li>Introduction to Joe Rao: Introduction of Joe Rao, his background, and his excitement for the upcoming eclipse, his 14th total solar eclipse viewing.</li> <li>Eclipse Overview: Joe provides an in-depth look at the upcoming solar eclipse, discussing its path across North America, from Mexico through the United States to Canada, and highlighting its significance compared to past eclipses.</li> <li>Viewing Tips: Discussion on safe viewing practices, including the importance of using certified eclipse glasses and other methods to safely observe the eclipse without damaging one's eyes.</li> <li>Weather Considerations: Joe offers advice on how to choose the best viewing locations based on weather patterns and suggests resources for last-minute location adjustments to avoid cloud cover.</li> <li>Personal Stories and Plans: Tariq shares his plans to view the eclipse with his family, emphasizing the personal significance and communal aspect of experiencing such a rare event.</li> <li>Final Thoughts and Advice: The episode wraps up with Joe stressing the unparalleled experience of witnessing a total solar eclipse firsthand, urging listeners not to miss the opportunity to be in the path of totality.</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoeRaoWeather" target="_blank">Joe Rao</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://www.wix.com/studio?utm_campaign=pa_podcast_studio_all_brnd_all_en_03/22_all__thisweekinspace%5E1&experiment_id=%5ESpace%5E%5Ehp" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">wix.com/studio</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 103: Starship's Orbital Feat

Published: 2024-03-22 15:14:30

<p>Last week's test flight of SpaceX's Starship--its third so far--was a mixed bag. The successful launch, ascent, staging, and testing of propellant transfer and the cargo bay door were all brilliant, yet both vehicles were destroyed before completing their planned trajectories, and the upper stage didn't make it into orbit (though it did reach "orbital velocity," according to Elon). So what's the real story on this test flight? When will the next one be? How close is SpaceX to routine launches of Starship, and when might it be ready to land NASA astronauts on the moon? And finally--an interstellar Starship, really Elon? Space.com ace reporter Mike Wall--that's Dr. Mike Wall to you--joins us with the details.</p> <p>Headlines:</p><ul> <li>Soyuz Rocket Pad Abort: A rare occurrence where a Soyuz rocket's launch to the ISS was aborted due to a power issue, highlighting the reliability and challenges of space launches.</li> <li>Boeing Starliner's Crew Test: An update on Boeing's Starliner, poised for its first crewed test flight, marking a significant milestone in commercial spaceflight.</li> <li>Chandra Space Telescope Funding Cuts: Discussion on budgetary decisions impacting the Chandra X-ray Observatory, reflecting on the challenges of sustaining long-term space science missions.</li></ul> <p>Main Topic - SpaceX's Starship Developments:</p><ul> <li>Starship's Third Test Flight: Starship's third fully stacked test flight on March 14th was the most successful to date, achieving significant milestones but still facing challenges with stage separation and atmospheric reentry.</li> <li>Technical Challenges and Innovations: Discussions on Starship's design choices, such as its stainless steel construction and the choice of methane as fuel, showcasing the innovative approaches to overcoming space travel challenges.</li> <li>NASA's Artemis Program and Starship: NASA's reliance on Starship for future lunar landings underlines the spacecraft's importance in returning humans to the Moon and potentially beyond.</li> <li>The Business Case for Mars: Speculation on how SpaceX plans to finance its Mars colonization ambitions, including the role of commercial and military contracts, point-to-point Earth transportation, and the potential market for Mars travel.</li> <li>Potential for Interstellar Travel: Elon Musk's ambitious vision for Starship's future, including interstellar missions, underscores the long-term goals of SpaceX's space exploration efforts.</li></ul> <p>Get Mike's book "Out There": <a href="https://amzn.to/3PBrQlY" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3PBrQlY</a></p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/michaeldwall" target="_blank">Mike Wall</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://zscaler.com/zerotrustAI" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">zscaler.com/zerotrustAI</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.wix.com/studio?utm_campaign=pa_podcast_studio_all_brnd_all_en_03/22_all__thisweekinspace%5E1&experiment_id=%5ESpace%5E%5Ehp" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">wix.com/studio</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 102: A New Volcano on Mars!

