For as long as they've understood what asteroids actually are, scientists have pined for pristine samples that haven't had to endure hurtling through Earth's scorching atmosphere. The OSIRIS-REx probe, which launched in 2016, is finally returning its ultra-valuable payload--a bit of primordial star-stuff from the early solar system--to Earth. On September 24, a small capsule will land in the Utah desert, and secreted inside is at least two ounces of sample material from asteroid Bennu. It's been a long and sometimes arduous voyage, and we're joined by Anjani Polit, the Mission Implementation Systems Engineer for OSIRIS-REx.

Paul chimes in on his experience at Microsoft's recent AI event, changes to Windows 11's confusing updates, last week's Xbox leaks, antitrust lawsuits against tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon, and more! Microsoft Special Event: Blockbuster... or blockluster? Paul went to his first in-person Microsoft event in almost four years. You're not going to believe what happened next! Ahead of the event, everyone was calling this a "Surface event" and some still are. But it was an AI event, period. Were our expectations met? Copilot "rebrand" was in many ways the biggest news Microsoft 365 Commercial arrives November 1 - And Microsoft 365 consumer is a thing Microsoft announced two Surface PCs at event, one with an NPU. And then two other Surface PCs/devices. Most of these do not matter WTF is happening with Windows 11 23H2? We had a confusing several days, the perfect end-cap to a confusing year when it comes to Windows updating. But now we have the answers. At special event, Microsoft reveals it will ship "next major Windows 11 update" September 26. It's 23H2! It's not 23H2! One day after the event, Release Preview gets Fall Update Paul attempted to achieve some clarity ahead of John Cable's post Microsoft releases the Fall Update (in preview form) Is Windows 11 finally where it needed to be when Microsoft shipped v1 two years ago? Follow-ups to last week's blockbuster news  Panos Panay will succeed Dave Limp at Amazon Further examination of the leaked Xbox documents Microsoft's reaction to the PS5 specs reveal is sort of clueless in retrospect Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo. No, really. And it considered lots of companies Antitrust UK CMA provisionally approves of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard So of course the FTC revives its lost battle against Microsoft/AB.

Space wants to kill you every moment you are there. From the harsh vacuum to extreme temperatures to killing radiation, there's no shortage of ways to make your stay in space brief. This Halloween, we discuss the Top Ten (and probably more) scariest moments and places in space. And a TWiS bonus--NASA Deputy Administrator and former astronaut Pam Melroy drops in with her scariest space story! Hold on to your thrusters; it's going to be a wild ride. Headlines: Pre-Halloween Lunar Eclipse! Partial lunar eclipse on October 28, but you must be in the Eastern Hemisphere to see it. Peak viewing will be in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. China launched a new crew to its Tiangong space station on the Shenzhou 17 mission. The three taikonauts will spend 6 months on the station, replacing the outgoing Shenzhou 16 crew. The OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample capsule remains stuck shut after its return. NASA is still working on safely opening it to access the priceless cargo inside. Main Topic - Top Space Frights The harrowing Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, the first time humans landed on another world, almost ran out of fuel before touching down. Black holes, with their incomprehensible gravity wells that spaghettify anything that gets too close. Alexei Leonov's dicey first spacewalk in 1965 where his suit ballooned up and he nearly couldn't get back into the spacecraft. Gamma ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe, that could strip a planet's atmosphere if pointed the wrong way. The near-disaster of Gemini 8 in 1966, when Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott had to fire retrorockets, forcing an emergency reentry, to stop the violent tumbling of his spacecraft. Spooky exoplanet TrES-2b, with its coal-black atmosphere and lava-hot winds. Surprise guest and NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy's Pick: Her own scary moment on STS-120 in 2007 when a snagged solar array threatened to electrocute spacewalker Scott Parazynski.

This week on Tech News Weekly, Jason and Mikah go back in time to the origins of cell phones with an AT&T engineer who helped build the first network, get the inside scoop on Apple's next event from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, social media trends, and more. We kick off the show by chatting with Stu Tartarone, a veteran of AT&T who helped develop the first cell phone network and make the first cell phone call back in 1983. They discuss the skepticism around early cell phone market research, the distributed network architecture that enabled cellular technology, and how concepts like pre-dialing numbers were revolutionary at the time. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg joins to preview Apple's upcoming "Scary Fast" October event. He explains that the name hints at new M3 chips for the MacBook Pro and 24-inch iMac. Mark also shares details on the future of AirPods and AirPods Max. Mikah analyzes Google's reported plan to block Apple from making inroads in search through lobbying and pushing its own apps. Google pays Apple billions to remain the iPhone's default search, but wants to prevent Apple's Spotlight from becoming competition. Jason covers the shutdown of Twitter alternative T2, renamed Pebble. It never gained traction despite its familiar format and focus on safety. Social media platforms are struggling to retain users divided across multiple networks.

Today I want to remind my audience about the power behind host-read ads and how including a personal endorsement, also known as a PE, increases traction for brands. Host-read content continues to be a proven strategy for seasoned ad buyers, because it's the best kind of influencer marketing — and that's supported by Nielsen research which found host-read ads lead to stronger lifts in key equity metrics, such as a 67% increase in brand affinity. In today's podcast landscape, Dynamic Ads have taken over- please do not believe all those agencies and networks who only sell DAs. As they tout, DAs are stronger and better than host-read ads. 100% false information, and I wish they would stop saying it. Audiences listen to podcasts because they trust and want to hear from their favorite hosts. When an ad is host-read and authentic, there is a 50% increase to purchase from brands over DAs. When the host-read ad includes a personal endorsement from the host - the brand affinity and conversions are even higher than an implied endorsement. Why? Because the trust is already established and with the host talking about how much they love a brand, the audience is more compelled to trust the brand too.

On this episode, Leo, Paul, and Richard discuss the big release of Windows 11 23H2, productivity in Macs vs PCs, Microsoft 365 Copilot arriving, changes in the Xbox and marketing divisions, iFixit support for Surface repair, and American rye whiskeys. 23H2 Surprise! Microsoft delivers the Windows 11 23H2 Update, which upgrades your Windows 11 version 22H2-based PC to version 23H2, much sooner than expected. Technically, Microsoft NEVER delivered the so-called "Fall Update," since it was only made available in preview form (twice, for some reason). So 23H2 is actually the first public release of those 150+ new features. The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool still installs 22H2. Because Microsoft. Workaround: Use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Which hilariously requires you to install the PC Health Check app. We need to discuss Microsoft Teams in Windows 11. And then literally never discuss it again. Microsoft is killing the Windows Insider MVP program. What exactly did it even mean to be an "MVP" in the Insider program? Dev: From last Friday, adds one new feature, a "Recently added" folder (for apps) in Start (in Recommended) Beta, from last Thursday: Two new features (gradual rollout): System components in Settings, Game Bar rebranding. Plus fixes. Windows 11 now has 26 percent usage share vs. 69 percent for Windows 10. Whatever happened to Windows 12? There have been overt clues about Windows 12 literally all year, including as recently as last week. But Microsoft has never, not once, uttered this phrase. What's happening? Microsoft 365/AI Today's the day: Microsoft 365 Copilot arrives for commercial customers on E3 or higher. OG Teams is retiring in March. Microsoft Word turned 40 last week. This was the gateway drug that lured Paul into the Microsoft ecosystem. But it's showing it's age. If Microsoft can't get spell- and grammar-checking right in Word, why will AI work? Earnings Learnings Did Azure just make more money than AWS?? Intel stumbles but finally sees an end to the PC sales slide. Surface iFixit now sells Surface replacement parts. And it is fascinating to see how much more you can replace/repair in newer models compared to the first "repairable" Surface, Surface Pro 7. Xbox Microsoft reorgs Xbox in the wake of Activision Blizzard acquisition. Chris Capossela is Leaving Microsoft. Paul has a very mysterious announcement to make for our holiday show this year! Xbox October Update arrives with keyboard mapping for Elite Series 2 and Adaptive controllers. There are a lot more titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in early November. Microsoft will now block unofficial controllers on Xbox consoles. Atari acquires Digital Eclipse, the retro game company behind that amazing Karateka interactive documentary.

