Tesla has opened its superchargers to non-Tesla vehicles! However, how easy is it to find one that's compatible with one in a big city? Mikah shares a PSA about "MFA Bombing" targeting Apple users. The FTC could sue TikTok over how the company handles its users' privacy and security. What is 'Project Ghostbusters'? And what does one tech reviewer think of the Apple Vision Pro after using it for over a month?
Emily Dreibelbis of PCMag joins us for this Tech News Weekly episode! She shares her experience using Tesla's superchargers with a regular EV vehicle and how difficult it is to find a Tesla charger that will work with non-Tesla EVs. Mikah talks about a recent phishing attack targeting Apple users by exploiting a bug in Apple's reset feature called 'MFA bombing.' Karissa Bell of Engadget talks about how TikTok is now facing possible charges from the FTC for handling users' privacy and security within the platform. Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai of TechCrunch discusses how Facebook probed into Snapchat traffic to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors through a secret project dubbed 'Project Ghostbusters.'

zscaler.com/zerotrustAI bitwarden.com/twitWed, 27 Mar 2024 - 2h 36min - 8080 - Windows Weekly 874: Dark Satya
On Windows Weekly, Moment 5 has arrived as a Preview Update, Windows 10 gets a preview update, and Microsoft announces the Surface Pro 10 & Surface Laptop 6 for Business at a digital event. Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app. Would Microsoft develop a Windows-based gaming handheld device? And Canva acquires Affinity.
Windows
Moment 5 arrives as a Preview Update right on schedule - it's Week D, etc. Microsoft previously described this schedule in its DMA compliance documentation, and noted that it would be fully deployed in stable by the end of April. Quick raise of hands: Did you think this was already available? You're not alone. But ... you know. Microsoft. Oh, and there's a preview update for Windows 10 too. Because come on Microsoft. Don't worry, that lock screen nonsense in Windows 10 is coming to Windows 11 too. Qualcomm claims that most Windows games will "just work" on its X Elite processor. How? Chromium accepts Microsoft commit that will improve Chrome/Chromium text rendering on Windows. Google Chrome comes to Windows on Arm, instantly legitimatizing the platform.Surface
Microsoft announces Surface Pro 10, Surface Laptop 6. For businesses, only - Intel Core Ultra-based. Consumer versions based on X Elite to follow in May, according to reliable rumors. It's first "AI PCs," supposedly. But now we know why they are using that terminology, and it's stupid. (Related, Intel has its own definitions for what makes a PC an AI PC.) This was billed as an AI event, "the new era of work," but there was NO news for Windows or Copilot. None. Why is that? One word: Momentum.AI
In the wake of Microsoft AI reorg (a NeXT-style takeover), a key Microsoft exec says no and steps aside, will likely leave the company Microsoft Teams is gaining new AI capabilities because, duh, of course it is Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app - Two more checkmarks for that grid of Copilot capabilities Our developer show schedule is complete: Apple to host WWDC 2024 in June, following Google I/O and Build in May Samsung spreads Galaxy A1 to more devices starting tomorrow in the USXbox
It's finally happening: Diablo IV will be the first Activision Blizzard game on Xbox Game Pass when it goes live tomorrow. Phil Spencer says Windows is wrong for gaming handhelds, thinks an Xbox would be better. Xbox is testing mouse and keyboard support for Cloud Gaming.Tips and Picks
Tip of the week: Arc browser just became more viable on Windows. App pick of the week: Affinity Photo 2 Also: Proton Pass now supports (portable) passkeys. And it's free. RunAs Radio this week: GitHub for SysAdmins with April Edwards. Brown liquor pick of the week: Stauning Kaos Danish Whisky.Hosts: Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 - 1h 29min - 8074 - This Week in Space 103: Starship's Orbital Feat
Last week's test flight of SpaceX's Starship--its third so far--was a mixed bag. The successful launch, ascent, staging, and testing of propellant transfer and the cargo bay door were all brilliant, yet both vehicles were destroyed before completing their planned trajectories, and the upper stage didn't make it into orbit (though it did reach "orbital velocity," according to Elon). So what's the real story on this test flight? When will the next one be? How close is SpaceX to routine launches of Starship, and when might it be ready to land NASA astronauts on the moon? And finally--an interstellar Starship, really Elon? Space.com ace reporter Mike Wall--that's Dr. Mike Wall to you--joins us with the details.
Headlines:
Soyuz Rocket Pad Abort: A rare occurrence where a Soyuz rocket's launch to the ISS was aborted due to a power issue, highlighting the reliability and challenges of space launches. Boeing Starliner's Crew Test: An update on Boeing's Starliner, poised for its first crewed test flight, marking a significant milestone in commercial spaceflight. Chandra Space Telescope Funding Cuts: Discussion on budgetary decisions impacting the Chandra X-ray Observatory, reflecting on the challenges of sustaining long-term space science missions.Main Topic - SpaceX's Starship Developments:
Starship's Third Test Flight: Starship's third fully stacked test flight on March 14th was the most successful to date, achieving significant milestones but still facing challenges with stage separation and atmospheric reentry. Technical Challenges and Innovations: Discussions on Starship's design choices, such as its stainless steel construction and the choice of methane as fuel, showcasing the innovative approaches to overcoming space travel challenges. NASA's Artemis Program and Starship: NASA's reliance on Starship for future lunar landings underlines the spacecraft's importance in returning humans to the Moon and potentially beyond. The Business Case for Mars: Speculation on how SpaceX plans to finance its Mars colonization ambitions, including the role of commercial and military contracts, point-to-point Earth transportation, and the potential market for Mars travel. Potential for Interstellar Travel: Elon Musk's ambitious vision for Starship's future, including interstellar missions, underscores the long-term goals of SpaceX's space exploration efforts.Get Mike's book "Out There": https://amzn.to/3PBrQlY