Published: 2024-03-15 14:44:30

<p>Thought you knew all about Mars? Think again. Despite thousands of people poring through thousands of images from a flock of Mars orbiters over the decades, Dr. Pascal Lee and his associates found intriguing features in a region of complex terrain between Mars' Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system, and the western extent of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. First, he spotted a relict glacier, covered with volcanic ash, and in a single day, realized he'd found a recently active volcano not previously identified--and how was this missed? Pascal will fill us in on the gritty details. This exciting discovery has wide-ranging implications, including the possibility of finding life nearby. Join us for this first-anywhere media reveal of the newest major feature on the Red Planet!</p> <p>Headline: SpaceX's Starship Test Flight</p><ul> <li>SpaceX conducted its third test flight of the Starship and Super Heavy launch system, successfully reaching orbital speed but losing both vehicles during re-entry</li> <li>The Starship reached orbital velocity and performed several test objectives, including a Starlink satellite dispenser demonstration and in-vehicle propellant transfer</li> <li>The test flight, while not perfect, represents a significant step forward for SpaceX's Mars ambitions, though there is still a long way to go before Starship is ready for crewed missions</li></ul> <p>Main Topic: Dr. Pascal Lee's Discovery of a Giant Volcano on Mars</p><ul> <li>Dr. Lee and his team discovered a previously unknown volcano on Mars, measuring 450 km (280 miles) in diameter and rising 9,000 meters above the surrounding terrain</li> <li>The volcano, located in the Noctis Labyrinthus region near Valles Marineris, has been hiding in plain sight since the Mariner 9 mission in 1971</li> <li>The discovery was made while studying a nearby glacier, which is likely related to the volcanic activity in the area</li> <li>The volcano's heavily eroded state suggests a long history of activity, with evidence of recent eruptions and the potential for ongoing activity</li> <li>The presence of a glacier and potential for residual heat make this site a compelling target in the search for extant life on Mars</li> <li>Dr. Lee proposes this location as an ideal site for future human exploration, offering access to both ancient and potentially modern life on Mars</li> <li>The discovery highlights the importance of volcanic regions on Mars for understanding the planet's geological history and potential for harboring life</li> <li>Dr. Lee and his team have submitted the name "Noctis Mons" for the newly discovered volcano, pending approval from the International Astronomical Union (IAU)</li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="http://www.pascallee.net/" target="_blank">Pascal Lee</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://rocketmoney.com/twis" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">rocketmoney.com/twis</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Tech 959: The Old Farts Gather

Published: 2023-12-24 08:59:30

<p>In this festive end-of-year episode, Leo gathers some of the veteran hosts of the TWiT network, dubbed "old farts," to reflect on the major tech stories and trends of 2023 while looking ahead to 2024. They debate AI and tech's impact on society, discuss the ups and downs of companies like Twitter, Apple, and SpaceX, reminisce about the early days of computing and the Internet, and more, all with good humor and insight gained from decades in tech.<br /> <br /> Topics Discussed:</p><ul> <li>The explosion of AI in 2023, from chatbots like ChatGPT to powerful new AI demonstrations. Debate on whether we're nearing AGI (artificial general intelligence) and the societal impacts.</li> <li>The rise and struggles of companies like Facebook/Meta, Netflix, Twitter, Alibaba. Patterns of tech success, failure, and Corey Doctorow's concept of "ensh*tification."</li> <li>Elon Musk: The good (SpaceX, Starlink), bad (Twitter), and unpredictable. Is he still an innovator or has wealth and power corrupted him?</li> <li>Open source, Linux, and big tech's relationship to open ecosystems. Concerns about commercialization diluting open ideals.</li> <li>Looking back on early tech days. How the history of tech contextualizes what's happening today. Nostalgia and optimism for the early Internet days.</li> <li>The revival of space exploration, privatized today by SpaceX and others. What can we expect as we (hopefully) return to the Moon in 2024?</li> <li>Chaos, unpredictability, and the feeling of societal flux as we head into 2024. An uncertain but interesting future awaits.</li></ul> <p><br /> Memorable Quotes:</p><ul> <li>"AI is only dangerous to humans if you give it physical agency in the real world. Combine AI with a robotic dog, and now you got something." - Leo</li> <li>"When are you getting your stupid thing that you wear that has the laser on your hand?" - Jeff to Leo</li> <li>"It's time to hand it over. We're effing up the world. We've done it for centuries. It's time to hand it over." - Jeff on tech leadership</li> <li>"So has anybody played with the Apple ones that have the weird eyeballs?" - Doc on Apple's augmented reality efforts</li> <li>"Chaos is a weird thing. You could have your faucet dripping slowly and almost all of the drips go down and land and that's it, but somehow about a yard off to the one side is a drip" - Steve on increasing chaos</li></ul> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/leo-laporte">Leo Laporte</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jeff-jarvis">Jeff Jarvis</a>, <a href="https://twit.tv/people/doc-searls">Doc Searls</a>, <a href="https://twit.tv/people/steve-gibson">Steve Gibson</a>, and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech</a></p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://rocketmoney.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">rocketmoney.com/twit</a></li> <li><a href="http://gusto.com/tech" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">gusto.com/tech</a></li> <li><a href="http://stamps.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Stamps.com promo code TWiT</a></li> <li><a href="http://hid.link/twitdemo" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">hid.link/twitdemo</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 89: Who's in Charge in Space?