I want to remind brands and agencies that podcasts are on demand and not everyone simulcasts. Podcast ads are not TV commercials or radio ads that are seen or heard immediately. Therefore, you need patience and a strong message when advertising on podcasts, AND you must implement ALL podcast tools to gauge traction properly. Reminder - in today's landscape, it's safe to say that it takes at least 12 touchpoints to turn a lead into a sale, and it's high time we all embrace this reality. The concept of "touchpoints" refers to the various interactions a potential customer has with your brand or product before they make a purchasing decision. The average touchpoint is considered to be 8, and even this can vary between 1 - 50 depending on the length of the buying stage. Patience is mandatory if brands are going to buy podcast advertising. Why? Because brands have to allow people to download podcast episodes, listen to them, hear their brand elsewhere, or see it and then make a purchase. Too many podcast agencies are canceling ad buys before giving the ads time to reach their greatest impact. Agencies are not educating their clients on what it takes to be effective in podcast advertising. We had several this year cancel B2B contracts two weeks after the first ad dropped, stating "it didn't work." Well, of course, it didn't work - they did not set their client's expectations, nor did any of the agencies we work with implement the proper tools to truly measure impact. And if you are canceling podcast ads two weeks after the first ad drops, then you are wasting your client's money. Here are the five recommended tools to properly understand the impact of a brand's podcast advertising campaign: Implement a landing page or offer code with a compelling offer unique to the podcast. Use ad tech to see who downloaded a podcast with a brand's ad in it and see how many visitors went to the brands website. Measure the increased traffic to the brand's website as some podcast fans use VPNs and opt out of tracking, making it impossible to measure everything. Review downloads, as podcast ads take time to deliver all advertising impressions, and you have to give fans time to listen and then act. Implement post-purchase surveys because if your offering is for a B2B product/service, I doubt the CEO who heard the ad made the purchase, making ad-tech useless if the person making the purchase is not the same person who heard the ad. Lastly, you need patience. Podcast advertising works because fans trust their hosts, and they take time. Host: Lisa Laporte Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/host-read-ads

President Biden issued an executive order on Artificial Intelligence. How does the US government see AI today based on this executive order? What are the implications of Microsoft's breakthrough with their small AI model, Phi 1.5? And how social media influencers sharing news are starting to have more reach to a younger generation than legacy news outlets.  What does it mean by President Biden's issue of an executive order on Artificial Intelligence? Eric Geller of The Messenger breaks down the President's executive order that was signed earlier this week. Reed Albergotti of Semafor stops by to talk about Microsoft and their recent breakthrough on their small AI model, Phi 1.5, and how it compares to OpenAI's GPT-4. How is legacy media keeping up with news being broken and shared by influencers?

We all know you must carry breathable air and drinkable water with you into space... but when traveling to Mars, how can you ensure your life support system will keep working all the way there and beyond? Technology is fallible, and when talking about life support—breathable air, temperature control, and potable water—all are non-negotiable and critical to survival. It's enough to give engineers nightmares. Grant Anderson, the president and CEO of Paragon Space Development Corporation, has been working on these problems since early in his career, and his company is developing mission-critical systems today. We join Grant to learn about how we can be assured that Tariq and I will still have enough air to tell bad space jokes in month 6 of our trip to Mars. Headlines: Predicting a fierce upcoming solar maximum starting in late 2024, about a year earlier than forecasted Exploring the potential impact on Earth of dangerous explosions called "kilonovas" from distant neutron stars Remembering Apollo 16 astronaut Ken Mattingly, who has passed away at age 87 Main Topic: The Challenges of Life Support in Space: Guest Grant Anderson gives his background - degrees from Stanford, 10 years at Lockheed, starting Paragon in 1993 to provide life support for extreme environments Paragon's first biological experiments in space focused on enclosed stable ecosystems with shrimp and algae Anderson explains how sweat and humidity are collected, gases removed, and water purified for drinking on the ISS The hosts are amazed by Paragon's tech saving 98% of astronaut urine and sweat, critical for deep space missions Qualifying life support hardware for zero-g remains challenging - failures in space rarely match those in 1g on Earth Looking ahead to Mars, Anderson is concerned about abrupt breakdowns in life support and inadequate medical capabilities Rotating spacecraft to create artificial gravity could help address unknown impacts of long-term weightlessness Anderson details innovations like selective air bypass to efficiently clean only parts of the airflow inside a spacecraft or habitat Miniaturization of sensors and electronics has helped, but some key needs remain Grant emphasizes life support isn't "sexy," but it's the critical technology needed for all human spaceflight Pyle and Malik joke about the challenges of scaling up from SpaceX's Dragon life support for crews of 4-7 to Musk's visions of 100 people on Starship missions Anderson reflects on his surprising prediction that bio-regenerative life support for Mars transit might operate more like a brewery than a farm Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Grant Anderson Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Copilot headed to Windows 10,  Parallels Desktop on M3 Max, SFI Windows 11 Microsoft to bring Copilot to Windows 10 too. As predicted, actually. Last week was hell trying to figure out how/where people could get 23H2. Turns out, there's a reason. Microsoft is terrible. A Microsoft employee notably—offered some clarity on the 23H2 rollout. 23H2 is available via the ISO download or Installation Assistant, as Paul noted last week. 23H2 is NOT available via the Media Creation Tool, as Paul also observed — delayed two weeks. Canary build today: SMB changes (Server Message Block, not small business). Microsoft deprecated some features in Windows 11 version 23H2 but didn't remove any (yet?). The Windows Tips app was just deprecated too. Microsoft to remove two in-box apps from clean installs in the future. The HP Spectre Folding PC is a compelling argument for the hybrid PCs of the future. More Revenues Apple: Flat with last year, still all iPhone. Qualcomm: Terrible, but also sees a rebound looming. Surface Microsoft extended Surface support for firmware/drivers from 4 years to 6 for newer models. Microsoft 365/AI Microsoft Authenticator quietly rolled out "MFA Fatigue" relief. You will have noticed this. Microsoft launches Trustworthy Computing 2.0: The Cloudening. A look at the M365 competition: Google Workspace good (especially Drive), Slack bad. REALLY bad. Microsoft Edge 119 arrives with a few UI changes. OpenAI had a little show and is offering custom ChatGPT clients. Because we all need more Elon Musk in our lives, here's Grok. Microsoft partners with Inworld on generative AI game development. Xbox Call of Duty MWIII multiplayer/full game arrive Friday. Nintendo revenues up nicely. EA is in great shape. Epic is in court vs. Google, this time could be different. Google paid Activision Blizzard $360 million in 2020 to keep its games in the Play Store. Sony is killing Twitter integration on PS4/5.

As more people take tourist jaunts into space, and eventually into orbit for longer stays, social drinking will become part of the experience—even if it's just that bottle of congratulatory champagne. Besides the odd effects of zero-g on fizzy drinks in the stomach, the effects of imbibing alcohol cause a wide variety of risks and concerns. And while this is not entirely unknown territory—the Russians have been known to drink cognac from time to time (and are strongly suspected of taking vodka into space), the data is slim. Space alcohol expert Colleen McLeod Garner has studied this for years and written articles on the topic and will join us to discuss the joys and potential downsides of the consumption of booze in the final frontier—no fake IDs allowed! Headlines:  Astronaut Frank Borman, Gemini 7 and Apollo 8 commander, has died at age 95. He was an icon of the early space program. NASA launches a new free streaming app called NASA+ with space documentaries and live events. A tiny experimental satellite called TRISAT-R managed to take a blurry photo of Earth with a camera the size of a coin's edge. Main Topic: Alcohol Use in Space Brief history: NASA bans it, but a few Russians have consumed vodka in space. Astronauts had communion wine. Pros: Provides relaxation, normalcy, creature comforts to deal with stress. Processes in alcohol fermentation could be a component in closed-loop recycling. Cons: Impairs functioning, cognition. Unknown effects in zero-G include faster absorption, longer lasting buzz. Beer causes wet burps (gas issues). Experiments: Aging whiskey, wine, and beer in space - some marketing gimmicks but also valuable research. Tourism vs. settlements: Rules may be looser for paying tourists than permanent crews. Challenges: Regulating it, possible licensing. Hard to brew/produce enough in space initially. Favorite space drinks: The TWiS crew pick Romulan ale and tequila for their ideal cosmic cocktails and share amusing stories and perspectives on responsible alcohol use in space.

The UK is allowing ChatGPT and other AI tools to be used in legal rulings. Why did Tesla recall over 2 million of their vehicles? What led to E3 being canceled?

This holiday special episode of This Week in Space covers a wide range of space topics from 2023, including asteroid sample return, China's space achievements, commercial lunar landers, Mars sample return challenges, UFO disclosure, and more. Headlines: The asteroid Bennu sample return mission delivers intriguing early findings, including organic molecules and "cauliflower" textured particles that may provide insights into the early solar system. Speculative ideas on "dark life" forming from dark matter shortly after the Big Bang prompts discussion on expanding definitions of life. Congress orders UFO records released within 25 years but allows military to withhold information threatening national security, disappointing those seeking full disclosure. Main Topic: The Year in Review Recap of major SpaceX milestones in 2023 with Falcon 9 reuse and Starship testing advances, though the lunar landing variant and orbital refueling still need work. India bounces back from previous lunar landing failure with successful Chandrayaan-3 orbiter and Pragyan rover mission. Mars sample return mission faces criticism for ballooning costs now exceeding $11 billion and delays pushing to 2030 or beyond. OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return hailed as a major success story for 2023 despite minor parachute issue on re-entry.

