At this point, can anyone compete with SpaceX? Love him or hate him, Elon Musk and his cadre of very talented employees and partners have built the most remarkable launch service in history, increasing the US launch rate from a handful to over 100 per year in less than a decade. Eric Berger--Senior Space Editor at Ars Technica and author of "Liftoff" and "Reentry," two books about Musk and SpaceX--joins us. We discuss the rise of SpaceX, Musk's future in US politics and the market, and what to expect from SpaceX in the next decade. We also look at the possible competitors to SpaceX's dominance in the market. Join us!
Get "Reentry" (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/4fe4f5s

On Halloween, the last day of October, Microsoft delayed Recall again. It was supposed to preview in October, this is the third delay. No clear reason why. December now, supposedly. Plus, Paul gives an earnings recap that he didn't get to dive into much last week.
Windows
- New 24H2 bug
- More features coming to Prism emulator in Windows 11 on Arm (!)
- New generative AI features are coming to Paint, Photos, and Notepad
- Beta channel: Here's the new Windows Hello experience, with explicit references to passkeys
- Proton VPN is native on Windows 11 on Arm
- Windows Server 2025 is GA (and some are being mistakenly force-upgraded. This is what you get when you share a codebase with Windows 11, apparently)
- Google shifts Android development cycle - Major update each Q2, minor update each Q4, monthly feature/quality updates
A Tale of 2 Chips
- Paul reviewed the AMD Zen 5-based HP OmniBook Ultra, it's awesome. Paul is also reviewing an Intel Lunar Lake laptop, and it is not awesome
- Early glee around Lunar Lake was misplaced
- Laptop reviewers all report what Paul is seeing (for once), that the performance is horrific. You need to switch to "Best performance" power management mode for reasonable performance, but this hasn't solved all the issues
- COD: Black Ops 6. Average FPS under Zen 5 is 90 to 120 at native resolution/medium graphics, single and multi-player. Lunar Lake? 40 FPS with all graphics settings on low/very low
- Intel now says Lunar Lake is a one-off too (Meteor Lake was likewise a one-off, architecturally). It will no longer package RAM with processors because of margins. Lunar Lake rushed to market and was key contributor to recent financial issues
More Earnings Learnings
- Amazon: $159 billion in revenues, $27.5 billion for AW
- Apple: $95 billion in revenues, a small uptick in iPhone revenues
Microsoft 365/AI
- Some curious/confusing moves with Microsoft 365 for consumers: subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand are getting Copilot Pro credits with base subscription (Word, Excel, etc.), Designer, ... and the long-overdue and dreaded price increase
- This must be a test for the U.S. and western Europe. Feels inevitable
- OpenAI launches ChatGPT Search. This is not the Google Search replacement you're looking for
Xbox
- It's November, so here's the incredible list of Activision Blizzard games now coming to Game Pass! Just kidding, but we are getting Flight Sim 2024
- Microsoft introduced an AI-powered support virtual agent to Xbox because something something AI
- Switch sales drop off a cliff, Nintendo will announce backward-compatible successor before the end of March
- Sony launches the PS5 Pro to meh
Tips and Picks
- Tip of the week: Windows 11 minus the MSA
- App pick of the week: Docs in Proton Drive
- RunAs Radio this week: Software-Defined Networking using Azure Firewall with Aidan Finn
- Brown liquor MOVIE pick of the week: Whisky Galore

On Hands-On Tech, Mikah answers questions about adjusting a setting within the Google Maps app, whether there's a difference in audio and video quality between a Roku TV and an Amazon Fire stick, what music players will work for Android to play all the songs of an individual artist, getting legacy hardware to connect to an iPhone hotspot, and what passkeys are!
- Martin-Guy is a retired cyclist who uses Google Maps while cycling. However, the cycling times reference speed within the app is too fast for him. He's looking for a way to adjust that setting if possible or if there's an alternative app he can use that would allow him to make such an adjustment.
- Michael owns a 4K TCL Roku TV and the most recent Amazon Fire TV Stick. Is there a difference in audio or video quality between the Roku TV and the Amazon Fire TV Stick?
- Lane just got a Pixel 9 Pro and stores his music in a folder on the device. He uses an app called Musicolet as his player and wants to know if there's a way to play all the songs of a selected artist in shuffle mode or if there's another app that can do this.
- Jon is trying to connect older "legacy" hardware to his iPhone hotspot but is having trouble doing this and wonders if Mikah knows of any tricks to get this older hardware to connect to the hotspot.
- Todd has heard Mikah talk about Passkeys on the TWiT network many times in the past. However, he doesn't understand what a passkey is and asks Mikah for any insight he can share about passkeys.

The Windows 11 Out of Box Experience (OOBE) is part of Windows 11 Setup, and it's the first thing you will see when you purchase a new Windows 11-based PC and turn it on for the first time. The Windows 11 OOBE is similar to that from Windows 10, but it has been visually refreshed to match the Windows 11 look and feel. And it has been updated several times since the initial release of Windows 11. What you see here will vary a bit from PC to PC, but here's a quick rundown of the most common interfaces.

Many of us have visited the various displays of space shuttles around the US, and it's always a spectacular sight. The shuttle orbiter was huge, and seeing in any configuration is inspirational. Notably, the California Science Center is completing a display of the Endeavor in a launch configuration, which is unique among shuttle installations. But the very first shuttle mockup ever constructed will soon go on public display in its birthplace in Southern California, the city of Downey. This is where North American Rockwell, the builder of all the shuttles, was located until they were absorbed by Boeing decades ago. It was in the Rockwell facility that the first wood-and-aluminum mockup of the shuttle was built, and it's been stored until this day under the control of the Columbia Memorial Space Center. Of special interest: besides its uses as a technical simulator, this mockup was what closed the deal between NASA and Rockwell to build the shuttles and inspired many in Congress to support the program. The museum's Executive Director and President, Ben Dickow, joins us to talk about this magnificent, full-sized shuttle mockup, its history, and future plans.
Headlines:
• SpaceX's Crew-8 mission returned to Earth after a record-breaking 235 days in space, but one crew member remains in the hospital for additional medical checks
• Boeing's Intelsat satellite broke up in geosynchronous orbit, creating around 5,000 pieces of space debris, posing potential long-term threats to other satellites
• India announced plans for Chandrayaan-4, a lunar sample return mission targeting the Moon's south pole in 2027-2028
• Chinese company Deep Blue Aerospace aims to start offering space tourist flights by 2027 on a suborbital rocket and capsule that resembles a hybrid of SpaceX's Dragon and Blue Origin's New Shepard
Main Topic - Interview with Ben Dickow:
• The Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey, California houses Inspiration, a full-scale wooden mock-up of the space shuttle built by Rockwell International in 1972
• Inspiration was used as an engineering tool and to help secure the shuttle contract for Rockwell, impressing both NASA and Congressional leaders who visited
• The mock-up features highly detailed interiors, including a crew cabin, flight deck, and cargo bay
• After being mothballed for years, Inspiration was recently moved to the Columbia Memorial Space Center for display in a new building
• Southern California will soon have the first and last space shuttles on display, with Inspiration in Downey and Endeavour in Los Angeles
• Ben emphasizes the importance of preserving the shuttle's history and using it as an educational tool to inspire future generations of engineers and scientists
• The emotional power of seeing a space shuttle up close and the human stories behind its creation are key to the exhibit's impact

In this gem, owner Steve turned a spare bedroom into a beautiful home theater. His unique masking system is ingenious, as is the swing-out screen that lets him access the speakers and the back of the equipment rack. It has only three seats, but this theater is an exemplar of what can be done with a small space.