Published: 2023-12-01 15:04:28

<p>With an increase in commercial and private spaceflight comes the need to regulate it, and the FAA has had a major role in newspace flight rules to date... but should it be the primary regulator moving ahead? Many in the field say no, and some decry most attempts at what they see as unnecessary control. We at TWiS feel that, like any other form of transportation, proper and healthy regulation is needed--the question is by whom, and how. George Nield, President of Commercial Space Technologies and former Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Aviation at the FAA, joins us to work through the tangle.</p> <p>Image Source: Blue Origin</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgenield/" target="_blank">George Nield</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://bitwarden.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">bitwarden.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 74: Adrift in the Kuiper Belt?

Published: 2023-08-11 13:15:24

<p>For decades, all the planets of the solar system had been reconnoitered—except Pluto. That last planetary body had been seen, at best, as just a faint smudge by the Hubble Space Telescope. Then, in 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft sped by Pluto, sending back a swath of exciting images and science data, transforming our view of the planet. It subsequently visited the Kuiper Belt object Arrakoth and may rendezvous with another, more distant body—or not. NASA's new budget seems to spell the end of active science for New Horizons, something that does not sit well with the program's Principal Investigator, Dr. Alan Stern. Join Alan as he speaks with us about this very exciting project and what it may take to keep it alive.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/AlanStern" target="_blank">Alan Stern</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://GO.ACILEARNING.COM/TWIT" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">GO.ACILEARNING.COM/TWIT</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 73: Heavy Metal in Space

Published: 2023-08-04 15:41:23

<p>Not all asteroids are created equal, and 16 Psyche, one of the largest, is extremely dense in metals, making it unique. Is the 140-mile giant the leftover core of a failed planet, or a more recent gravitational accretion of metal-rich bodies? Will it help us to understand how metallic cores—like Earth's—form and function? NASA's sending a spacecraft, also called Pysche, to find out. The mission is led by Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton, who joins Rod and bestselling author Daniel Suarez to explain what makes Psyche—both the asteroid and the mission—so fascinating.</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/itsDanielSuarez" target="_blank">Daniel Suarez</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ltelkins" target="_blank">Lindy Elkins-Tanton</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://discourse.org/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">discourse.org/twit</a></li> <li><a href="http://bitwarden.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">bitwarden.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

This Week in Space 70: Finding Your Space Tribe

Published: 2023-07-14 14:31:53

<p>We all long to belong to something bigger than ourselves... for some, it's a large family; for others, a workplace. But for us, the "Space Enlightened," it's our space tribe! The tribe might embrace Star Wars or Star Trek lore, or might be interested in ETs... but for many of us—perhaps the more technically or scientifically minded — it's one of the pro-space citizen's organizations out there that allow us to be intimately involved in the Big Adventure. Join us as we talk to Dale Skran of the National Space Society about the organization and their amazing yearly gathering, the International Space Development Conference.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rod-pyle">Rod Pyle</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://space.nss.org/dale-skran-biography/" target="_blank">Dale Skran</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://GO.ACILEARNING.COM/TWIT" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">GO.ACILEARNING.COM/TWIT</a></li> </ul></p>