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. Topics Discussed: 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. 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." Elon Musk: The good (SpaceX, Starlink), bad (Twitter), and unpredictable. Is he still an innovator or has wealth and power corrupted him? Open source, Linux, and big tech's relationship to open ecosystems. Concerns about commercialization diluting open ideals. Looking back on early tech days. How the history of tech contextualizes what's happening today. Nostalgia and optimism for the early Internet days. The revival of space exploration, privatized today by SpaceX and others. What can we expect as we (hopefully) return to the Moon in 2024? Chaos, unpredictability, and the feeling of societal flux as we head into 2024. An uncertain but interesting future awaits. Memorable Quotes: "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 "When are you getting your stupid thing that you wear that has the laser on your hand?" - Jeff to Leo "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 "So has anybody played with the Apple ones that have the weird eyeballs?" - Doc on Apple's augmented reality efforts "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 Host: Leo Laporte Guests: Jeff Jarvis, Doc Searls, Steve Gibson, and Rod Pyle Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at https://twit.tv/clubtwit Sponsors: rocketmoney.com/twit gusto.com/tech Stamps.com promo code TWiT hid.link/twitdemo

America's heading back to the Moon, but what does the public really think? This week, we talk with former NASA Chief Historian and Smithsonian Curator Dr. Roger Launius, who has studied, among many other things, public perceptions of NASA and spaceflight. Some spoilers: no, there was no "Golden Age" in the 1960s when the public was hugely behind the Apollo Moon landings; being a space historian is a lot of fun; and it probably doesn't really matter if China lands people on the Moon before the US does so *again*. Join us. Headlines: • Successful first flight of ULA's new Vulcan Centaur rocket with engines from Blue Origin • Payload - Astrobotic's Peregrine commercial lunar lander suffers propulsion leak en route to the Moon • NASA engineers finally open stuck cover on OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample capsule Main Topic: Public Perceptions of Space Exploration • Common perception of widespread public support and national unity around Apollo program is a myth  • Polls at the time showed concerns about cost and other spending priorities • Support depended heavily on Cold War context; would not have happened otherwise • Public support and approval polling for space exploration has remained fairly consistent over decades • But support drops when funds are weighed against other priorities like social programs • JFK tried multiple times to make Apollo a joint U.S.-Soviet program to save money • His assassination allowed NASA to leverage his legacy to maintain support and funding • Presidential bold visions for space require an urgent political problem to address • Competition with China lacks the existential threat of the Cold War space race Additional Topics:  • NASA is now doing business with more private-public and commercial partnerships • But political factors and election cycles still hamper long-term continuity • Preserving history and archives from the digital era will be extremely difficult • Predictions: Boots on the Moon again within 10-15 years, Mars by 2040s Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Roger Launius Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Father Robert Ballecer reports live from CES 2024, giving an overview of the major technology trends and themes on display at the massive electronics and technology trade show, including the proliferation of off-grid and portable power solutions, the ubiquity of electric vehicles, the explosion of AI integrations, and the concept of autonomous resource extraction ecosystems.  The first big trend is the explosion of off-grid, portable, and hybrid power solutions, from suitcase-sized inverters to whole-home solar+storage systems to portable power banks for appliances and tools. Fr. Robert highlights Runhood's modular battery packs as an affordable and flexible home energy storage solution. Electrified vehicles of all kinds—cars, trucks, boats, bikes, scooters, etc.—are becoming ubiquitous across the entire CES show floor. Fr. Robert calls out Kia's modular, customizable PBV electric van concept with interlinking capabilities between vehicles. AI integrations are everywhere at CES 2024, from questionable examples like smart trash cans to truly useful ones like shoes that analyze gait with insole sensors and give personalized feedback through AI. Autonomous resource extraction combines remote operation, AI, electrification, and self-sufficiency. Hyundai's vision shows AI robots generating power, mining hydrogen, and transporting materials autonomously. While many tech trends fade away, the trajectories of electrification and AI look strong. The future promises continued innovation in green energy, autonomy, and automation. Host: Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/twit-events.

Outlook, privacy, and the terribleness of Big Tech New Outlook Decried as a "Surveillance Tool for Targeted Advertising One perspective: How terrible are other companies like Google and Meta?

2024 looks to be another exciting year in spaceflight! Despite the delay of the Artemis crewed lunar program, a number of exciting missions are queued up this year, among them the launch of Europa Clipper, ESA's HERA mission to Didymos, the first flight of Blue Origin's mammoth New Glenn rocket, and the first crewed flight of India's new spacecraft, the Gagaanyan capsule. We'll dive into these and more on this episode of This Week in Space! Headlines: Japan became the 5th country to successfully soft land on the moon with their SLIM lunar lander, though it is having issues generating solar power due to its arrays not deploying properly. Despite this setback, Japan still declared the landing a success. Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander failed after launch, burning up in Earth's atmosphere over the South Pacific after losing contact following its launch on ULA's Vulcan rocket. This was a major setback for Astrobotic's first lunar delivery contract under NASA's CLPS program. Axiom Space launched their AX-3 mission, the third all-private crewed flight to the ISS. The crew is made up of an international mix from the U.S., Italy, Spain, and Sweden. Main Topic: 2024 in Space Artemis Program Delays: NASA announced delays to the Artemis program, pushing back Artemis 2 to at least December 2025 and Artemis 3's lunar landing to 2026. Issues remain with the SLS rocket, Orion capsule, spacesuits, and especially SpaceX's Starship lunar lander, which needs many test flights before it is ready. Blue Origin's Progress: Blue Origin rolled out a pathfinder version of their New Glenn rocket to the launch site, signaling they are making progress with a planned launch in mid-2024. The rocket will have the biggest fairings of any currently available rocket. 2024 Missions: JPL and NASA have many big robotic missions launching in 2024, including the Europa Clipper to study Jupiter's icy moon, JUICE to also study Jupiter's moons for ESA, and Hera, which will observe the results of NASA's DART asteroid test. ESA is also working to get the delayed Ariane 6 rocket off the ground. India's Gaganyaan Capsule: India is making progress in developing their own crew capsule, called Gaganyaan, with plans to launch test flights in 2024 and 2025. This will be a major step in their ambitions for an independent human spaceflight program.

Climate change has become a top priority for all of us, including NASA. Space solar power—beaming energy from space 24 hours per day—has become a real possibility and is being studied internationally by the US, Europe, Japan, and China. It promises to provide a zero-emissions, zero-carbon source of energy worldwide—but it will take significant investment, development, and commitment. A recent NASA-backed study was positive but careful with its conclusions, and John Mankins, one of the first researchers of SSP in the US who continues to work on the concept, joins us to address the report and to talk about the possible future of limitless, clean, and affordable energy for a hungry world. Headlines: Mars Ingenuity Helicopter - After a highly successful demonstration flight campaign on Mars with over 70 flights, NASA has announced the pioneering helicopter can no longer fly due to damage sustained to its rotors during its last flight. Despite this setback, Ingenuity has proven that flight is possible on Mars and paved the way for future rotorcraft explorers. SLIM Lander - Japan's SLIM lunar lander achieved a soft landing on the moon but tipped over on its side during touchdown, limiting its ability to collect science data. Still, Japan is hailing the mission as a success for proving precise landing capabilities that can be applied to future missions. Exoplanet Discovery - The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a new "hot and steamy" exoplanet called GJ 9872d that harbors water vapor in its atmosphere, making scientists excited about its potential to host life even though surface temperatures exceed 700°C. Main Topic: Space-Based Solar Power Benefits - Space solar power collected in space and beamed wirelessly to Earth is carbon-neutral, available 24/7, and faces no weather disruptions, providing a major clean energy source. Viability - The core concept is scientifically sound and uses proven technology like satellites and wireless transmission. Recent advancements in areas like reusable rockets, modular hardware, and efficient solar cells have made costs far more viable. NASA Study - A recent NASA-commissioned study reached lackluster conclusions about economic feasibility, but used assumptions counter to emerging launch trends on achievable costs for launches and hardware production. International Competition - Other nations like China, Japan, and Europe are investing much more in research and planning than the US currently is, challenging the US to regain leadership in space solar power. Safety - Wireless power transmission systems can be designed to safely beam microwaves at intensities less than natural sunlight. SPS-ALPHA Concept - Modular design using sophisticated tracking mirrors, "sandwich modules" of solar panels, electronics, and transmitters. Features mirrors to keep panels illuminated as satellite orbits. Built of mass-produced, interchangeable parts requiring no new technology. Path Forward - Continue incremental technology advancements and on-orbit demonstrations to build confidence. Involve commercial space companies that can leverage economies of scale. Stress US origins of the concept and opportunity to lead in developing this carbon-free energy source.