It's another week of big Linux news, starting with a new Ardour release, that one of our hosts had a tiny part in. The Winamp source release has been a trainwreck, Cloudflare spills the tea on their newest servers, and Valve is shaking things up. Proton may be adding support for Arm64 gaming, Valve engineers are laying down a challenge to Wayland, and a new DXVK is out with a bunch of fixes. And don't forget, we have in-depth coverage of the big "9.9" Linux vulnerability that turned out to be not quite that severe. For tips we have weather on the command line, protontricks for fixing Steam games, and xxd for generating some random hex. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/4epi7to and we'll see you next time!

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

Emily Dreibelbis joins Mikah Sargent this week on Tech News Weekly! X released its first transparency report since Elon Musk took over the company. Initial impressions of Meta's Orion AR prototype glasses. And Microsoft has released a new tool that can reportedly correct incorrect AI-generated text.
- Emily Dreibelbis talks about how X has released its first transparency report following Elon Musk's purchase of the social media company. Why did X finally release the report after skipping last year?
- Scott Stein of CNET is reporting from the Meta campus in Palo Alto! He had the chance to try Meta's new Orion AR glasses prototype and share his initial thoughts.
- And Mikah Sargent shares a new tool Microsoft has released that can reportedly correct AI-generated text that generates incorrect information. However, the tool has some skepticism about when it attempts to fix it; it can generate more inaccurate information.

Devon Island, a polar desert in the High Arctic, is one of the most convincing Mars analogs on Earth. That's why Pascal Lee built his NASA-affiliated research base there. On this episode he returns to discuss his summer field work, Martian volcanoes, and to discuss possible alternatives to NASA's plans for the Artemis lunar base.There's a lot to know, and he brings deep passion—and some controversy—to the conversation!
Headlines:
- Polaris Dawn mission success: The crew completed the first-ever commercial spacewalk, with all four members exposed to the vacuum of space.
- SpaceX FAA dispute: The company faces potential fines of $630,000 for alleged launch violations, leading to a heated exchange between SpaceX and the FAA.
- Mars volcano discovery: Researchers found evidence of a 1000-mile wide magma plume under Olympus Mons, raising questions about potential volcanic activity on Mars.
Main Topic - Lunar Exploration and Artemis Program:
- Dr. Pascal Lee's summer research at the Haughton-Mars Project Field Station: The team tested drilling equipment for future lunar missions and explored the use of drones for Mars helicopter simulations.

Now we have another choice when it comes to de-enshittifying Windows 11 in situ, if you will, or after you're already up and running. This one is not a typical app, however. It's a command-line script, written with PowerShell, that works with both Windows 10 and 11. And while I understand some are nervous about command lines, and even more nervous about scripts that need to be run with admin privileges so they can change your PC's configuration–both completely understandable–you should at least examine this thing. It's incredibly useful.

Starliner is back and, by all accounts, could have returned with its crew had it been necessary. However, with NASA's "safety forward" approach prevailing, the spacecraft landed uncrewed on September 6, three months after it docked with the International Space Station. Now, the work begins to try to solve the problems- largely software changes, dealing with balky thrusters, and helium leaks- so that the Starliner Crew 1 can fly next year. But how did we get here? What's NASA's take on the latest Starliner mission? And, perhaps above all, how will Boeing approach the program moving ahead? We'll bring you the latest and greatest--and fear not, we have Tariq here to keep us fair--on what's going on with Boeing's Starliner CST-100 spacecraft.
Headlines
• For the first time, a commercial crew flew above low Earth orbit on SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission, setting records for the highest spaceflight by female astronauts and the first commercial spacewalk by anyone.
• The FAA says it won't clear SpaceX's Starship Flight 5 from Boca Chica, Texas until November due to environmental concerns, frustrating SpaceX as they aim to conduct orbital refueling tests and prepare for lunar missions.
Starliner's Return and Future
• Boeing's Starliner spacecraft finally returned on September 6th, three months after it launched, facing challenges such as thruster overheating, and in some cases outright fgailure, and a GPS dropout during reentry.
• Rod and Tariq discuss the cultural differences between Boeing and SpaceX, with SpaceX embracing a more iterative, failure-tolerant approach that allowed them to innovate faster.
• They debate whether Boeing's traditional aerospace culture and cost-cutting measures contributed to Starliner's issues and examined the effects of the company's lack of transparency during the mission.
• Despite the challenges, Starliner demonstrated its ability to survive an extended mission and NASA remains confident that Boeing will fly out its Commercial Crew contract.
• The future of Starliner may involve private missions to upcoming commercial space stations, but standardizing spacesuits across different spacecraft will be crucial for crew safety.
• While Starliner faced setbacks, Rod and Tariq emphasize the importance of having multiple crew transportation systems to ensure continuous access to space.

Each year, there are a handful of impressive meteor showers, and one of the largest and best this year will be the Perseids. The quarter moon will set just before midnight, when the shower activity peaks, and if you're in a dark spot expect to see maybe 50-60 shooting stars per hour. Steve Fentress, veteran astronomer and planetarium director, joins us to provide viewing tips, a meteor shower, and star lore over the ages, and more.
Headlines: Starliner
- Boeing's Starliner spacecraft continues to face issues, with some experts questioning whether the program will continue after the current mission
- NASA's recent press conferences regarding Starliner have been criticized for lack of clarity and transparency
- SpaceX's Crew Dragon may become the sole provider of crew transportation to the International Space Station if Starliner's problems persist
Main Topic: The Perseid Meteor Shower
- The Perseid meteor shower, peaking around August 12th, is expected to be especially impressive this year due to favorable moon conditions
- Observers can expect to see up to one or two meteors per minute under dark sky conditions
- The Perseids are created by debris left behind by comet 109P Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the sun every 133 years
- Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli first identified the connection between the Perseids and comet Swift-Tuttle in the 19th century
- The colors observed in meteors are caused by different chemical elements in the meteoroids and Earth's atmosphere
- Steve Fentress shares the fascinating history of meteor shower observations and their connection to comets
- Tips for observing the Perseids include finding a dark location, dressing warmly, and watching the sky between 3 AM and dawn
- The future of planetariums lies in becoming valuable community resources and embracing new technologies to create engaging experiences for visitors
- Steve Fentress discusses his book "Sky to Space" and his new podcast, "The Forgotten Bookshelf," which features interesting and obscure topics from old books

It's the last Windows Weekly in the TWiT Eastside Studio! The Week D mystery continues in this episode. And Windows Insider has had a relatively quiet week. Intel is in trouble, with stock price dropping over 25 percent! WordStar is back, but the big news here is the documentation archive. Also, Paul thinks the improved Reader mode in Firefox 129 is pretty sweet.
Windows 11
- Last week, Microsoft issued Week D update for 22H2/23H2 late
- Last week, Microsoft issued 24H2 build to the Release Preview channel but nothing for Week D. Paul speculated this would replace the Weed D update, head to stable in August
- Since then, Microsoft quietly issued Week D update for 24H2 one week late (on last day of July)
- Speculation was correct: These are all the same thing, with the same new features, most CFRs
- Microsoft's release schedule gets even more chaotic. It's been missing the Week D Tuesday release schedule more often than not in recent months
- BIG update to the Microsoft Store in Canary and Dev today
Hardware