On this episode, Paul, Richard, and Mikah talk AI developments, Windows 10 (yes, 10), Azure egress, and even VR gaming! Is the new Microsoft AI organization an "acquisition" in disguise? How did NVIDIA's recent GTC keynote go? Plus, why it makes sense for Apple to partner with Google for Gemini on iPhone.
AI Reorg
Microsoft has created a new Microsoft AI "organization" that reports directly to Satya Nadella Led by former Inflection co-founders and staffed in part by several ex-Inflection employees Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, who orchestrated Microsoft's OpenAI partnership, will continue forward in his other role as executive vice president of AI and will remain responsible for Microsoft's overall AI strategy Mikhail Parakhin and the entire team responsible for Copilot, Bing, and Edge, plus Misha Bilenko and the GenAI team, will move into Microsoft AI. Rajesh Jha will continue as executive vice president of Experiences & Devices and will "partner closely with Mustafa and team" on Copilot for Microsoft 365. What does this mean for Windows? (Paul's guess: Not much. Windows is still presumably under Jha)Windows
Windows 10 (Yes, 10, not 11) is getting new Sports, Traffic, and Finance cards on the lock screen for some reason No new Insider builds since last week! WHAAAAAT?Microsoft 365
No AI for you! Microsoft announces perpetual Office 2024 and Office 2024 LTSC for late 2024 AI for you! Microsoft 365 web apps now support Copilot Pro users Better AI for you! Free Copilot gets ChatGPT-4 Turbo (previously a paid feature) Microsoft follows Google and AWS, ends Azure egress fees - the other European Big Tech battlegroundAI
Apple is almost certainly going to (try to) partner with Google on AI for iPhone How the F is Microsoft not part of this? Google I/O is set for May 14, Apple WWDC will be in June, both to focus on AI (duh) Microsoft to host "AI and Surface event" right before Build 2024 in May Nvidia is determined to not just ride the AI wave, but win it In the wake of a subtle rebranding, Google is bringing generative AI to Fitbit Amazon is bringing generative AI for product pages to sellersXbox
New games across Game Pass for the second half of March - including, for the first time, an Activision Blizzard title, Diablo IV Microsoft is killing the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox... though there is a Rewards tab on your Profile page.

Apple in talks to license Google Gemini for iPhone, iOS 18 generative AI tools. "The full exchange between Riley Testut and Apple's Kyle Andeer re the Core Technology Fee..." Walmart brings the popular MacBook Air with the M1 chip to its shelves. M3 MacBook Air said to lose 50% of its performance in clamshell mode. Modded M3 MacBook Air outperforms the more expensive M3 MacBook Pro with supercharged cooling. Serious bug in Sonoma 14.4 will destroy saved versions in iCloud Drive.

