- 8216 - This Week in Space 113: China's Heavenly Dream
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.Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik

Fri, 31 May 2024 - 1h 07min - 8215 - Tech News Weekly 339: Tackling Disinformation With 'Prebunking'
Can you debunk misinformation before it gets out to the public? A massive leak of Google's search algorithm made its way online. What is the /e/OS mobile operating system? And OpenAI is working with Apple to train Siri, and it is making Microsoft concerned about their relationship.
Will Oremus from The Washington Post joins Mikah Sargent to talk about misinformation and the practice of 'prebunking' as a way to educate voters in upcoming elections so that they are as informed as possible when casting their votes. Mikah talks about a recent leak of Google's search algorithm and the company's acknowledgement of the leak. Senior Writer Scott Gilbertson of Wired stops by the show to discuss /e/OS and its differences from the stock Google Android operating system. Finally, Mikah talks about OpenAI helping Apple fix its digital assistant, Siri, and how that working relationship is making Microsoft very concerned.Host: Mikah Sargent

bitwarden.com/twit YahooFinance.com cachefly.com/twitWed, 29 May 2024 - 2h 31min - 8208 - Windows Weekly 883: It's So Convulated
Bing outage, NVIDIA's record Q1 FY25, WPF's rebirth
Windows 11
A quick look back at the Copilot+ PC launch Paul did end up making a video of each MacBook Air reference during last week's launch The Copilot+ PC event was also notable for its many references to the past: Paul counted at least 7 in the first 7 minutes alone After some soul-searching, Paul went all-in on Surface Laptop by canceling the first preorder and bulking it up with more RAM and storage Release Preview (last week): 24H2 comes to RP, suggesting it hits stable on Tuesday, June 11 (in preview), one week before the first Copilot+ PCs arrive with this build preinstalled Beta (last week): 23H2 build with no new features (arriving after 24H2 in Release Preview, of course) Microsoft Edge is getting more responsive thanks to a "WebUI 2.0" initiative Lenovo earnings up 9 percent in quarter, down 8 percent for the year. The future? AI PCs, duhAI
There was a massive Bing outage late last week. Press hold on all the obvious jokes, this impacted Copilot everywhere, DuckDuckGo, other services Cue the Chicken Little "this is why I'll never use AI" crowd, which used to be the "this is why I'll never use the cloud" crowd Copilot comes to Telegram for some reason Google goes live with AI overviews in Search and the world grinds to a halt Google adds Gemini to Chromebook Plus, gives one free year of Google One AI Premium to new device buyers WWDC is coming soon and we're seeing hints of how Apple will add more AI to its products Opera partners with Google Cloud on Gemini in Aria AI and image understanding/image generation in browser And it now plans to make 2000 SLMs available in the browser NVIDIA revenues were a record in Q1, up 262 percent YOYDev
Last week, we learned that WPF is making a comeback. This week, Paul revived his .NETpad project and is going to modernize it using the new featuresXbox

Congress recently made it nearly impossible to track private jets. Is WiFi 7 worth buying into right now? What resources are out there to help with the process of building a computer?

Kabosu, Shiba Inu dog who inspired 'Doge' meme, dies at 18. Congress just made it basically impossible to track Taylor Swift's private jet. U.S. screens record 2.95 million airline passengers in single day. Is there a way to pinpoint an issue causing my Safari browser not to work? Is WiFi 7 a worthwhile upgrade for better data transfer between my NAS and computer? Are there AI note-taking tools that can effectively summarize notes from a meeting and are not as costly? Dick DeBartolo and the motion sensor LED light pucks! Can I tag photos based on dates? Leo shows off the mini Bluetooth keyboard he recommended for a viewer last week to use with your iPad. What does Leo think of the device? Are there tools out there that can organize photos of one person by date of older to newer? What resources are out there to help with the process of building a computer? How can I determine which custom ringtones are set to my contacts on my cellphone? Why are my Edge browser profiles not syncing across my various devices? How can I make a searchable database for my podcast? What's the easiest way to create annotations for my videos on my iPad?

Sun, 26 May 2024 - 1h 11min - 8202 - This Week in Space 112: Mars on Pause?
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 energyMain 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 explorationHosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik

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 beneficialShortcuts 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 settingsHosts: Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard

Emily Dreibelbis from PCMag joins Mikah Sargent this week. Emily talks about Scarlett Johansson and OpenAI. Could generative AI be coming to Alexa in the future? If your meme game is on point, then you may have a future with politics. And Microsoft announced new Windows laptops with AI features baked into the device.
Emily Dreibelbis talks about OpenAI being under fire from actor Scarlett
Johansson as the actor voices her concern over the company's use of her voice, while OpenAI fires back, showing how they used a different actor for the voice. Mikah Sargent shares how Amazon plans to overhaul its voice assistant, Alexa, by incorporating AI features into it and charging a monthly subscription price. If your meme game is strong with Millennials and Gen Z, consider a career in politics. The Biden re-election campaign is looking to hire a meme manager.

HP.com - ATG - https://bit.ly/3K4ax9W mylio.com/twit 1bigthink.comSun, 19 May 2024 - 2h 15min - 8187 - This Week in Space 111: The Big Glass Wars
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.
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.

Thu, 16 May 2024 - 9min - 8182 - iOS Today 703: Safari Extensions Worth Downloading
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.Hosts: Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard

Sun, 12 May 2024 - 1h 50min - 8172 - This Week in Space 110: Voyager 1's Brush with Silence
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 UFOFeedback:
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 ringsHosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik

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