- AMD's new chips are getting rave reviews

- Stock price drop second worst in corporate history
- Intel extends Core processor Gen 13/14 warranty by 2 years (PC bundles only)
- Core processor warranty is extended to retail sales
- Surface Laptop 7, Surface Pro 11 for Business available for preorder
Microsoft 365
- The new Outlook is now generally available and the Microsoft community celebrates in the streets
Antitrust/Corporate
- Google found guilty of abusing its Search monopoly
- Big point: Google's revenue share deals with Apple, etc. Could this kill Mozilla?
- Microsoft and Bing come up over 500 times (!) in the ruling. Obsessed much?
- Apple would like to have its antitrust case dismissed. Good luck with that
- Context: The paradox of antitrust
- Thanks to Manifest V3, ad- and tracker- blocking in Chrome is going to get less effective
- Microsoft: We are STILL serious about security. No, really
- Arm revenues up 39 percent to $939 million
- Qualcomm up 11 precent to $9.4 billion
- Apple up 4.9 percent to 85.8 billion in revenues
- Amazon up 10 percent to $148 billion

- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, more comes to Xbox Game Pass
- Sony sold 2.4 million PS5s in the quarter, total at 61.7 million

It's been said that Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, and that's certainly the assertion of the popular 2023 book, "A City on Mars" by Kelly and Zack Weinersmith. In fact, they question the future of settling humans off Earth in its entirety. Certainly, it will be challenging, but is it impossible? Are there reasons we should not go? We gathered together two of our favorite experts on the topic, Dale Skran, the COO and SVP of the National Space Society, and Mr. YouTube himself, Isaac Arthur—who has produced maybe 100 hours or more of well-regarded videos on the subject—to discuss the book and our prospects for rational, realistic space settlement plans. Join us!
- "A City on Mars" takes a skeptical and humorous look at space settlement, questioning our readiness for having children in space, building space farms, and creating independent space nations.
- Dale Skran wrote a comprehensive 40,000-word review of the book, acknowledging its depth while disagreeing with many of its conclusions. He believes the book represents the current stage of opposition to the increasingly realistic prospect of space settlement.
- The hosts discuss the potential benefits and resources available in space, with Dale and Isaac emphasizing the vast opportunities and the need for reasonable regulation to facilitate space development.
- The challenges of human reproduction in space are examined, with the hosts agreeing on the importance of further research and the need for artificial gravity experiments on space stations.
- The potential for conflict and war in space is explored, with Dale arguing that space settlements will likely be more resilient and less vulnerable than Earth-based cities due to their designed defenses against natural and artificial threats.
- The hosts critique the book's pessimistic view of space settlement and its suggestion to wait centuries until humanity has solved all its problems before venturing into space. They argue that space development and solving Earth's issues can and should happen concurrently.
- Dale Skran highlights an interesting idea from the book: the possibility of a dual life cycle for settlers, with reproduction occurring in 1G spin gravity settlements while adults spend much of their time working in low-gravity environments like the Moon or Mars.

On this episode of Windows Weekly, the show has a new yet similar look (as Leo tries to read chyrons that may be a tad tiny). Microsoft announces its quarterly (and annual) financial results. They're doing OK. The company also expands on what it has done and will do, with Windows security in the wake of the CrowdStrike outage. Finally, Paul advises that the password manager in a browser isn't enough, as secure users need more capabilities like 2FA code generation, dark web monitoring, passkey storage, and more.
Earnings
- Microsoft announces its quarterly (and annual) financial results. They're doing OK.
- Microsoft's FY24: a net income of $88.1 billion on revenues of $245.1 billion, up 22 percent and 16 percent
- Windows - Barely mentioned, another solid $10 billion+ in revenues, no gain from Copilot+ PC
- Office - Solid growth, mostly commercial
- Surface - Flush twice, it's a long way to New Mexico
- Xbox - Problematic, propped up mostly by Activision, but there are huge costs there too

A nova is a star that periodically sheds mass in a huge flare-up of light and energy. This week, astrophysicist Dr. Carlos Badenes from the University of Pittsburgh joins us to discuss a star that should be going nova in the next few weeks--and will be visible in the night sky for about 6-7 days! T Corona Borealis (TCrB) is a binary system comprising two stars in the constellation Corona Borealis that bursts into magnitude 2 (as seen from Earth) about every 80 years--and should do so again by mid-September! Join us.
Headlines:
- NASA's Perseverance rover discovers a rock on Mars that shows intriguing signs of potential ancient microbial life, sparking excitement among scientists
- Starliner Update: NASA and Boeing discuss the extended mission of the Starliner spacecraft, addressing concerns and highlighting the crew's safety and productivity
- Scientists uncover evidence suggesting Mercury's crust harbors a 10-mile thick diamond layer, formed by unique planetary processes
Main Topic - The Visible Nova in the Sky Near You:
- T Coronae Borealis, a recurring nova located in the constellation Corona Borealis, is expected to become visible to the naked eye between now and September 2024
- Novae are binary star systems where a white dwarf accumulates material from its companion star, leading to a thermonuclear runaway and a bright outburst
- Supernovae, in contrast, are the explosive deaths of stars, either through the complete disruption of a white dwarf or the collapse of a massive star's core
- Historical accounts of "new stars" include Tycho's Supernova (1572), Kepler's Supernova (1604), and the Crab Nebula progenitor (1054)
- Dr. Badenes discusses his research on novae in nearby galaxies and the use of the Hubble Space Telescope to study the progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae
- The crew explores the limits of recurring novae, the possibility of a white dwarf exploding as a Type Ia supernova, and the anticipated supernova of the star Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion

When Roku pushed its latest OS update to TCL Roku TVs, it enabled frame interpolation to make moving objects look sharper. But it also causes the dreaded "soap-opera effect," which video purists and filmmakers hate. Worst of all, there seems to be no way to turn it off.

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.)

- The hosts emphasize the significance of the Apollo 11 mission and argue for July 20th to be recognized as a national holiday.
Artemis Program and the Future of Space Exploration:
- Rod and Tariq express frustration with the slow progress of the Artemis program compared to the rapid pace of the Apollo missions.
- They discuss the potential impact of the upcoming U.S. presidential election on NASA's funding and priorities, particularly in light of the growing competition with China in space.