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 - 1h 32min - 8060 - This Week in Space 102: A New Volcano on Mars!
Thought you knew all about Mars? Think again. Despite thousands of people poring through thousands of images from a flock of Mars orbiters over the decades, Dr. Pascal Lee and his associates found intriguing features in a region of complex terrain between Mars' Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system, and the western extent of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. First, he spotted a relict glacier, covered with volcanic ash, and in a single day, realized he'd found a recently active volcano not previously identified--and how was this missed? Pascal will fill us in on the gritty details. This exciting discovery has wide-ranging implications, including the possibility of finding life nearby. Join us for this first-anywhere media reveal of the newest major feature on the Red Planet!
Headline: SpaceX's Starship Test Flight
SpaceX conducted its third test flight of the Starship and Super Heavy launch system, successfully reaching orbital speed but losing both vehicles during re-entry The Starship reached orbital velocity and performed several test objectives, including a Starlink satellite dispenser demonstration and in-vehicle propellant transfer The test flight, while not perfect, represents a significant step forward for SpaceX's Mars ambitions, though there is still a long way to go before Starship is ready for crewed missionsMain Topic: Dr. Pascal Lee's Discovery of a Giant Volcano on Mars
Dr. Lee and his team discovered a previously unknown volcano on Mars, measuring 450 km (280 miles) in diameter and rising 9,000 meters above the surrounding terrain The volcano, located in the Noctis Labyrinthus region near Valles Marineris, has been hiding in plain sight since the Mariner 9 mission in 1971 The discovery was made while studying a nearby glacier, which is likely related to the volcanic activity in the area The volcano's heavily eroded state suggests a long history of activity, with evidence of recent eruptions and the potential for ongoing activity The presence of a glacier and potential for residual heat make this site a compelling target in the search for extant life on Mars Dr. Lee proposes this location as an ideal site for future human exploration, offering access to both ancient and potentially modern life on Mars The discovery highlights the importance of volcanic regions on Mars for understanding the planet's geological history and potential for harboring life Dr. Lee and his team have submitted the name "Noctis Mons" for the newly discovered volcano, pending approval from the International Astronomical Union (IAU)Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik

That latter fact alone helps bring us one step closer to a future in which foldable PCs rule the premium portable PC market.

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 - 1h 54min - 8047 - This Week in Space 101: Nukes in Space
Russia is building a secret nuclear-powered space weapon, but what does that mean for the rest of us? In this episode, Tariq Malik is joined by Space.com's Brett Tingley to discuss the recent reports and delve into the history of nuclear weapons and reactors in space, the existing international treaties governing weapons of mass destruction in orbit, and the growing militarization of space by Russia, China, and the United States. Malik and Tingley also cover the week's top headlines, including SpaceX's upcoming Starship orbital launch attempt and NASA's continuing struggles to revive the Voyager 1 spacecraft.
Headlines:
SpaceX sets March 14th as tentative date for Starship's third test flight, pending final launch license approval from the FAA NASA's Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977 and now in interstellar space, continues to experience significant computer glitches that mission controllers are struggling to diagnose The next Great North American Solar Eclipse is just one month away, with the path of totality crossing from Mexico through the central and northeastern US on April 8thMain Topic: Potential Russian Nuclear Space Weapons
Recent reports from US officials suggest Russia may be developing a new nuclear-powered anti-satellite weapon or electronic warfare platform The weapon likely wouldn't pose an immediate threat, but highlights the growing militarization of space and potential for a new arms race Nuclear power has long been used in space, from radioisotope thermoelectric generators on probes like Voyager to plans for nuclear propulsion The 1967 Outer Space Treaty bans placing WMDs in orbit, but has some gray areas and lacks robust enforcement mechanisms The US, Russia, and China have all demonstrated anti-satellite capabilities in recent years, from missiles to lasers to mini-satellites with robotic arms There are also growing concerns over military interest in cislunar space and the Moon as another "high ground" to be contested While there are more pressing threats than space-based nuclear weapons, the situation reflects deteriorating international relations and the need for updated treatiesHost: Tariq Malik