<p>Microsoft/FTC hearings reveal numerous details about the Xbox business</p><ul> <li>The FTC's economist could not explain how the acquisition would actually harm competition</li> <li>The FTC bungled its questioning of Phil Spencer so badly that he had to explain how mergers work to the agency.</li> <li>Microsoft decided to pursue AB after it learned that Sony was paying publishers to skip Xbox and that it was trying to make Starfield exclusive to PlayStation</li> <li>A Bethesda executive asked Phil Spencer why AB was so different, noting that some Bethesda titles became Xbox exclusives</li> <li>Phil Spencer says that Microsoft "expects" Xbox to be profitable, but he never said that it ever was. Its continual third-place finishes in the console market is what kicked off Microsoft's game studio buying spree: Sony was outspending it on exclusives</li> <li>Phil Spencer also admitted to what I think is Xbox's biggest failure, it's lack of an "organic" strategy for mobile.</li> <li>Spencer: there is no native Minecraft on PS5 because Sony. (Related: if Microsoft buys AB, Sony will not give AB advanced access to PS6)</li> <li>Xbox Cloud Gaming was promoted as a way to get Xbox in front of 3 billion more eyeballs, but it's been used as a way for Xbox console users to test new games before they buy them.</li> <li>Sony's PlayStation boss came off badly during the hearings.</li> <li>Microsoft considered "spending Sony out of business." If this deal fails, it should do just that</li> <li>AB demanded a better revenue share and threatened to pull COD off Xbox otherwise. They had no choice, so AB gets an 80/20 revenue split instead of the usual 70/30.

This Week in Space 55: First Woman Space Shuttle Commander

Published: 2023-03-31 13:59:10

<p>Col. Eileen Collins was the first woman to pilot the space shuttle and command a NASA mission, but the journey was not easy. She was the second woman to go through the Air Force's test pilot school and was selected as an astronaut in 1990. In 1995 she piloted the shuttle Discovery in a mission to rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir, and in 1999 she commanded the STS-93 mission--the first woman to do so--and STS 114 in 2005, the shuttle's return to flight after the Columbia accident; in all, she flew four shuttle missions. Eileen retired from NASA in 2006 and co-authored "Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars" with Jonathan Ward. She continues to inspire young women worldwide. </p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/tariq-malik">Tariq Malik</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileen-collins-8a582351/" target="_blank">Eileen Collins</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space">https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>

Published: 2022-09-08 13:07:11

Chances are you're using multiple apps and utilities to complete tasks on your Mac that could all be handled by CleanMyMac X. This week, Mikah Sargent explains why CleanMyMac X — despite unfairly being lumped in with low-quality, multi-utility apps — is good, actually. The app can help you solve all sorts of problems on macOS, help you speed up your system, and make sure you've fully uninstalled apps you're looking to get rid of.</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p>Discuss episodes in the <a href="https://www.twit.community/c/conversations-about-our-shows/hom/75" target="_blank">TWiT Community</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit">Club TWiT</a> members can discuss episodes in the <a href="https://twit.memberful.com/account/discord/authorize">Club TWiT Discord</a>.</p>

Tech News Weekly 236: Apple's Malicious Compliance

Published: 2022-05-26 14:29:30

<p>California's AB-2408 aims to hold social media companies responsible for social media addiction. DuckDuckGo comes under scrutiny for its deal with Microsoft. Apple's Self-Service Repair Program leaves a lot to be desired. Researchers set their sites on social media dissociation.</p> <p>First, Techdirt's Mike Masnick stops in to discuss California's AB-2408. The bill, if passed, would allow parents and guardians to sue social media companies for their kids' social media addiction. But does the bill go too far in limiting free speech? Masnick shares his thoughts.</p> <p>Then, Tom Merritt of the Daily Tech News Show, discusses Bleeping Computer's recent report on DuckDuckGo. The company, which has a partnership with Microsoft, has been accused of allowing Microsoft trackers in its browser while still blocking other third-party trackers.</p> <p>Then, Mikah regales listeners with the tumultuous tale of embarking on the quest to replace the battery in his iPhone 12 Pro Max by way of Apple's Self Service Repair Program.</p> <p>Lastly, Jason shares a project from researchers at the University of Washington that looked at how social media design influences dissociation.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jason-howell">Jason Howell</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/mmasnick" target="_blank">Mike Masnick</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/acedtect" target="_blank">Tom Merritt</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://Melissa.com/twit" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Melissa.com/twit</a></li> <li><a href="http://checkout.com/tnw" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">checkout.com/tnw</a></li> <li><a href="http://ZipRecruiter.com/tnw" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">ZipRecruiter.com/tnw</a></li> </ul></p>