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!
Headlines:
- SpaceX Falcon 9 launch failure investigation underway after engine explosion during upper stage relight
- James Webb Space Telescope celebrates 2nd anniversary with new "Cosmic Penguin" image
- Boeing Starliner return date still uncertain as NASA and Boeing review data
Mailbag:
- Zaheer Mohammed congratulates the National Space Society's Ad Astra magazine on winning the Marcom Awards in 2023
Main Topic: Orbital Debris Discussion with Dr. John Crassidis
- Orbital debris defined as anything in space that is no longer useful, ranging from paint flakes to rocket bodies
- Debris moves at extremely high speeds (17,500 mph), making collisions highly destructive
- Kessler Syndrome: cascading collisions could render low Earth orbit unusable within 50 years if debris growth is not slowed
- Approximately 47,000 tracked objects softball-size or larger, with millions more smaller pieces
- Challenges in tracking debris due to limited coverage, object tumbling, and modeling uncertainties
- Ownership and responsibility for debris removal complicated by lack of international agreements
- Current remediation techniques not feasible due to cost and technological limitations
- Urgent need for debris mitigation through international cooperation and improved satellite design
- Future threats extend beyond low Earth orbit, with debris already accumulating around the Moon
- Importance of investing in research to develop effective debris removal technologies

With the introduction of the first Snapdragon X-based Copilot+ PCs this past week, Microsoft has added another layer of complexity to the Windows ecosystem. Or, another layer of choice, if you're more of the glass half-full type. Regardless, this addition is confusing to many, as it's unclear which software or hardware you need to access the many new features that Windows 11 users will get this year and beyond. This week, Paul takes a first look at one of these laptops.

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.

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.
- Surface Laptop 7 first impressions and second impressions
- HP Elitebook Ultra first impressions
Windows 11
- After skipping Week D last Tuesday, Microsoft belatedly delivers a Week D preview update for Windows 11 version 24H2
- No new features, so next Patch Tuesday will be light for 24H2
- 22H2 and 23H2 got a big Week D update last Tuesday, so Patch Tuesday will be meaningful
- As of July's Patch Tuesday, 22H2, 23H2, and 24H2 will all provide the same basic feature set
- Canary, Dev, Beta (last Friday): nothing exciting, a few small features or changes
AI & Microsoft 365
- European Commission "shifts" investigation of Microsoft/OpenAI partnership. Is Ken Starr in charge of this thing?
- Microsoft highlights new Copilot features coming to Microsoft 365 in July
- Copilot in OneNote can now recognize handwritten text. It's 2002 all over again!
- Pixel 9 family will promote unique "Google AI" features
- Brave introduces a BYOM plan for its web browser
- Thanks to AI, Google Translate now supports 110 new languages
Xbox
- Xbox Cloud Gaming Fire Sticks it to Amazon
- Another two weeks of Xbox Game Pass
- Forza Horizon 4 (from 2018) to be delisted December 15. Why?
Tips and Picks
- Tip of the week: Get $10 off Tony Redmond's Office 365 for IT Pros 11th Edition
- App pick of the week: Docs in Proton Drive
- RunAs Radio this week: NGINX as a Service with Buu Lam

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

The passwords we use to protect our online accounts are insecure and easily compromised. 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. The ultimate goal is to eliminate passwords all-together: In this passwordless world, we can authenticate–prove who we are–using methods that are more secure and easier than typing a password.

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.

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.

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

We see the sun every day as it rises and sets... it's one of the few constants in life. But it's a very dynamic body, throwing minor temper tantrums regularly. As it happens, we're at the peak of its 11-year cycle of activity and there's a lot going on! Dr. Alex Young, the Associate Director for Science in the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, joins us to talk about the sun, solar activity cycles, the recent solar storms that have given us auroras and some communications blackouts, the science from the Parker solar probe, and much more.

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.

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 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.

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

In this episode of iOS Today, Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard discuss their experiences with Apple's newly released M4 iPad Pros and accessories. They cover the new features and improvements, including the OLED display, updated design, Magic Keyboard with function keys, and the new Apple Pencil Pro. Rosemary also addresses a listener's question about creating a shortcut to quickly access downtime settings on a Mac.
M4 iPad Pros:
• The new iPad Pros have an OLED display, offering improved contrast and color reproduction
• Storage options include 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, with higher-tier models having more RAM and an extra performance core.
• The Magic Keyboard has been updated with a function row, haptic trackpad, and all-new hardware design.
• The Apple Pencil Pro introduces haptic feedback, a programmable squeeze gesture, and a "barrel roll" feature for adjusting brush/tool shape based on pencil orientation
• Apps like Freeform and GoodNotes are being updated to support the new Apple Pencil Pro capabilities
• Availability varies by model, and waiting for refurbished units or discounts may be beneficial
Shortcuts Corner:
• A listener asks for a way to quickly access downtime settings on their children's Macs
• Rosemary creates a shortcut using the Mac's System Preferences URL scheme to open the downtime settings directly
• She recommends adding the shortcut to the Mac's menu bar for easy access
• While it's not possible to toggle downtime automatically with a shortcut due to security concerns, this method still streamlines the process of adjusting the settings

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.

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.

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.

We're talking about Google's layoffs and how it affects Flutter and Dart, then AMD is working to push AMF code into FFMPEG, and it's time for Open Source to grow up. RHEL has an AI offering, NVidia is suggesting Open Source kernel drivers, and Zed is coming to Linux. Then there's Pi Connect pulling a Sherlock, KDE working on color management, and a bit of a history lesson on where we came from. For tips, we have the Radion TUI radio player, || : to ignore errors in a script, the Mixxx DJ app for all those underground raves, and PanWriter for markup editing.

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

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.

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.

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

- 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

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.
- China's Shenzhou 18 and Tiangong Space Station: China successfully launches Shenzhou 18 to the Tiangong Space Station, which was recently hit by space debris, prompting China to revamp its space debris management strategies.
- International Partnerships for Lunar Research: China announces new international partnerships for its International Lunar Research Station, contrasting its progress with NASA's Artemis Accords.
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.
- Closing Thoughts: Rod and Tariq wrap up with final thoughts on the importance of the Starliner mission for Boeing and NASA, discussing potential outcomes and what they signify for the future of commercial spaceflight.

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.

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

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. See the show notes at https://bit.ly/4aqmu5a and we hope to see you next time!

Unless you've been living under a rock or in Barstow, you probably know all about the solar eclipse on Monday. Rod will be going to Austin, likely to be staring at ever-darkening clouds, and Tariq will be headed to the eclipse path in the Northeast. Where will you be? On today's episode, we're talking to astronomer and meteorologist Joe Rao about the solar eclipse of 2024--what is it, where the moon's shadow cross Earth, how can you maximize what you see (or don't see), and how to view partial phases safely. This last bit is important, and we're going to give you an earful about "solar safety"--the effects of improper viewing can be catastrophic. And, of course, Rod's bringing a terrible eclipse-oriented space joke! Join us.

- Space Junk Hits a Florida Home: A story of a mysterious cylinder, believed to be part of a NASA battery pallet jettisoned from the ISS, crashing through a Florida man's home, illustrating the unpredictable nature of space debris re-entry.
Main Topic: The Solar Eclipse of 2024
- Introduction to Joe Rao: Introduction of Joe Rao, his background, and his excitement for the upcoming eclipse, his 14th total solar eclipse viewing.
- Eclipse Overview: Joe provides an in-depth look at the upcoming solar eclipse, discussing its path across North America, from Mexico through the United States to Canada, and highlighting its significance compared to past eclipses.
- Viewing Tips: Discussion on safe viewing practices, including the importance of using certified eclipse glasses and other methods to safely observe the eclipse without damaging one's eyes.
- Weather Considerations: Joe offers advice on how to choose the best viewing locations based on weather patterns and suggests resources for last-minute location adjustments to avoid cloud cover.
- Personal Stories and Plans: Tariq shares his plans to view the eclipse with his family, emphasizing the personal significance and communal aspect of experiencing such a rare event.
- Final Thoughts and Advice: The episode wraps up with Joe stressing the unparalleled experience of witnessing a total solar eclipse firsthand, urging listeners not to miss the opportunity to be in the path of totality.