For this reason, Microsoft has been working with industry partners for decades to create and standardize new ways to reduce our reliance on passwords and improve the security of our accounts and the private data they contain.

What's it like seeking love within AI? How web crawlers are suddenly controversial with the rise of AI. Are Meta's Ray-Ban Smart Glasses better than the Apple Vision Pro for what face computers are capable of now? And Amazon has created the largest text-to-speech model that they claim to exhibit "emergent" qualities to speak sentences more naturally. Emily Dreibelbis of PCMag joins the show to talk with Mikah about the AI "dating scene" AI through ChatGPT Plus and AI boyfriends and her somewhat lackluster experience. Mikah talks about the "robots.txt" file that exists within many if not all, websites and how AI is impacting the use of this file. Victoria Song of The Verge stops by to talk about Meta's and Apple's VR offerings and the differences between the two devices. Finally, Amazon researchers have trained a text-to-speech model that they claim exhibits "emergent" qualities that improve its ability to speak sentences more naturally than other text-to-speech models.

We all think we know what NASA's up to, but there's nothing like hearing their plans directly from the top. This week, NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, who is also a former astronaut, commander of the space shuttle, and US Air Force test pilot, joins us for a very special episode. We discussed the recently announced delays to the Artemis lunar landing program, NASA's long-term goals on the Moon, the overall trajectory of human spaceflight, Pam's favorite memories of her time in space, and — perhaps our favorite moment — her "gentle" rejoinder to a male pilot who hadn't had much experience flying with "ladies"! Be sure to join us for this exclusive interview. Headlines: Members of Congress made the claim that Russia is developing a new anti-satellite weapon with a possible nuclear component.

A remarkable achievement and inspiration nonetheless. Main Topic: Interview with NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy Melroy provides an overview of her role as Deputy Administrator, overseeing operations and execution of the Administrator's priorities. Discusses being inspired by Apollo and space exploration from a young age. Combined backgrounds in planetary science, test piloting, and astronaut experience inform her work. Emphasizes NASA's long-term vision for sustained human presence and exploration throughout the solar system, using the Moon as a proving ground. Explains how NASA is currently defining infrastructure requirements for Moon bases, pressurized rovers, communications, and more. International partnerships are expanding. Highlights the importance of Artemis missions for testing and maturing capabilities needed for Mars and beyond. Balancing technical challenges and schedule. Notes the convergence of robotic and human exploration seen with new commercial lunar landers supporting future astronaut missions.

What a year it's been so far! This week, Tariq and Rod look at some of the top headlines for 2024. So far, we've had a partially successful private lunar landing--the first for the United States since 1972--massive satellites hurtling out of orbit, more news on SpaceX's upcoming Starship activity, what's up with Blue Origin and New Glenn, the weirdest quasar story ever, and there's gold in them stars, says the James Webb Space Telescope. And we're just getting 2024 started! Join us for our deep dive into the headlines. The top story is the successful landing of the Odysseus lunar lander by Intuitive Machines on the moon's south pole, the first private spacecraft to do so. They discuss the mission's payloads, the last-minute fix using NASA's navigation system when their own failed, and the implications for future lunar operations. They cover the uncontrolled reentry of the defunct European ERS-2 satellite over the Pacific Ocean and how dealing with space junk has evolved. Varda Space Industries made history by successfully landing their private space capsule via parachute after seven months in orbit, a first and step towards autonomous in-space manufacturing. Exciting updates on SpaceX's Starship development - they may launch up to 9 missions in 2024 and are expanding infrastructure, targeting early to mid-March for the third launch of Starship. Blue Origin rolled out their New Glenn rocket to the pad for fit checks, inching towards a test flight this year. The farthest quasar yet has been discovered, called J0529-4351, with a brightness of 500 trillion Suns and a massive disk 7 light years wide. Showcases improving AI analysis of astronomical data. Using James Webb, astronomers directly observed heavy elements like gold being created for the first time in merging neutron stars. Proves long-standing theories on cosmic origins of heavy metals.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 improves on its predecessor and undercuts the price of the HP Spectre Foldable PC dramatically, depending on the configuration. That latter fact alone helps bring us one step closer to a future in which foldable PCs rule the premium portable PC market.

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! Headline: SpaceX's Starship Test Flight 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 The Starship reached orbital velocity and performed several test objectives, including a Starlink satellite dispenser demonstration and in-vehicle propellant transfer 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 Main Topic: Dr. Pascal Lee's Discovery of a Giant Volcano on Mars 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 The volcano, located in the Noctis Labyrinthus region near Valles Marineris, has been hiding in plain sight since the Mariner 9 mission in 1971 The discovery was made while studying a nearby glacier, which is likely related to the volcanic activity in the area The volcano's heavily eroded state suggests a long history of activity, with evidence of recent eruptions and the potential for ongoing activity The presence of a glacier and potential for residual heat make this site a compelling target in the search for extant life on Mars Dr. Lee proposes this location as an ideal site for future human exploration, offering access to both ancient and potentially modern life on Mars The discovery highlights the importance of volcanic regions on Mars for understanding the planet's geological history and potential for harboring life Dr. Lee and his team have submitted the name "Noctis Mons" for the newly discovered volcano, pending approval from the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

How did NVIDIA's recent GTC keynote go? Plus, why it makes sense for Apple to partner with Google for Gemini on iPhone. AI Reorg Microsoft has created a new Microsoft AI "organization" that reports directly to Satya Nadella Led by former Inflection co-founders and staffed in part by several ex-Inflection employees Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, who orchestrated Microsoft's OpenAI partnership, will continue forward in his other role as executive vice president of AI and will remain responsible for Microsoft's overall AI strategy Mikhail Parakhin and the entire team responsible for Copilot, Bing, and Edge, plus Misha Bilenko and the GenAI team, will move into Microsoft AI. Rajesh Jha will continue as executive vice president of Experiences & Devices and will "partner closely with Mustafa and team" on Copilot for Microsoft 365. What does this mean for Windows?

Windows is still presumably under Jha) Windows Windows 10 (Yes, 10, not 11) is getting new Sports, Traffic, and Finance cards on the lock screen for some reason No new Insider builds since last week!

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. Headlines: 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.

Main Topic - SpaceX's Starship Developments: 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. 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. 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.

On Windows Weekly, Moment 5 has arrived as a Preview Update, Windows 10 gets a preview update, and Microsoft announces the Surface Pro 10 & Surface Laptop 6 for Business at a digital event. Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app. Would Microsoft develop a Windows-based gaming handheld device? And Canva acquires Affinity. Windows Moment 5 arrives as a Preview Update right on schedule - it's Week D, etc. Microsoft previously described this schedule in its DMA compliance documentation, and noted that it would be fully deployed in stable by the end of April. Quick raise of hands: Did you think this was already available? You're not alone. But ... you know. Microsoft. Oh, and there's a preview update for Windows 10 too. Because come on Microsoft. Don't worry, that lock screen nonsense in Windows 10 is coming to Windows 11 too. Qualcomm claims that most Windows games will "just work" on its X Elite processor. How? Chromium accepts Microsoft commit that will improve Chrome/Chromium text rendering on Windows. Google Chrome comes to Windows on Arm, instantly legitimatizing the platform. Surface Microsoft announces Surface Pro 10, Surface Laptop 6. For businesses, only - Intel Core Ultra-based. Consumer versions based on X Elite to follow in May, according to reliable rumors. It's first "AI PCs," supposedly. But now we know why they are using that terminology, and it's stupid. (Related, Intel has its own definitions for what makes a PC an AI PC.) This was billed as an AI event, "the new era of work," but there was NO news for Windows or Copilot. None. Why is that? One word: Momentum. AI In the wake of Microsoft AI reorg (a NeXT-style takeover), a key Microsoft exec says no and steps aside, will likely leave the company Microsoft Teams is gaining new AI capabilities because, duh, of course it is Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app - Two more checkmarks for that grid of Copilot capabilities Our developer show schedule is complete: Apple to host WWDC 2024 in June, following Google I/O and Build in May Samsung spreads Galaxy A1 to more devices starting tomorrow in the US Xbox It's finally happening: Diablo IV will be the first Activision Blizzard game on Xbox Game Pass when it goes live tomorrow. Phil Spencer says Windows is wrong for gaming handhelds, thinks an Xbox would be better. Xbox is testing mouse and keyboard support for Cloud Gaming. Tips and Picks Tip of the week: Arc browser just became more viable on Windows. App pick of the week: Affinity Photo 2 Also: Proton Pass now supports (portable) passkeys. And it's free.