Tech News Weekly 231: CNN+ Is Shutting Down

Published: 2022-04-21 16:29:30

<p>Sales software and video-conferencing applications turn to computer vision for more insight into impact. Netflix is facing a stock drop after it announced plans to tackle poor subscription rates. Just a few weeks after its launch, CNN+ is reportedly shutting down. "BeReal." is a new social media platform that encourages authenticity.</p> <p>First, Kate Kaye of Protocol stops by to discuss emotion A.I. and sentiment analysis. The two technologies are often conflated, but Kaye argues the two are distinct.</p> <p>Then, The Washington Post's Alyssa Rosenberg provides some clarity on Netflix's dip in subscribers. The media streaming company may look to an ad-supported tier to help prop up its losses.</p> <p>Then, following up on his story from last week, Mikah shares the latest news regarding CNN+. According to Axios, the premium subscription service will shut down at the end of the month.</p> <p>Lastly, Jason shares his thoughts on the latest social media network to capture some cultural attention — "BeReal." aims to encourage its users to share candid, unguarded, realistic shots of their daily goings-on.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jason-howell">Jason Howell</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/KateKayeReports" target="_blank">Kate Kaye</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AlyssaRosenberg" target="_blank">Alyssa Rosenberg</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://checkout.com/tnw" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">checkout.com/tnw</a></li> <li><a href="http://ZipRecruiter.com/tnw" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">ZipRecruiter.com/tnw</a></li> <li><a href="https://nureva.co/3yAtb0Z" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">nureva.com</a></li> </ul></p>

Tech News Weekly 196: Not Sold on the Z Fold

Published: 2021-08-12 14:29:30

<p>After Apple detailed its plans for protecting against Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), many questioned the impact such a decision could have. The U.S. is set to pass a new infrastructure bill that features a cryptocurrency tax provision. Researchers have created what they call a set of "master faces" to bypass facial recognition. Samsung announced a slew of foldable phones at its Unpacked event. </p> <p>First, Rene Ritchie joins Tech News Weekly to provide an update on Apple's recently announced plans for finding Child Sexual Abuse Material on its platform. Ritchie explains the technology, details some of the criticisms, and discusses the pros and cons of end-to-end encryption. </p> <p>Then, Nikhilesh De of CoinDesk stops by to discuss a provision in the U.S.'s new infrastructure bill. The bill, which is set to pass, features a provision regarding a cryptocurrency tax, but some argue the language surrounding the tax is broad and lacks clarity. </p> <p>Then, Mikah shares a story from Vice about a study in which researchers created a series of "master faces" that could be used to bypass facial recognition technology. </p> <p>Lastly, Jason and Mikah discuss the Samsung Unpacked event.

Tech News Weekly 190: Turning Windows Up to 11

Published: 2021-07-01 13:59:30

<p>After a federal judge dismissed two antitrust cases against Facebook, many are wondering what happens next. Windows 11 is available to developers, so here's a first look. Instagram says it's going to focus primarily on video sharing. A judge has issued a primary injunction against Florida's SB 7072 social media law. </p> <p>First, Will Oremus of The Washington Post joins the show to talk about the ongoing battle to break up Big Tech. While some would look at a federal judge's recent decision to dismiss two antitrust cases against Facebook as a win for Big Tech, Oremus says this is just the beginning. </p> <p>Then, Ian Sherr of CNET stops by once again to give us an update on Windows 11. After Microsoft released a developer preview, Sherr provides his initial thoughts and tells us how Microsoft is taking on Apple with its open, inviting approach in Windows 11. </p> <p>Then, Ant Pruitt shares a couple of stories about Instagram. Firstly, Instagram may be working on subscriber-only stories for its massive influencer network. Secondly, the social sharing app says it plans to focus heavily on video sharing going forward. </p> <p>Finally, Mikah discusses a judge's decision to block Florida's SB 7072, a law that would prevent some (but not all) social media companies from annotating and/or blocking the accounts of political entities.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/ant-pruitt">Ant Pruitt</a> </p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/WillOremus" target="_blank">Will Oremus</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/iansherr" target="_blank">Ian Sherr</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>. </p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://checkout.com/tnw">checkout.com/tnw</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.endava.com/en/Podcast">Endava Podcast - Tech Reimagined</a></li> </ul></p>