Doc Searls, Dan Lynch, and Jonathan Bennett talk about what happens when open source companies get too big for the licenses that helped them get there, and how their communities are dealing with that.

- Canonical's tight control over the LXD container management project, pulling it back in-house from the open source community which led to a community fork being created called Incus.
- Companies like MongoDO and Hashicorp are moving away from open source licenses towards "source available" licenses like the Business Source License (BSL) that restrict commercial use.
- There are growing concerns around using AI-generated code from tools like GitHub Copilot, and whether copyright and licensing restrictions carry over.

For decades, all the planets of the solar system had been reconnoitered—except Pluto. That last planetary body had been seen, at best, as just a faint smudge by the Hubble Space Telescope. Then, in 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft sped by Pluto, sending back a swath of exciting images and science data, transforming our view of the planet. It subsequently visited the Kuiper Belt object Arrakoth and may rendezvous with another, more distant body—or not. NASA's new budget seems to spell the end of active science for New Horizons, something that does not sit well with the program's Principal Investigator, Dr. Alan Stern. Join Alan as he speaks with us about this very exciting project and what it may take to keep it alive.

Not all asteroids are created equal, and 16 Psyche, one of the largest, is extremely dense in metals, making it unique. Is the 140-mile giant the leftover core of a failed planet, or a more recent gravitational accretion of metal-rich bodies? Will it help us to understand how metallic cores—like Earth's—form and function? NASA's sending a spacecraft, also called Pysche, to find out. The mission is led by Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton, who joins Rod and bestselling author Daniel Suarez to explain what makes Psyche—both the asteroid and the mission—so fascinating.

Microsoft/FTC hearings reveal numerous details about the Xbox business
- The FTC's economist could not explain how the acquisition would actually harm competition
- The FTC bungled its questioning of Phil Spencer so badly that he had to explain how mergers work to the agency.
- Microsoft decided to pursue AB after it learned that Sony was paying publishers to skip Xbox and that it was trying to make Starfield exclusive to PlayStation
- A Bethesda executive asked Phil Spencer why AB was so different, noting that some Bethesda titles became Xbox exclusives
- Phil Spencer says that Microsoft "expects" Xbox to be profitable, but he never said that it ever was. Its continual third-place finishes in the console market is what kicked off Microsoft's game studio buying spree: Sony was outspending it on exclusives
- Phil Spencer also admitted to what I think is Xbox's biggest failure, it's lack of an "organic" strategy for mobile.
- Spencer: there is no native Minecraft on PS5 because Sony. (Related: if Microsoft buys AB, Sony will not give AB advanced access to PS6)
- Xbox Cloud Gaming was promoted as a way to get Xbox in front of 3 billion more eyeballs, but it's been used as a way for Xbox console users to test new games before they buy them.
- Sony's PlayStation boss came off badly during the hearings.
- Microsoft considered "spending Sony out of business." If this deal fails, it should do just that
- AB demanded a better revenue share and threatened to pull COD off Xbox otherwise. They had no choice, so AB gets an 80/20 revenue split instead of the usual 70/30. Blackmail!
- Microsoft considered buying over 100 separate companies to gain a foothold in mobile gaming (and overall). Key among them are Zynga, Bungie, Sega, CD Projekt Red, and Gearbox
Windows 11
- Deja vu: Microsoft issues Windows 11 version 22H2 Moment 3 as a preview update
- A quick update on that new switch in Windows Update
- Welcome to the nanny state: Windows 11 just can't stop telling us how to do things
- Microsoft wants to bring Cloud PC to consumers for some reason
- DuckDuckGo's web browser is here for Windows in beta. It's as safe and private as Brave, but it is still lacking too many core features for daily use
Microsoft and AI
- ChatGPT adds Bing integration in iOS
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella talks about his AI conversion

Space Ace Leonard David joins the conversation on This Week in Space. NASA has released preliminary results of their Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena report, and they are nearly the opposite of the DoD's previous report. NASA found very few incidents to be truly "unidentified," though this report was notably based solely on unclassified material and was in essence, a study-of-how-to-study UFO data... so we are left continuing to look to the skies.

Many of us would love an opportunity to fly into space, even if for just a few minutes. Dylan Taylor recognized this, and also the power of the Overview Effect to change people's perceptions about spaceflight and our world. He created the nonprofit Space For Humanity to select deserving people from around the world to fly aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, on which he has flown. The results have been impressive, and as these people return to their home states and countries, they become ambassadors for the final frontier. Join us as we speak to Rachel Lyons, Executive Director of Space For Humanity.

You may not have heard of Charles Miller, but you should have. He was an early proponent of commercial spaceflight and was instrumental in making it part of NASA's mandate in 1998. He was a senior advisor to NASA on the topic for three years and, both before and after, a powerful proponent as a private citizen, starting a number of space advocacy groups. He recently founded Lynk, a company that connects cell phones to satellites worldwide with their own proprietary satellites. In short, he's one of the original Space Buccaneers and one of the few non-billionaires instrumental in creating the new space age.

The sun brings light and heat to Earth, but it can also blast our planet with stormy weather, flares, and massive coronal mass ejections that can impact our power grids, satellites, and even endanger astronauts in space and, eventually, back on the moon. And it's heating up as the sun approaches Solar Maximum of its latest Solar Cycle 25. NASA solar astrophysicist Dr. C. Alex Young of the Helioscience Division of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland joins us to dish on the latest from the sun and what it means for us on Earth.

Jupiter is the king of the solar system, yet it has only been visited by a handful of probes. Juno is the most recent, and has redefined how we understand the giant planet. Since 2016, Juno has explored Jupiter's intense and mysterious magnetic field, changed how we look at giant planet formation, made critical observations of the complex movements of Jupiter's atmosphere, flow through the planet's nearly invisible rings, and probed the intricacies of the Jovian core. Add to that the Junocam project, which allowed citizen scientists to request specific targets for imaging, and you have one heck of a successful mission, now in its 22nd year! Join us as we talk to Juno's chief scientist, Scott Bolton.