This week the crew starts by looking at a KDE throw-back distro, then followed that up with a bunch of April Fools news, and a few April first stories that check out. FFMPEG puches out version 7, LXC mints 6.0 LTS, and EEVDF is about feature complete. Then the XZ SSH backdoor gets an update, and that conversation turns a bit philisophical regarding how nice Open Source should really be. For tips we have the awesome selfhosted list, vim, xz --version and zstd, and then some xfs tools for resizing a partition.

On this episode, Paul shares his thoughts on the Snapdragon X Elite chip with Leo and Richard. Windows 11 24H2, AI, NPUs, and SoCs from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm are all on the way this year. But a schedule is finally starting to emerge. And it looks like we'll soon have answers to the questions about how or why AI will matter on PCs. Windows, AI, and the future Windows 11 version 24H2 - staggered release schedule as discussed last week Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-based PCs in May/June - nothing but good news to date, but Paul went hands-on last week. It's the real deal. Intel's first-gen Core Ultra chipsets are lackluster, but now we have big promises for Arrow Lake in late 2024 Microsoft Build 2024 is in mid-May, and now we have a session list with some nice clues. For example, Introducing the Next Generation of Windows on Arm Microsoft is expected to unveil 24H2 and new X Elite-based Surface PCs at Build Computex and other milestones, and then back-to-school and holiday selling periods Windows 11 Moment 5 arrives in stable with yesterday's Patch Tuesday (which is now called the General Availability channel, by the way). Of course, we still don't have all the features. In particular, waiting on Android phone as a webcam. IDC says PC market grew by 1.5 percent in Q1 and acts like it's the turnaround of the century Microsoft is manually blocking certain registry keys related to default browsers now: Apple-like non-EU belligerence or pragmatic protection of user choice? Why can't it be both? Beta channel (last week) - Copilot actions improvements New Store app update improvements performance dramatically The Windows 11 de-ensh*ttification experiments continue Does Windows 11 Enterprise solve the problem? No. So it's time to move on Hardware TSMC gets some of that sweet, sweet CHIPS Act money to expand its US operations AI Three AIs comparison Blockbuster report claims OpenAI/Microsoft, Google, and Meta stole content at scale to train AI Microsoft opens a new AI hub in London Google mulls charging for generative AI in Search Spotify lets user create AI playlists using text prompts now Brave brings Leo to iOS, so it's on all supported platforms now.

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. Headlines: 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 New images from the Perseverance rover reveal the crash site of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, showing scattered debris and broken rotor blades 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 Main Topic: Mars Sample Return Mission Leonard David expresses frustration with NASA's recent announcement of significant cost increases and delays for the Mars Sample Return mission 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 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 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 The conversation touches on the potential for international collaboration and competition in Mars exploration, with China, Japan, and Russia planning their own missions 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 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 Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Leonard David Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Leo Laporte and Mikah Sargent dive into a variety of engaging tech topics, from controversial phone bans in schools to the future of AI and data privacy. The duo also tackles listener questions on VPNs, mobile hotspots, Apple App Store subscriptions, and more. Special guest Rod Pyle joins to discuss the latest updates on Voyager 1 and the Mars Sample Return mission. Mobile Phones in Schools: Leo and Mikah discuss the growing controversy around schools banning phones to prevent students from being distracted in class, despite parents' concerns about wanting to stay connected with their children.

John asks how to ensure that a VPN is truly protecting his privacy, and Leo explains the importance of trust in a connected world. Eric inquires about using NFC chips to log onto Wi-Fi networks with an iPhone, and Mikah clarifies that this feature is not currently available on iOS devices. Limitless: Leo pre-ordered a new wearable device called Limitless, which uses AI to record and transcribe conversations while respecting privacy by requiring consent from participants. Space expert Rod Pyle joins the show to discuss the latest developments with Voyager 1's corrupted memory and NASA's decision to cut ties with JPL for the Mars sample return mission due to cost and time concerns. Dan experiences issues with his mobile hotspot disconnecting when using his computer, and the hosts troubleshoot potential solutions, including checking for metered connections and power-saving settings. Fernando inquires about running local AI models for his work at a hospital, and Leo provides insight into retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and various open-source AI options like Dot. Tim asks about using multiple payment methods for Apple App Store subscriptions, and Mikah explains the workaround of manually reordering payment methods. Steve wants to move his photos from Google Photos to a hard drive, and Leo recommends using Mylio to easily import and manage the photos from Google Takeout. A listener, also named Tim, asks for recommendations on moving their DNS hosting away from Google while still supporting dynamic DNS updates, and the hosts suggest using Cloudflare or a router with built-in dynamic DNS support. Shelly experiences issues with mismatched drive sizes when attempting to clone her hard drives, and Leo advises using a sector-by-sector copying tool or rsync for more precise duplication.

Windows has never been without its controversies. There have been dark years of doubt and uncertainty, of Microsoft putting its corporate interests ahead of the needs of its customers. But it's fair to say that this type of behavior, which we now call enshittification, has escalated dramatically in recent years. And that Windows 11, in particular, has victimized its users with a steadily growing list of affronts, big and small, changes to the product that ignore the explicit choices and configurations we make, changes to behaviors that run contrary to decency and common sense, and changes to functionality that undermines the reasons we use Windows in the first place.

We've been waiting... and waiting... and waiting for Boeing's Starliner to fly. First selected in 2010, along with SpaceX's Crew Dragon, Starliner has been behind schedule for years. SpaceX got $2.6 billion for its six dragon flights, and Boeing received more at $4.3 billion, so you'd expect Boeing to be first to fly, right? Well, as of today, SpaceX has delivered crews to the International Space Station eight times, to Boeing's... zero. Delayed development, turbulence problems with the capsule on the Atlas launcher, stuck valves, flammable materials, and faulty parachute lines have all contributed to the delays. Boeing has flown two uncrewed missions—the first one a partial failure, with the second, funded by Boeing itself, flown to NASA's satisfaction. Now it's time to put a crew aboard. Will Boeing overcome their issues and deliver the goods? Join us. Headlines: Voyager's Return: NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirms reestablishment of contact with Voyager 1 after five months of silence, overcoming communication challenges over vast interstellar distances.

Main Topic: Boeing Starliner's Upcoming Mission Starliner's Crewed Test Flight: A detailed discussion on Boeing's upcoming Starliner mission, highlighting the spacecraft's capabilities, the crew's preparations, and the significance of this test flight. Spacecraft and Mission Overview: Insights into the Starliner's design, the choice of Atlas V rockets for the launch, and the planned landing procedures in the southwestern United States. Crew Profiles: Focus on the astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, discussing their backgrounds, roles in the mission, and expectations for the test flight.

While we may not think of it very often, music has a long history of influencing how we think about spaceflight. From the scores of early silent films to the modern classics we all know, like 2001: A Space Odyssey and the never-ending franchises of Star Trek and Star Wars, we often have a riff going through our minds when we see a space image—few can hear Strauss' Blue Danube without thinking of the space station in 2001, or see a tilted yellow title scroll without hearing that first orchestral crash of John Williams' immortal Star Wars score. And, in real life, we had the talented astronaut Chris Hadfield performing David Bowie's classic hit Major Tom, augmented by upbeat lyrics. Space music is big, and Chris Carberry, CEO of Explore Mars and author of the recently released book The Music of Space, is here to tell us why! Headlines: China launches Chang'e-6 mission to the far side of the moon, aiming to collect and return the first-ever samples from this region Boeing completes final flight readiness review for the CFT crew flight test mission, set to launch on May 6th with a 95% chance of good weather James Webb Space Telescope successfully maps weather on exoplanet WASP-43 b, located 280 light years away, showcasing the telescope's potential for studying distant worlds Main Topic: The Music of Space Chris Carberry discusses his new book "The Music of Space: Scoring the Cosmos in Film and Television" and his motivation for exploring the connection between space and music Early examples of space-related music in film include the scores for "Metropolis" (1927) and the space documentary "Our Heavenly Bodies" (1920) The pivotal role of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" in using classical music to depict space, and how it influenced future filmmakers John Williams' iconic score for "Star Wars" (1977) marked a turning point in film scoring and revitalized orchestral music in cinema The concept of music as a universal language and its potential for communicating with alien civilizations Chris Hadfield's rendition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" on the International Space Station and the challenges of playing music in microgravity The role of music in future space settlements, its impact on mental health, and how it may evolve in different environments like Mars Chris Carberry's previous book "Alcohol in Space" and the history of alcohol consumption in space missions The need for studying the effects of alcohol on human physiology in space as commercial spaceflight advances Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Chris Carberry Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