Tech News Weekly 189: The Lowdown on Windows 11

Published: 2021-06-24 16:59:30

<p>Apple has published a report on the App Store, its "trusted ecosystem" of apps in response to several antitrust cases and concerns. iOS 15 will introduce iCloud Private Relay and Universal Control. Peloton is reeling in the backlash its received related to its treadmill and subscription service. Microsoft has revealed Windows 11. </p> <p>First, Rene Ritchie joins the show to talk about the ongoing antitrust concerns regarding Apple's App Store. The company has published a report detailing its "trusted ecosystem" of apps — Rene explains how this could help the company going forward. Then, Ritchie is back to talk about two new features in the next versions of Apple's various OSes — iCloud Private Relay and Universal Control. He explains how the features work and what you can look forward to in the next versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. </p> <p>Then, Brianna Wu stops by to talk about Peloton. The company is receiving blowback after its decision to "fix" its treadmills with a feature that requires subscribing to its fitness program. After the death of one child and injury of others, some customers are unhappy with Peloton's inaction and resistance to fully fix the problem. </p> <p>Finally, Ian Sherr of CNET gives us the lowdown of Microsoft's Windows 11 event. What are the big features that stood out? What's the deal with Android apps on Windows? Sherr answers these questions and more.</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> </p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/rene-ritchie">Rene Ritchie</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/BriannaWu" target="_blank">Brianna Wu</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/iansherr" target="_blank">Ian Sherr</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>. </p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://udacity.com/TWiT">udacity.com/TWiT offer code TWIT75</a></li> <li><a href="https://link.chtbl.com/commandlineheroes_cyoa?sid=podcast.TNW">Command Line Heroes - TNW</a></li> <li><a href="http://Melissa.com/twit">Melissa.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

Tech News Weekly 187: The Everyday Impact of Ransomware

Published: 2021-06-10 14:29:30

<p>Ransomware attacks are affecting more than just big, faceless corporations. They've closed schools, delayed chemotherapy appointments, and caused panic. Jason Howell goes hands on with Google's new Pixel Buds A Series. Mikah Sargent shares some of the things you may have missed from Apple's WWDC 2021. The FBI orchestrated a complex operation to fight encrypted criminal activities ... with a phone service. <br /> <br /> First, Heather Kelly stops in to talk about her piece in The Washington Post about ransomware attacks. These attacks are impacting the lives of everyday people — including those in hospitals, at school, and folks looking to fill their gas tanks. <br /> <br /> Then, Jason Howell gives a quick hands-on review of Google's new Pixel Buds A-Series. He highlights the differences between the new model and their predecessor, the Pixel Buds. <br /> <br /> Then, Mikah Sargent shares some tidbits you might have missed from Apple's WWDC Keynote. <br /> <br /> Finally, Joseph Cox of Vice shares his fascinating piece about an FBI operation aimed at encrypted criminal activity. It all starts with a phone service.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jason-howell">Jason Howell</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> </p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/heatherkelly" target="_blank">Heather Kelly</a> and <a href="https://motherboard.vice.com" target="_blank">Joseph Cox</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>. </p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://att.com/activearmor">att.com/activearmor</a></li> <li><a href="https://nureva.co/3bVy7Fi">nureva.com/twit</a></li> <li><a href="http://itpro.tv/tnw">itpro.tv/tnw promo code TNW30</a></li> </ul></p>