Windows 11: We're having another moment!
- After hitting Release Preview last week, Moment 3 will arrive in preview form next week (Week D) or the following week and then head to stable on June 13 (Patch Tuesday).
- Now we have a better understanding of Microsoft's update schedule for Windows 11
- Feature Updates - one per year in H2, deployed logically using best-known configurations first
- Moments - once per quarter
- Controlled Feature Releases (CFRs) - almost every month, deployed randomly
- App updates - can happen anytime based on readiness\
- Continuous innovation isn't just for Windows. In fact, we can assume that mobile was the inspiration for this. Windows feels pressure from mobile. Does mobile feel pressure from web?
- When Moment 3 arrives, can people in Release Preview automatically exit Insider Preview?
- Phone Link support for iPhone goes to stable
- Windows 10 version 21H2 exits support next month, leaving 22H2 as the last version standing for non-managed businesses
Bing/AI/cloud
- Bing chatbot gets contextual chat, a few changes on mobile
- EU begins an antitrust investigation of Azure
- Google barely mentioned Android 14 and didn't mention Google Assistant at IO keynote. This is by design: Like Microsoft marketing the cloud before it was ready for 10 years, Google is marketing AI
Dev * First Rust code shows up in the Windows kernel (in Insider) * Visual Studio is getting its first visual refresh in over 10 years * Build 2023 is next week! Any sessions stand out? (You can save sessions you want to see to your virtual backpack)

The battle rages over the outcomes from the truncated Starship launch test last week, and we're going to jump right in, punch through the noise, unwind the arguments, and shine the light. Or not. You decide. If nothing else, we'll kick the bear called Starship!

CMA blocks Activision Blizzard deal, FY23 Q3 earnings, Mad Dogs Hot Dogs
Microsoft earnings
- Microsoft announced that it earned a net income of $18.3 billion on revenues of $52.9 billion for the quarter ending March 31. Those figures represent gains of 9 and 7 percent, respectively, year-over-year.
- Intelligent Cloud, the home of Azure and Server, was once again the software giant's biggest business, with $22.1 billion in revenues, up 16 percent YOY.
- Productivity and Business Processes, which houses Office, delivered $17.5 billion in revenues, up 11 percent YOY.
- Windows, Xbox, and Surface once again tripped over themselves, with $13.3 billion in revenues, down 9 percent.
Analysis of Microsoft's F23Q3
- Yet another AI theory: After years of 70 percent-ish growth in Azure revenues driving its stock price and market cap, Microsoft needed something exciting for Wall Street. (Azure grew "just" 27 percent in this quarter)
- Windows revenues from PC makers fell 28 percent in the quarter. Windows Commercial products and cloud services increased 14 percent YOY, "driven by strong renewal execution and an increase in agreements that carried higher in-period revenue recognition."
- Surface was a no-show: Devices revenues fell by 30 percent.
- Xbox: Xbox console sales and other hardware revenues fell 30 percent in the quarter while gaming revenue, overall, declined 4 percent and Xbox content and services revenue grew 3 percent. But revenue from Xbox subscriptions reached nearly $1 billion in the quarter.
- Teams: over 300 million MAUs.
- Microsoft 365: Office commercial revenue grew 13 percent in the quarter. Paid Office 365 commercial seats were up 11 percent YOY to 382 million. Office consumer revenues were up, sort of, by 1 percent, while the Microsoft 365 consumer user base grew 12 percent to 65.4 million.
Windows 11
- A new monthly preview update to think about
- Phone Link for iOS is now rolling out to everyone
- New Beta channel builds: new Live Caption languages
- Leak: Microsoft will bring (back) app labels and grouping to the Windows 11 Taskbar
Microsoft 365

- Does Microsoft have an antitrust problem?
Xbox
- UK CMA blocks Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard... because of cloud streaming??
- Microsoft Flight Simulator has a new World Update

Col. Eileen Collins was the first woman to pilot the space shuttle and command a NASA mission, but the journey was not easy. She was the second woman to go through the Air Force's test pilot school and was selected as an astronaut in 1990. In 1995 she piloted the shuttle Discovery in a mission to rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir, and in 1999 she commanded the STS-93 mission--the first woman to do so--and STS 114 in 2005, the shuttle's return to flight after the Columbia accident; in all, she flew four shuttle missions. Eileen retired from NASA in 2006 and co-authored "Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars" with Jonathan Ward. She continues to inspire young women worldwide.

Since at least the 1940s, UFOs and alien encounters have been a part of popular culture, and with tens of millions of true believers across the globe, these are powerful ideas with staying power. What makes these stories so appealing? Do alien visitations even make sense? If so, why are they so interested in us? Dale Skran, Chief Operating Officer of the National Space Society, joins us to apply Occam's Razor to these and other questions about what's out there.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Leo Laporte talks with Dr. George Church about the history and future of genome sequencing. Dr. Church explains why he is very excited about how they made an organism resistant to all viruses- both known and unknown.
They also talk about:
- How Dr. Church made sequencing affordable (from $3BN to $600)
- Where are we on sequencing the entire human genome, and why would we even want to?
- How close are we to reversing aging?
- Should we use gene therapy to double the human lifespan?
- Why genetically engineering cold-resistant elephants could be important for climate change, and what about ultimately bringing back the Mammoth?
- He explains the difference between the hype and reality of CRISPR
- sequencing, synthesis, and delivery
- What are the privacy concerns about companies sharing your genome?
- They discuss the controversy and benefit of reconstructing old viruses like the 1918 flu and even inventing new viruses.
Dr. Church is a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and a pioneer in personal genetics. He is credited with developing the first methods for sequencing the first genome and also the CRISPR technology. He created several companies, including Nebula Genomics and Veritas Genetics.

Daniel Suarez has been a fixture on the New York Times Bestseller's list for a reason, and his latest book, "Critical Mass," will be no exception. It's a fast-paced adventure set in cislunar space to build out a newspace economy and rescue astronauts stranded at a distant asteroid, filled with drama and intrigue. It's also one of the most plausible looks at the future of spaceflight, complete with entrepreneurial space billionaires and cantankerous, mistrustful governments. In short, Suarez has looked into a newspace crystal ball and unveiled a likely future for the development of space--and made it entertaining as hell.

Layoffs
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella informs employees of 10,000 layoffs
- Is Surface on the cutting block?
- Amazon to layoff 18,000
Welcome to the AI era
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirms Microsoft's AI moves: Azure Open AI service, ChatGPT APIs, and infusing AI across the entire Microsoft stack
- This is a much bigger deal than Microsoft's pivot to the cloud 20 years ago because it infuses everything that it does. When Wall Street latched onto Azure and cloud computing and made Microsoft the second biggest company in the world, the software giant effectively ignored personal computing because no one wanted to hear about legacy. That era is over.

When Walt Disney wanted to build a vision of the future for Disneyland's Tomorrowland in the 1950s, he turned to Wernher von Braun, former Nazi rocketeer turned US citizen and missile chief, to help design it. Along the way, the two men co-created a series of visionary shows about spaceflight for Disney's weekly TV show. Boeing engineer and space history expert John Rose joins us to discuss this unique and unlikely collaboration and how its effects resonate to this day.

America is returning to the moon, but how can we best do this? NASA is pursuing the massive Space Launch System, or SLS, that uses repurposed space shuttle technology to build a one-use, throwaway rocket that is not yet powerful enough to stage a landing mission without a third-party landing stage. SpaceX's Starship, which is NASA's first choice of a lunar lander, is larger, more powerful, reusable, and will one day be capable of going from the Earth to the lunar surface in one shot - and for a fraction of the cost. Why build both? How do they stack up when compared? Rod and Tariq dive deep into the Rise of the Megarockets!

23 years ago, Mars scientist Pascal Lee started building his Haughton-Mars Project outpost on Devon Island in the high Arctic to research Mars exploration and mobility systems. Working with NASA and the SETI Intsitute, he's been at it ever since, and in August, was joined by Rod on his first visit to the base since 2019. It was a dry, cold, and dusty time... and as much fun as a team of scientists should be allowed to have.