In this episode of This Week in Tech, Leo Laporte is joined by Georgia Dow, Shoshana Weissmann, and Fr. Robert Ballecer, tackling a wide range of thought-provoking topics, from the ethical implications of AI in sensitive fields to the challenges of creating and consuming content in an increasingly commercialized digital landscape. The panel grapples with the potential risks and benefits of AI-powered therapists and priests, stressing the need for human empathy and discernment in these emotionally charged roles. They confront the harsh realities of the internet's "heat death," as the relentless pursuit of profits and engagement leads to a glut of low-quality content and erodes user trust. The group reflects on the double-edged sword of democratized media, celebrating the value of supporting emerging voices while acknowledging the importance of professional standards. As Twitter faces existential challenges, the panel surveys the social media horizon, evaluating alternative platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky, and weighing the implications of Jack Dorsey's departure from the Bluesky board. Elon Musk's reckless tweets about taking Tesla private have come back to haunt him, with the Supreme Court upholding an SEC settlement requiring his Tesla-related posts to be vetted by a lawyer. The FCC has cracked down on major telecom companies for the illegal sale of location data, while legislators push for reforms to prevent the government from exploiting privacy loopholes. Congress continues its misguided crusade to protect children online, with ill-conceived age verification mandates and privacy-eroding measures that threaten the very foundations of digital security. The panel offers an impassioned critique of these shortsighted efforts. The once-beloved video game Helldivers 2 serves as a cautionary tale of platform overreach, as a heavy-handed PlayStation Network login requirement sparks a massive player revolt and torpedoes the game's reputation. Apple's quarterly results are analyzed, and all eyes are on Apple's upcoming event, where new iPads and an enhanced Apple Pencil are expected to take center stage. But the real buzz surrounds the rumored M4 chip and its tantalizing AI capabilities, hinting at a potential game-changer for the iconic brand. The group geeks out over Disney+'s radical revival of X-Men '97 and Amazon's ambitious Fallout adaptation, complete with an immersive easter egg phone experience The freewheeling discussion also touches on Shoshana's ingenious Alexa hacks for Sabbath TV viewing, a UK council's apostrophe apocalypse, the looming cicada invasion, and Fr. Robert's role as a guardian angel for the Vatican's feral felines. Host: Leo Laporte Guests: Georgia Dow, Shoshana Weissmann, and Fr.

Sony introduced its new TV lineup for 2024 at a special event last month. Surprisingly, the new flagship is not a QD-OLED as it has been for the last two year; it's a miniLED LCD with greatly increased brightness. There are also other LCD-based models and one new conventional OLED. Scott Wilkinson breaks it down. Host: Scott Wilkinson Want access to the video version and exclusive features?

Amanda Silberling from TechCrunch joins Mikah Sargent this week on Tech News Weekly. They talk about how AI deepfakes have infiltrated aspects of the online conversations of the Met Gala fashion. How a Chinese network is behind one of the largest online scams into duping US and European customers through fake online designer shops. Teenagers are turning to AI chatbots to find entertainment, help, and even support from these AI services. Finally, Google DeepMind's AlphaFold AI program can model parts of DNA and human molecules. Amanda Silberling discusses how AI images have entered this year's Met Gala's online discourse through celebrities who "appeared" on the Met Gala carpet. Mikah Sargent talks about an online scam that originates in China, targeting US and European customers through online fake designer shops that acquire their credit cards and other personal information.

The Voyager probes have been transiting space since 1977, and they're still at it 46 years later. But late in 2023, Voyager 1, now 15 billion miles distant, started sending what the flight controllers called "gibberish" back to Earth---uncoordinated ones and zeros and a heartbeat tone. They knew it was still alive, but something had gone wrong. The small team of software wizards at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory got to work and came up with a workaround... but due to the age of the program, did not have an old enough computer on the ground to test it! They'd have to eyeball the sequence and send it to overwrite existing programming on the spacecraft. The round-trip radio signal from Earth takes 45 hours... and it was a nail-biter. Join us as we discuss this rescue beyond the solar system with Voyager Mission Scientist Dr. Linda Spilker. Headlines: Boeing Starliner launch delayed again due to a "buzzing" valve on the Atlas V rocket, not related to the spacecraft itself James Webb Space Telescope detects weather patterns on an exoplanet 41 light-years away, revealing a regenerating atmosphere on a puffy, molten world Elon Musk shares his thoughts on the lack of evidence for alien visitation, citing SpaceX's 6,000 satellites that have never had to maneuver around a UFO Feedback: A listener appreciates the discussion on how music relates to space exploration, but points out a missed opportunity to mention Ronald McNair's planned saxophone performance in space, which was tragically halted by the Challenger disaster. Main Topic - Saving Voyager 1 with Dr. Linda Spilker: Dr. Spilker's career at JPL, starting in 1977 and working on the Voyager mission, Cassini, and returning to Voyager as Project Scientist Voyager's small flight team and science team, many of whom have been with the mission since its inception The spacecraft's journey beyond the heliopause and into interstellar space, making unprecedented measurements of the interstellar medium The ambitious Grand Tour of the outer solar system, visiting Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and the remarkable discoveries made at each planet and their moons The recent challenges faced by Voyager 1, including a failed chip and the efforts to restore its function from Earth The limited computing power and memory of the Voyagers compared to modern spacecraft and the ingenuity required to program and communicate with them Pressure Front 2, a mysterious feature in the interstellar medium that Voyager 1 was monitoring before its recent glitch The expected lifespan of the Voyager probes and the need to start shutting down instruments as power decreases in the coming years Dr. Spilker's personal highlights from the mission, including the beauty of Saturn's rings, the geysers on Neptune's moon Triton, and hints of Saturn's moon Enceladus feeding the planet's E-ring Wishes for future exploration of the outer solar system, focusing on the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, Pluto, and other small worlds with rings Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Dr. Linda Spilker Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

In this episode of iOS Today, Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard dive into the world of Safari extensions, discussing a variety of handy tools that can enhance your browsing experience on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. From content blockers to custom search engines, the duo explores the benefits and potential drawbacks of these powerful add-ons. Additionally, Rosemary tackles a Shortcuts Corner question about switching Apple Watch faces using Siri. Safari Extensions: Browser Note: A simple extension that allows you to stick virtual post-it notes on websites, reminding you of important information when you revisit the page. Keyword Search: An extension that enables custom search engines for various websites, allowing you to quickly search Amazon, DuckDuckGo, and even TWiT.tv right from Safari's address bar. 1Blocker: A powerful content blocker that prevents ads and trackers from loading on web pages, potentially speeding up your browsing experience and protecting your privacy. Redirect Web for Safari: An extension that lets you create custom redirect rules for websites, ensuring you always end up on the correct version of a site (e.g., old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com). PayPal Honey: A controversial but money-saving extension that automatically finds and applies coupons and deals as you shop online. Vinegar and Baking Soda: Two extensions that work together to improve your video watching experience by replacing the native video player controls on YouTube and other video sites with iOS's native controls. Opener: While not technically a Safari extension, this app allows you to choose which app opens when you click on a link, giving you more control over your browsing experience. Shortcuts Corner: Doug asks how to switch Apple Watch faces using Siri without having to confirm the action on his watch when his iPhone is locked. Rosemary walks through the process of ensuring the shortcut has the necessary permissions to run when the device is locked and troubleshoots potential issues Doug may be facing. If the "Allow Running When Locked" option is missing, Rosemary suggests resetting the shortcut's privacy settings or recreating the shortcut from scratch.

Microsoft Edge is the default web browser and PDF reader in Windows 11, and a modern and capable successor to the Internet Explorer browser of yesteryear. It's built on the same Chromium web platform that Google uses for Chrome, and it integrates more deeply with Windows and Microsoft online services–most notably Copilot–than other browsers. But Microsoft Edge is also a vector for some of the worst behaviors in Windows 11. For this reason, it's important to configure Microsoft Edge correctly, whether you expect to use it regularly or not. Host: Paul Thurrott Want access to the video version and exclusive features?