Tech News Weekly 185: An Accessible Return to Work

Published: 2021-05-27 13:59:30

<p>As folks around the world plan their return to the office, advocates are pushing for a sustained — and improved — focus on accessibility. Samsung's Galaxy Upcycling program seemed promising, but the company kind of ruined what was once a great idea. Facebook announced it would start limiting individual accounts that routinely spread misinformation. A study looking at the activity of those who work from home indicates folks are getting a lot more done during their 9 to 5 than just their 9 to 5. </p> <p>First, Abrar Al-Heeti of CNET stops by to talk about her enlightening piece regarding accessibility and the pandemic. While some aspects of digital accessibility have improved, advocates are asking for the focus to continue as folks begin to return to the office. </p> <p>Then, Kevin Purdy of iFixit.com discusses Samsung's Galaxy Upcycling Program, a way for folks to use their old Galaxy devices in new ways. Despite it sounding like a great idea, Samsung kind of ruined it. </p> <p>Then, Mikah shares a story about Facebook limiting the reach of personal accounts that spread misinformation on the social network. </p> <p>Lastly, Jason talks about a new study that reveals some of the things folks are doing during the workday — including napping, shopping, having sex, and dating. But if they're getting their work done, is it all that bad?</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jason-howell">Jason Howell</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> </p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/alheeti_3" target="_blank">Abrar Al-Heeti</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinpurdy" target="_blank">Kevin Purdy</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>. </p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://Melissa.com/twit">Melissa.com/twit</a></li> <li><a href="http://Headspace.com/TNW">Headspace.com/TNW</a></li> <li><a href="https://nureva.co/3bVy7Fi">nureva.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

In honor of World Password Day, Google wants to bring an end to the password. </p> <p>Then, Alex Kantrowitz joins Jason and Mikah to talk about a kerfuffle between messaging service Signal and social media company Facebook.

FLOSS Weekly 627: Beyond the Browser

Published: 2021-04-28 13:29:30

<p>Browsers and the Web are just one model for making the Internet work. Another is one Doc Searls and his colleagues at Customer Commons are working on: the Intention Byway. With co-hosts Katherine Druckman and Shawn Powers, Doc discusses how it all works: with compute nodes called "intentrons" at the ends and a "byway" for pub-sub messaging in the middle. As a new model, it creates a boundless variety of ways for demand and supply to signal each other in the open marketplace, outside the silos and platforms of the big tech giants. And, of course, it's all open source.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/doc-searls">Doc Searls</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/katherined" target="_blank">Katherine Druckman</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/shawnp0wers" target="_blank">Shawn Powers</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly</a> </p> <p>Think your open source project should be on FLOSS Weekly?

FLOSS Weekly 619: Notetaking With Dendron

Published: 2021-03-03 13:59:30

<p>Kevin Lin and Dendron. </p> <p>Kevin Lin joins Jonathan Bennett and Katherine Druckman to talk about Dendron, a note-taking application built on top of VSCode. After many years of taking notes, Kevin found himself with a massive, unmanageable personal knowledge store. None of the existing note-taking applications quite solved his problem, so Kevin did the only reasonable thing, and wrote his own. On this episode of FLOSS Weekly, Lin covers some of his design decisions, including building Dendron on VSCode and Javascript, and helps us understand how Dendron can help tame the jungle of personal knowledge.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/jp_bennett" target="_blank">Jonathan Bennett</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/katherined" target="_blank">Katherine Druckman</a> </p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/kevins8" target="_blank">Kevin Lin</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly</a> </p> <p>Think your open source project should be on FLOSS Weekly?