How do you uninstall applications on your Mac? How do you make sure deleted files are truly, fully deleted? How do you troubleshoot a poor internet connection? Chances are you're using multiple apps and utilities to complete tasks on your Mac that could all be handled by CleanMyMac X. This week, Mikah Sargent explains why CleanMyMac X — despite unfairly being lumped in with low-quality, multi-utility apps — is good, actually. The app can help you solve all sorts of problems on macOS, help you speed up your system, and make sure you've fully uninstalled apps you're looking to get rid of.

Dr. Bill Tarver joins Rod Pyle and Geoff Notkin on This Week in Space to discuss loss of life. Whether during launch, an extended journey, or on the Moon, Mars, or in orbit, there will be human casualties. How will we deal with a death in space? What do you do with a body you might not be able to return to Earth? Do we set them adrift like a burial at sea or stuff them into a refrigerator for later? Great conversation with Tarver covering this topic and more.

Jack Dorsey wants to skip Web3 and Web4 and go straight to a decentralized Web5 ... or does he? Instagram is adding new features and partnerships to encourage young people to take a break from the social media platform. New legislation aims to ban the sale of health and location data to third parties. Activision Blizzard, which was internally investigating claims of harassment at the company, says it failed to find a systemic issue.
First, CoinDesk's Sam Kessler stops by the show to discuss former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's latest vision for a decentralized internet: Web5. Kessler discusses Dorsey's announcement and helps sift through the jokes and memes surrounding the idea.
Then, Lizzy Lawrence of Protocol joins the show to talk about Instagram's latest Health and Safety features. The social media network has partnered with influencers and implemented a number of prompts to encourage users to step away from Instagram from time to time. Lawrence examines the efficacy of the updates.
Then, Jason shares a story about new legislation that would ban the sale of health and location data by apps and services that collect the information. Some weather apps, cycle trackers, and other apps collect data about an individual user and sell that information to third-party data brokers. This potential law would ban the practice.
Lastly, Mikah talks about Activision Blizzard's recent SEC filing. The company says it completed an internal investigation regarding harassment, but failed to find a "systemic issue."

Technologists have penned an open letter to U.S. lawmakers that encourages both understanding and regulation of cryptocurrency. Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg announces she will step down.
First, technology and internet lawyer Denise Howell stops by to discuss the Supreme Court's decision to put a hold on Texas's infamous social media law. Howell gives us a preview of what could happen next.
Then, journalist and YouTuber Rene Ritchie gives a preview of Apple's World Wide Developers Conference.

Then, developer Tim Bray joins the show to share his thoughts on fintech in the United States. He and other technologists have penned an open letter to U.S. lawmakers urging them to do their due diligence regarding cryptocurrency.

California's AB-2408 aims to hold social media companies responsible for social media addiction. DuckDuckGo comes under scrutiny for its deal with Microsoft. Apple's Self-Service Repair Program leaves a lot to be desired. Researchers set their sites on social media dissociation.
First, Techdirt's Mike Masnick stops in to discuss California's AB-2408. The bill, if passed, would allow parents and guardians to sue social media companies for their kids' social media addiction. But does the bill go too far in limiting free speech? Masnick shares his thoughts.
Then, Tom Merritt of the Daily Tech News Show, discusses Bleeping Computer's recent report on DuckDuckGo. The company, which has a partnership with Microsoft, has been accused of allowing Microsoft trackers in its browser while still blocking other third-party trackers.
Then, Mikah regales listeners with the tumultuous tale of embarking on the quest to replace the battery in his iPhone 12 Pro Max by way of Apple's Self Service Repair Program.
Lastly, Jason shares a project from researchers at the University of Washington that looked at how social media design influences dissociation.

Microsoft makes available the video-creation tool 3D Movie Maker. The Mozilla Foundation shares its research regarding mental health apps and their privacy policies and protections. Google announces new hardware at its Google I/O developer conference. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg shares a short demo of the company's next AR/VR headset.
First, Scott Hanselman of Microsoft stops by to share how he successfully published the archive of Microsoft 3D Movie Maker after a developer on Twitter "nerd-sniped" him. Self-proclaimed software necromancer, Foone, is now working to modernize the movie-making tool.
Then, Misha Rykov of the Mozilla Foundation shares the foundation's work on "*Privacy Not Included," a guide that details the privacy practices and protections of smart home hardware, apps, and services. The Foundation's latest focus? Mental health apps.
Then, Mikah recounts the exciting — and numerous — hardware announcements at Google I/O. The company revealed a new Pixel 6 smartphone, a Pixel Watch smartwatch, and true-wireless earbuds with active noise cancelation. Google also shared some details about the Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, a Pixel tablet, and augmented-reality glasses.
Lastly, Mikah discusses a new reveal from Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. The company is working on a mixed-reality headset, currently called Project Cambria, that will use high-quality cameras to stream a person's environment and overlay augmented reality experiences.

Governor Gavin Newsom of California has signed an executive order regarding the regulation of cryptocurrency in the state. With the Supreme Court's potential Roe v. Wade ruling around the corner, Big Tech is responding. Sonos will reportedly launch a virtual assistant of its own aimed at voice controls for music. Vinyl gets an upgrade to aluminum and lacquer.
First, Ben Pimentel of Protocol stops by to discuss California Gov. Gavin Newsom's new executive order aimed at cryptocurrency regulation. The order builds on the Biden Administration's own rules regarding crypto.
Then, Protocol's Lizzy Lawrence details how tech companies are responding to the Supreme Court's leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Tech companies are now working to outline and update their policies on abortion coverage.
Then, Mikah shares a story from The Verge that provides an in-depth look at Sonos's long-rumored virtual assistant. The company will reportedly launch the music-controlling voice-based assistant on June 1.
Lastly, Jason shares three stories he's excited about: MIT has developed a portable, briefcase-sized desalination machine; the Brooklyn Public Library is offering digital library cards to every teen in the U.S., giving them access to banned books; Producer T Bone Burnett has created the next iteration of the vinyl album — it's made of aluminum and lacquer.

Sales software and video-conferencing applications turn to computer vision for more insight into impact. Netflix is facing a stock drop after it announced plans to tackle poor subscription rates. Just a few weeks after its launch, CNN+ is reportedly shutting down. "BeReal." is a new social media platform that encourages authenticity.
First, Kate Kaye of Protocol stops by to discuss emotion A.I. and sentiment analysis. The two technologies are often conflated, but Kaye argues the two are distinct.
Then, The Washington Post's Alyssa Rosenberg provides some clarity on Netflix's dip in subscribers. The media streaming company may look to an ad-supported tier to help prop up its losses.
Then, following up on his story from last week, Mikah shares the latest news regarding CNN+. According to Axios, the premium subscription service will shut down at the end of the month.
Lastly, Jason shares his thoughts on the latest social media network to capture some cultural attention — "BeReal." aims to encourage its users to share candid, unguarded, realistic shots of their daily goings-on.