Welcome to the Big Glass Wars! That's right, just when you thought you'd heard it all, turns out there's hot competition among a few countries to stay on the cutting edge of optical astronomy, and to do that, you need a great big hunk of glass to gather light from distant galaxies and stellar systems. Enter the Carnegie Observatories and their partners on the Thirty Meter Telescope and the Giant Magellan Telescope. Both are currently under construction, and both are threatened by budget parsimony from the U.S. Congress. Dr. John Mulchaey, Director of the Carnegie Observatories, joins us to discuss what's happening, why it matters, and what you can do to help maintain U.S. leadership in astronomy, cosmology, and other STEM-related fields. Headlines: Boeing's Starliner launch to the ISS delayed again, this time due to a helium leak in the service module. The launch is now targeted for no earlier than May 21st. Blue Origin plans to conduct its first crewed suborbital flight since August 2022 on May 19th, carrying six passengers including the first Black astronaut candidate Ed Dwight. A massive sunspot caused spectacular auroras visible as far south as Alabama and turned skies purple and orange. More solar activity is expected as another large sunspot emerges. Main Topic: The Big Glass Wars with Dr. John Mulchaey Dr. Mulchaey provides an overview of the Carnegie Observatories, founded in 1904, and their historic telescopes at Mount Wilson that helped launch modern astronomy. He discusses the need for extremely large next-generation ground-based telescopes, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) and Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), to study earth-like exoplanets and the early universe. These ambitious segmented mirror telescopes will be 5-10 times larger than today's biggest telescopes and cost billions of dollars to construct. While substantial private funding has been raised, the projects need investment from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. government to be completed. However, the NSF has proposed only partial funding. Dr. Mulchaey emphasizes the importance of the U.S. having both telescope projects to provide full-sky coverage, double the observation time, and maintain the nation's leadership in astronomy research or risk losing top talent to competing projects in Europe and China. He notes that delaying a decision on full funding is causing the estimated costs to escalate as the projects are forced to wait. Dr. Mulchaey argues passionately that inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers by investing in these telescopes is critical for the country's future productivity and innovation.

Emily Dreibelbis from PCMag joins Mikah Sargent this week. Emily talks about Scarlett Johansson and OpenAI. Could generative AI be coming to Alexa in the future?

This week we've invited JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, Rob Manning, back to discuss Mars exploration and, in particular, Mars Sample Return. As we discussed in episode 107, that project is in a bit of trouble. Rob was the Chief Engineer of every Mars rover up through Perseverance and the overall Chief Engineer on Perseverance, and he has some unique insights on how we have explored Mars, why it matters, and what the future holds... especially with regard to returning samples to Earth. Join us! Headlines: NASA held a press conference to explain the latest delays with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which stem from issues with a helium leak and concerns about the reaction control thrusters that could lead to a loss of redundancy during reentry The European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope returned its first science images, providing stunning new views of galaxies never seen in such detail before to help unlock the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy Main Topic - Mars Exploration and Sample Return: Rob Manning recounts his extensive experience with Mars exploration at JPL, from the Sojourner rover and Pathfinder lander in the 90s to the currently operating Curiosity and Perseverance rovers Curiosity confirmed the past presence of water on Mars, while Perseverance is collecting carefully selected rock samples to eventually be returned to Earth The Mars Sample Return mission would bring pristine samples back to Earth for in-depth study, but is an extremely complex and costly endeavor facing budget challenges and potential delays Rob explains why returning samples is so critical - context is key and current meteorite samples have been altered by their journey to Earth, whereas carefully selected samples could reveal much more about Mars' history and potential for life Challenges for Mars Sample Return include the large size of the lander, the need for new parachute and guidance technologies, and planetary protection requirements to prevent contaminating Earth NASA currently has no plans for additional Mars missions beyond sample return, and faces a potential loss of institutional knowledge as a "quiet period" approaches, highlighting the need to maintain momentum in Mars exploration Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Rob Manning Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

In this episode of This Week in Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik discuss the latest updates on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, the potential for aurora sightings due to increased solar activity, and China's ambitious lunar exploration program with returning guest Mike Wall, Spaceflight Editor at Space.com. The conversation focuses on China's upcoming Chang'e 6 mission, its capabilities, and the implications of China's growing presence on the Moon. The hosts also touch upon the nationalistic aspects of the new space race between the United States and China. Headlines: Boeing's Starliner update: The spacecraft is ready for launch on June 1st, despite recent issues with parachutes, wiring, and helium leaks. Venus Exploration: Japan's Akatsuki probe, currently the only active mission at Venus, has lost contact with JAXA. However, NASA, ESA, and private companies like Rocket Lab are planning future missions to explore the planet. SpaceX Dragon capsule debris found in North Carolina: A piece of the trunk, about the size of a small coffee table, was discovered on a hiking trail. Increased solar activity may lead to Aurora sightings: A giant sunspot has returned, and its intense activity could trigger powerful Aurora displays. Main Topic - China's Lunar Ambitions and the New Space Race: Chang'e 6 Mission: China is set to launch the Chang'e 6 mission to the far side of the moon's southern polar region, with the goal of returning samples. The mission is part of China's ambitious lunar exploration program. International Collaboration: Although US-China collaboration is limited, Chang'e 6 includes contributions from France, Italy, Sweden, and Pakistan. Future Chinese Lunar Missions: China plans to launch Chang'e 7 in 2026, featuring an orbiter, rover, and a hopping robot, and Chang'e 8 in 2028, which will attempt 3D printing using lunar regolith. Artemis Accords and the Outer Space Treaty: As China and the US both aim to establish a presence on the moon, questions arise about territorial claims and the enforcement of the Outer Space Treaty. Space Race Rhetoric: Both the US and China have engaged in nationalistic rhetoric regarding their lunar ambitions, with concerns about China's potential to claim exclusive rights to lunar resources. Scientific Significance: Despite the geopolitical tensions, Chang'e 6 and future missions from both nations have the potential to greatly advance our understanding of the moon and its environment.

Dan Moren of Six Colors hosts the show with Abrar Al-Heeti while Mikah Sargent is out this week! Facebook is seeing a surge of young adults using its service. Zoom CEO Eric Yaun wants AI to attend meetings for you. What can we expect to be announced at WWDC24 on June 10th?

Well, we waited, we waffled, and we joked... but Boeing's Starliner finally made good! Seven or so years after their projected crewed flight date, the second provider of crew delivery to the International Space Station finally succeeded in sending two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, to the ISS. Despite a few problems with (sigh) valves, helium tanks, and thrusters, the mission appears to be going swimmingly. Then, just a day later, SpaceX launched a Starship on a fourth test flight with spectacular results--and may be ready for another test launch within a few weeks. All good news this week, and it feels like newspace just picked up a lot of steam. Join us! Headlines: China's Chang'e-6 mission successfully collected up to 2,000 grams of lunar samples from the far side of the moon and launched them back to Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope faces gyroscope issues, prompting NASA to use only one gyroscope to extend its lifespan until around 2035. A lava tube discovered on Mars near the Arsia Mons extinct volcano could potentially shelter future human habitats or host microbial life. A new star, "Blaze Star" T Coronae Borealis, may appear in the night sky between now and September, becoming the first visible nova since 1946. Main Topic - Starliner and Starship: Boeing's Starliner successfully launched, rendezvoused, and docked with the International Space Station, despite some thruster and cooling system issues. The mission marks the first time in decades that astronauts have launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on an Atlas V rocket. Starliner's reusability and cost per seat are compared to SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Russia's Soyuz spacecraft. SpaceX's Starship completed a successful test flight, with the Super Heavy booster and Starship vehicle performing well despite some heat shield damage during reentry. The hosts discuss the progress and challenges of Starship development, including the recent cancellation of Yusaku Maezawa's "dearMoon" mission. SpaceX's rapid launch cadence and plans for mass-producing Starship vehicles and engines are highlighted, along with the company's vision for catching Super Heavy boosters with the "Mechazilla" launch tower.

In this episode of Hands-On Mac, Mikah Sargent tackles the challenge of preventing your Mac from falling asleep during critical tasks. He begins by introducing the built-in "caffeinate" command in macOS, providing a step-by-step guide on how to use it to keep your Mac awake. Mikah explains the limitations of "caffeinate," such as its inconsistent performance and lack of advanced features. He then introduces Amphetamine, a robust third-party application available for free on the Mac App Store. Mikah provides a detailed walkthrough of Amphetamine's features, including its ability to start sessions that prevent sleep based on various criteria: indefinitely, for a set time, while specific apps are running, or during downloads. He explores the app's customization options, such as quick settings, session defaults, triggers, and hotkeys, highlighting how these features offer more control and flexibility compared to the "caffeinate" command. Mikah discusses practical use cases for Amphetamine, like ensuring your Mac stays awake during long downloads, presentations, or video calls. The episode concludes with Mikah emphasizing the benefits of using Amphetamine to manage your Mac's sleep behavior more effectively and encouraging listeners to try the app for themselves.