Tech News Weekly 153: Finding Joy on TikTok

Published: 2020-10-01 14:29:30

<p>Facebook begins to merge Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Google announces the Pixel 5 with millimeter-wave 5G. TikTok gains notice as the authentic social media network. <br /> <br /> First, Harry McCracken of Fast Company joins us to explain Facebook's latest move — the company is slowly merging its messaging apps. Could Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp become a single, merged service? <br /> <br /> Then, Android Police's David Ruddock stops in to give us his thoughts on Google's fall hardware event. How does the Pixel 5 compare to other flagship phones? Why does Ruddock think millimeter-wave 5G in the Pixel 5 is a mistake? Your questions are answered. <br /> <br /> Then, Abrar Al-Heeti gives us the deets on her CNET article regarding TikTok and the unique authenticity the platform cultivates. Between the positive energy, laughs, and all-around good nature of the platform, folks are finding there what they haven't found from other social media networks. <br /> <br /> Lastly, Mikah talks about a designer who made more than $100k on the #AestheticAF iOS Home screen trend and Jason shares a song he's been listening to.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/jason-howell">Jason Howell</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> </p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/harrymccracken" target="_blank">Harry McCracken</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/rdrv3" target="_blank">David Ruddock</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/alheeti_3" target="_blank">Abrar Al-Heeti</a> </p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-weekly</a>.</p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://barracuda.com/tnw">barracuda.com/tnw</a></li> <li><a href="http://ZipRecruiter.com/tnw">ZipRecruiter.com/tnw</a></li> <li><a href="https://twit.cachefly.com">twit.cachefly.com</a></li> </ul></p>

TWiT's Smart Tech Today hosts Mikah Sargent and Matthew Cassinelli gave color commentary. The event was not quite the professionally-produced affair that Apple and Microsoft gave us at their developer keynotes earlier this year - it seemed more like a hastily-arranged Zoom call. </p><ul><li>After a 15-minute delay, Vlad Serban, the Strategic Partner Development Manager for Scale at Google, started things off. </li><li>Phillip Klimke, the Strategic Partner Development Manager for Security at Google, discussed security. </li><li>Tasnoba Nusrat, the Strategic Partner Development Manager for Comfort and Control at Google, talked about controlling energy management devices. </li><li>Katelyn Mason, the Strategic Partner Development Manager for SHED at Google, introduced Google's home entertainment devices. </li><li>Alessandro Germano, the Head of Business Development for Latin America and Bianca Waclawek, the Strategic Partner Development Manager for LATAM at Google, focused on the importance of developing relationships in Latin America. </li></ul><p>The main keynote featured Michele Turner, Director of Product Management for Google Smart Home Ecosystem Devices. She quickly went through several IoT topics: </p><ul><li>New Google Smart Home Ecosystem devices and routines </li><li>Gentle Sleep and Wake </li><li>Android 11 will have dedicated IOT controls </li><li>New security controls for IoT devices </li><li>More controls for state reporting </li><li>New Local Home SDK with improved controls, smart home logs, statistics, and analytics </li><li>The transition from "Works with Nest" to "Works with Google Assistant" </li><li>More "Home and Away" routines and custom routines for partners </li><li>With Project Connected Home Over IP, Google is working with Amazon, Apple, and Zigbee to develop an open standard for IoT based on Internet Protocol </li></ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a> and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/matthew-cassinelli">Matthew Cassinelli</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/twit-news">https://twit.tv/shows/twit-news</a>.</p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong><ul> <li><a href="http://LastPass.com/twit">LastPass.com/twit</a></li> </ul></p>

A few predictions. Google's are in, and they are surprisingly good.<br />Cloud outlook: cloudy</p><ul><li> Microsoft outlines more steps it's taking to try to keep its cloud services up and running</li><li> But constraint issues are still happening and no real details are available on how it's increasing capacity</li><li>Related: Samsung's memory business is going gangbusters because of cloud providers like Amazon and Microsoft</li><li> But ... will it last?

Mixer now lets you redeem your Microsoft Rewards points for channel subscriptions so you can use your Rewards to directly support your favorite streamer.</li><li> App pick of the week: Stardock Curtains. Thanks to Windows 10's support for Dark Mode, it's now possible to skin this thing in an elegant way.</li><li> Enterprise pick of the week: Windows Server containers now GA on Azure Kubernetes Service. Move over Linux. Windows Server container support is now available in AKS after a year in preview.</li><li> Codename pick of the week: Santos. Microsoft has been dabbling with the idea of holoportation (telepresence) for a while. It may be getting more serious. Walking Cat found links to a couple of apps: Mirage and Santos, that could be related to this work. Mirage allows users to add a virtual monitor and Santos is some kind of teleconferencing client.</li><li> Beer pick of the week: All Cats are Grey in the Dark. A "white" stout! It's a thing. There's a very good example of the style from Fat Orange Cat Brewing. Clocks in at a modest 7.2%. Tastes of coffee, vanilla, and a little chocolate. Definitely sweet and syrupy.