When will humans reach Mars? We've talked about it since the 1940s; now it's time to get going. NASA, SpaceX, and China are all eyeing the Red Planet. Who will get there first? This is part one of our "Humans on Mars" discussion and a look at early efforts to reach the red planet with American boots. Also, more delays for the Space Launch System, should the James Webb Space Telescope be renamed, and sympathies for SpaceX. The U.S. Army thinks waterbirds are more important than you.

Along with plans for an edit button and Elon Musk joining its board, Twitter made another change recently: It changed the way deleted Tweets appear in embeds. OpenAI revealed the latest iteration of its AI-generated art engine, DALL•E 2. Reddit brought back its collaborative internet art piece, Reddit Place. Big Tech has a lot to say about the Senate's American Innovation and Choice Online Act.
First, Kevin Marks of Microformats shares details about Twitter's embedded Tweets. The company no longer shows deleted Tweets embedded in webpages.
Then, Open AI researchers, Prafulla Dhariwal and Aditya Ramesh, stop by to talk about DALL•E 2, the latest iteration of its AI system that creates realistic images and art from natural language descriptions.
Then, Jason talks about Reddit's Place subreddit, a collaborative artwork relaunched on April 1.
Lastly, Mikah digs in to the details of the Senate's American Innovation and Choice Online Act — a bill aimed at stopping Big Tech from prioritizing its own content and products over that of other companies who use its products and services.

On this episode of "This Week in Space," we're seeing busy times at the Kennedy Space Center! Axiom Space is set for the first launch of an all-private crew to the International Space Station from Pad 39A, the Space Launch System is testing over on Pad 39B, and SpaceX's Crew 4 mission is set to depart Pad 39A soon thereafter. Axiom's all-private flight to the ISS comes just two years after the first SpaceX crew launch to the station—and Axiom is also working on modules for the first all-private space station. Also, Hubble spies the most distant star ever, the Mars Helicopter aces another record-setting flight, and Apollo astronaut Tom Stafford tutors NASA on cooperation in space with Russia.

Reviewing Apple's new lower-cost iPhone, the iPhone SE. Meta (Facebook) plans to add new parental supervision controls to its Meta Quest (Oculus Quest) headset. Russians turn to the Clubhouse app for news and information. Automattic shares its vision of the Web by way of WordPress, Tumblr, Pocket Casts, and more.
First, Geoffrey Fowler of the Washington Post joins Jason Howell and Mikah Sargent to talk about Apple's newly announced iPhone SE. While it might not be Apple's flagship phone, the lower-cost smartphone is sure to be a hit for budget-conscious consumers.
Then, TechCrunch's Amanda Silberling stops by to discuss Meta's (Facebook's) new parental supervision tools. The social media company has announced a roll-out of several new tools and settings geared at giving parents and guardians more control over the content their kids consume on the Meta Quest (Oculus Quest) headset.
Then, Jason talks about an uptick in usage for the social audio app Clubhouse. Russians and Ukrainians, alike, are using the app for news and information as Russian leadership seeks to shut down social media services in the country.
Lastly, Mikah shares an interview from The Verge with Automattic's Matt Mullenweg. Mullenweg discusses his vision of the Web, shares his thoughts on web3, and highlights his appreciation of open-source software.

We talk atomic rockets and nuclear power sources (RTGs) in space. In "The Martian," Watney used a surplus Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator to heat his rover but real spacecraft, like the Galileo and Cassini probes to Jupiter and Saturn, have used nuclear isotopes to power their vast arrays of instruments. And, the amazing Voyager spacecraft still talk to us from beyond the solar system powered by a small plutonium pellet.
Then we warp into the amazing world of atomic rocket engines or Nuclear Thermal Rockets. In old sci-fi movies, everything cool was atomic and rockets were no exception. But did you know that America and the Soviet Union experimented with fission-reactor rockets, with the US actually testing a fission-powered rocket in Nevada for over 90 minutes? And now, they are back, promising to cut travel times to Mars and beyond. Join Rod Pyle and Space.com's Tariq Malik for atomic rockets!
We also talk about the war in Ukraine and if Starlink can help connect a besieged country. Plus, that wayward rocket finally hit the moon.

Apple's March 8 event is just around the corner, and the company is rumored to announce a few new products. Valve's Steam Deck is making its way into the hands of pre-order customers and reviewers. Twitter makes its fact-checking service, Birdwatch, available to more people. Jason reviews the OnePlus Buds Z2 wireless earbuds.
- First, Rene Ritchie of YouTube.com/reneritchie stops by to give us a preview of Apple's March 8 "Peek Performance" event. The company is expected to announce a new iPhone SE, a new iPad, and some new Macs.
- Then, The Verge's Sean Hollister goes hands-on with Valve's Steam Deck handheld gaming console. Hollister discusses the features and games available on the console and shares his thoughts on its bugs and patches.
- Then, Mikah discusses Twitter's Birdwatch fact-checking service. The social media company has randomly rolled out the ability to view notes left by fact-checkers and the move sparks a conversation about tech companies asking for free labor from their users.
- Lastly, Jason reviews the OnePlus Buds Z2 wireless earbuds. For $100, the true-wireless earbuds tout quite a few features typically found in higher-cost earbuds.

Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition is underway, but can the company address the workplace concerns? Apple has made changes to its App Store rules in the Netherlands and South Korea. Apple and Google are telling U.S. lawmakers the latest Big Tech bills will harm user privacy and security. AT&T and Verizon want to launch their 5G C-Band services, but the FAA prohibited the launch in airport "buffer zones."
First, Protocol's Anna Kramer stops by to talk about Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. As a workplace reporter, Kramer discusses the concerns of employees and ponders Microsoft's ability to address the workplace concerns.
Then, Rene Ritchie explains the latest App Store changes in the Netherlands and South Korea, as the countries move to regulate Apple and Google.
Then, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg dives into the Big Tech bills making their way through the Senate and details some of the lobbying efforts by Apple and Google.
Lastly, Mikah discusses grounded flights and 5G. AT&T and Verizon were set to launch a large swath of their 5G C-Band services on Tuesday, but the FAA set up "buffer zones" where the companies weren't allowed to activate the new bands. Despite the buffer zones, some airlines chose to ground flights.

After taking Google to court over smart speaker patent infringement, Sonos appears to be the victor. Developer James Thomson discusses App Store copycats in the wake of the Wordle clones. Apple's iMessage doesn't use RCS messaging, but Google wants "green bubbles" and "blue bubbles" to play nice. Many experts have penned two open letters — one to Spotify and one to YouTube — regarding the spread of misinformation and disinformation.
First, Esper's David Ruddock stops by the show to discuss the patent infringement case between Google and Sonos. Google will be making changes to its smart speaker lineup in the interest of complying with the ruling, but Sonos wants Google to pay royalties instead.
Then, in the wake of a number of Wordle copycats making their way to the App Store, developer James Thomson shares his own experience dealing with clones and copycats of PCalc.
Then, Jason and Mikah discuss the ongoing conversation about "green bubbles" and "blue bubbles" in iMessage chats and Google's encouragement for Apple to adopt RCS messaging.
Lastly, Mikah shares two open letters penned by scientists, engineers, and expert fact-checkers. The letters, addressed to Spotify and YouTube, respectively, encourage the companies to introduce policies to help quell the spread of misinformation.
Hosts: Jason Howell and Mikah Sargent
Guests: David Ruddock and James Thomson