We're one week into the Copilot+ PC, and the feedback is positive with caution! Key takeaways so far: Much improved performance and reliability, AI features mostly stink, but there is still uncertainty each time you install/do anything. Windows 11 Week D arrives with preview updates for Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2 only The second Patch Tuesday in a row with no 24H2 update (on the day) This preview update adds 24H2 features to 22H2/23H2 as predicted Beta channel (last week): Bizarre Start menu extension for Phone Link users Release preview channel (last week): The 22H2/23H2 builds and features that shipped to stable as a preview update on Tuesday Canary channel (last week): After pausing the previous build (hint: Recall code), new build arrives with drag-and-drop address bar in File Explorer, notification tweaks Copilot+ PC Paul finally got a Copilot+ PC to test, a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x 14" App compatibility scorecard: Excellent, but with familiar Arm uncertainties Hardware compatibility: Excellent, but with the same person-by-person caveat Gaming: Lots of fiddling, but if you can find a compatible game, some great perf and visual quality. Still better than the Mac, and better than any x64 Ultrabook. But not a gaming PC. No Xbox Game Pass support?? COME ON In-box AI capabilities: With Recall out, there's almost nothing to see here Plus, Intel and AMD are gunning for Qualcomm iFixit reports that Surface Laptop 7/Pro 11 repairability is "astonishingly" good. Granted, the bar was low Microsoft brings Surface Flex Keyboard to Surface Pro 8, 9, and 11 Microsoft releases recovery images for Surface Pro 11/Laptop 7 Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-In Security (ESS) is one of several Copilot+ PC protections that rendered those security researcher complaints about Recall moot. But Paul now has two PCs that use this feature, and it's even more impressive than you think The Windows 11 decoder ring Antitrust As expected, the European Commission announced preliminary charges against Microsoft for Office/Teams bundling This is antitrust, not DMA (like Apple) The EU has not explained WHAT Microsoft can do to fix this (unlike with Apple) This is based on a complaint from Slack, which was created 7 years after Microsoft first offered this type of app/service Xbox -Hot off a terrific Xbox Games Showcase event, Xbox promises its "biggest-ever" booth at Gamescom 2024 (which is now the biggest trade show in Europe, apparently) -Microsoft details how Auto SR and Prism work in WOA11 to make gaming both possible and decent -Steam Deck LCD models are on sale Tips and Picks -App pick of the week #1: New browser upgrades -App pick of the week: Proton Drive -RunAs Radio this week: The Hard Part of Machine Learning with Lynn Langit -Brown liquor pick of the week: Cragganmore 12 Hosts: Paul Thurrott, Richard Campbell, and Mikah Sargent Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at https://twit.tv/clubtwit Check out Paul's blog at thurrott.com The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of Carl Franklin.

Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard check out the first set of winners and finalists of the Apple Design Awards 2024. They discuss apps and games that stood out in the categories of Delight and Fun, Inclusivity, Innovation, and Interaction, highlighting how these apps and games make the most of Apple's technologies and deliver exceptional experiences. Later in the Shortcuts Corner segment, Rosemary tackles a listener question about creating a medication reminder shortcut. Main Topic: Apple Design Award Winners - Part 1 Bears Gratitude (winner, Delight and Fun): A cute and colorful journaling app that encourages daily gratitude entries and self-care. NYT Games (winner, Delight and Fun): A comprehensive collection of games from the New York Times, including crosswords, Spelling Bee, Wordle, and more. Crayola Adventures (winner, Inclusivity): An adventure game for children that sets a new standard for inclusive character creation options. oko (winner, Inclusivity): An accessible navigation app that uses AI to provide detailed instructions and assistance for visually impaired users. Lost in Play (winner, Innovation): A beautifully drawn adventure game that feels like an interactive graphic novel. Procreate Dreams (winner, Innovation): A powerful drawing and illustration app that takes full advantage of the Apple Pencil and its features. Crouton (winner, Interaction): A feature-rich recipe manager and meal planner with unique interactions, such as using facial gestures to navigate recipes on iPhone and iPad. Rytmos (winner, Interaction): A clever puzzle game where solving mazes creates layered audio loops, resulting in a full musical composition. Shortcuts Corner: Listener Alex asks for help creating a shortcut to remind his father-in-law to take medication every five hours, without disturbing him during the night. Rosemary explains that while it's not possible to directly log medication in the Health app, a close solution can be achieved. She suggests adding an icon to the home screen that, when tapped, logs the medication as taken and sets a reminder for the next dose. The shortcut should also disable any existing medication reminders and avoid setting reminders during the father-in-law's sleeping hours. Rosemary walks through the process of creating the shortcut using actions like Find Alarms, Adjust Date, and If statements.

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: Mission Accomplished 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... 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) Video encoding performance: Snapdragon X vs Snapdragon X vs Core Ultra 9 H-series vs MacBook Air M3 Initial thoughts on battery life and then More thoughts on battery life. The Yoga Slim 9x and Surface Laptop both get about 10 hours of real-world battery life (so far), compared to 15 hours for the MacBook Air 15-inch M3. Hardware compatibility update: Only one of my devices doesn't work, the Focusrite.

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! Headlines: Chinese rocket startup Space Pioneer accidentally launched a rocket during a static ground test, highlighting the unpredictable nature of rocketry. 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. 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. Main Topic - Understanding the Darkness: 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. The universe's composition, with dark matter and dark energy making up 95% of its content. 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. The differences between dark matter and dark energy, their effects on the universe's structure, and the challenges in studying them. The "cosmological crisis" or Hubble tension, which arises from discrepancies between early and late universe measurements. 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. The potential need for new physics to explain current observations is explored, with the guests expressing excitement about the possibility of groundbreaking discoveries. Exoplanet research: discussing how the Roman Space Telescope will use microlensing and coronagraphy techniques to detect and study distant worlds. 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. Finally, a lighthearted discussion of the guests' personal lives and travel experiences, highlighting the balance between their professional and family commitments.

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. Look out below; this is going to be a hot one!

CrowdStrike: Terrible name, terrible outage CrowdStrike, a company no one has ever heard of, ships an update that borks Windows PCs, servers, and clouds services at the heart of the worldʼs infrastructure. Naturally, everyone blamed Microsoft at first Microsoft says outage impacted under 1 percent of PCs. It was just the worst PCs imaginable Microsoft blames EU regulation for its inability to be like Apple That is not a good look. It's also deceptive. Microsoft issues repair tool (later updates). CrowdStrike explains what it did wrong. TLDR: everything. Windows Windows 11 version 23H2 is fully available! Wait, what? Surface Laptop 7 review: big, heavy, no presence sensing or fingerprint reader. Right, I love it. Also, the ThinkPad T14s arrived. Related: Intel cops to mistake in Core Gen 13/14 processors, will issue fix. Why this is unprecedented. And also precedented. Also, why precedented is a word. Microsoft is FINALLY bringing ads to the Microsoft Store search box. Microsoft starts testing new Start menu layouts. Surely one of them has live tites. Canary build today: Duplicate File Explorer tab, not much else. AI/Antitrust Meta is making a surprising—and surprisingly strong—case for AI as open-source. Proton adds an AI writing assistant to its Drive-based Docs. Amazon lost an alleged $25 billion on Alexa devices over four years, so itʼs all in on AI-based devices now! (Panos Panay is the perfect fit for this business if the goal is to be unprofitable). Google effectively kills Privacy Sandbox in a victory for regulation. Microsoft probably cleared the final hurdle to avoid EU antitrust action on cloud licensing. Hey, it worked with security companies and the Windows kernel! It's That Time of the Quarter Again Alphabet / Google: Double-digit revune gains YOY, but how much of this is AI? Subscription services (Netflix, Spotify, not so much Game Pass) are KILLING it,but theyʼre also in full-on enshirtification mode - how do we fix this? Can we fix this. Xbox FTC complains about Xbox Game changes. They're not wrong. But they're not right either. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III lands on Game Pass today - what the what Also, Microsoft muffed the landing badly - but it appears to be working now Halo TV series canceled. It's the worst thing that's happened with Xbox this entire year Tips and Picks Tip of the week: The best thing about Copilot in Windows 11 now With Copilot switching from a pane to an app, thereʼs an unintended benefit that comes into play when you use an AI PC with a Copilot key on it. Youʼre never going to believe what happens next. App pick of the week: Microsoft Designer for image generation Microsoft Designer exited preview last week and thereʼs at least one secret benefit to using it: Unlike Copilot, you can create wide and portrait images (and not just square) without paying. This is why I pay for Copilot Pro. (You do need to sign in with an MSA, however.)

There has been another sighting of Google's Topics API, this time on Android phones. It allows apps to get information about users' interests based on recent app usage. Apple has opened up their iPhones to security researchers through their Security Research Device program since 2019. Researchers get access to customize kernels, entitlements, and other low-level features without compromising security. Research reveals vulnerabilities in browser extensions that allow them to steal plaintext passwords from a website's HTML source code. Even sites like Google, Facebook, Amazon, IRS, and Capital One are affected. Feedback from listeners on topics like Apple's stance on scanning iCloud data for CSAM, Microsoft's broken TLS timestamp implementation, using VirusTotal to check downloaded files, ReadSpeed limitations, and downloading malware for VirusTotal checks. Apple publicly shares a letter from a CSAM activist demanding they implement scanning to detect child abuse images in iCloud Photos. Apple responds clearly stating they will not compromise user privacy and security to do so.
