Of course, I'm on with Ken and Matt for their morning drive show, which is every Wednesday at 738. Well, their morning drive shows every day. As you might expect, we have a lot of coronavirus related stuff today. But this is not going to be so much on the medical side. It is going to be more on the - How do you work from home? How do you make your business a success, when you have many of your workers who are out for whatever reason. We'll be talking about the technologies of working from home, as well as what the FCC is doing to help make our lives a little bit easier in this set Coronavirus match. You might have seen and how viruses in and of themselves are kind of a big problem. If he were to ask me, we're going to talk about this massive Atlanta based money laundering operation that the FBI brought down. A colossal business email compromised bust that also brought down dozens of different bad guys. What they did and how they're trying to take advantage of the coronavirus to steal even more money from you. Some free upgrades that have come from Comcast and T Mobile. We probably we'll talk a little bit about what WebEx is doing for us as well when it comes to free conferencing systems and team systems for 90 days or more. We will discuss how the more secure businesses out there are making it very difficult, in fact, almost impossible, in some cases, absolutely impossible to work from home and some advice from my wife and me. I've been working at home for more than 20 years, what have we learned over those years, and what have other people been saying that I thought might make a reasonable discussion. Now you'll find all of this, of course, on my website at Craig Peterson dot com, we try and post all of these articles up for everybody to be able to see. And we'll also be talking about this a little bit more in some of our webinars. You might have attended my webinars this week. Last Sunday, I had a great webinar well attended. We covered a lot of ground frankly, about the whole work from home thing and VPNs and some of the technology you should and should not be using. We're probably this week going to start up this coming week and have some specialized ones as well. We're going to be talking about VPNs, the hardware and software you need, and the routers in your home office. Some of the plugins you should be using and what you can do about DNS. So that'll all be coming up this week. There's only one way to find out about this and to get registered. These are free and are essential for you as a worker, as a business owner, or as a manager. All of those people you're going to benefit a lot by checking in with me on these webinars. So how do you get on? Easy just go to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe. I am not one of these spammers. I'm not one of these internet marketers. I haven't been in the online space now for many, many decades. And it's kind of scary to think about blizzards four-plus decades actually in the whole networking space, and the computer security space for this as well. So I guess you could say I've seen it all, at least most of it. And so I've been taking questions from everybody. What do you want? What don't you want to see? If you do sign up for the list, by the way, I've got three little surprises that will come your way some great gifts of information that are available for you just for the clicking and signing up. Again Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe, keep an eye on your mail mailbox because I will be letting you know about these other webinars that are coming up this next week. You know, being the tech guy that I am. Sometimes, I think it's kind of like the cobblers kids without any shoes or repaired shoes. In my case, it was ill-repaired technology and of course, when you needed it, you know just isn't there for you. This week, the problem I've been having has been with my email. If you responded to me, I have to apologize because my email system has not been working correctly. You already know I have thousands of people on my email lists, and I've been trying to keep everybody up to date on Saturday mornings, you get my special emails about what the news is this week. Then pretty much once a month, more or less a week after Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, I tell you what the most critical patches are to install and apply and give you all that information. If you haven't caught that one yet, its because we haven't sent it out, however, we have the very first of that edition all set and ready to go, and we'll probably be sending that out pretty darn soon. And what we're trying to do is save you a lot of time, Microsoft had over 100 critical patches this week, and there's no way that a regular company can keep up with all of these patches. So what do you do? That's what these exclusive newsletters are for, telling you here are the most critical ones, the ones that are in the wild right now. Bad guys are using them. That's easy for them to use to get into your system. So How can you protect yourself? All of that stuff in that newsletter? So I think it's going to be handy. It's one of the things we've heard the most complaints about from people is just what patches Do I need to apply because you can't possibly patch them all. I also had a great discussion this week that I want to bring up while we're talking about patches. And this is for the listener, in fact, in Maine, and a business owner, small business owner, and he is using Android devices sticking with the Google devices. Google makes a phone called a pixel. It's not necessarily the best of the Android devices out there in many measures. But the good news about it is the Google does release updates for it, and those updates can cover all of the critical patches that you need. But the point I made to him, and I want to make sure it is clear for everybody who's listening is that most of the vendors In the Android world do not support vices devices for more than two years. So you only get two years' worth of patch support. And that includes Samsung. And it frankly, if I were buying an Android device, I would probably buy the Samsung Galaxy more or less top of the line, because I know they'll be supporting that for two years. So first of all, check when the device came out. So if you're buying a new Samsung Galaxy phone, and it came out eight months ago, remember, that's eight months off of the two years' worth of support. So you're going to get what a year and four months' worth of support, hopefully, out of Samsung, and then after that, the problem is you're not going to be able to get patches anymore, and that means your security is going to go right down the drain. Keep that in mind. So our basic rule of thumb when it comes to Android devices, if you're going to buy them, you need to buy a new phone every year to make sure That you're able to get the updates. If you are using an Apple phone, you're good to go for five years, five years. So again, the same trick applies. When did Apple released that phone, and you're getting going to get support for five years from when it was released. So with the Apple phones, we advise every four years or just keep an ear to the ground. Apple's good about not only giving you the updates, and automatically installing them, but also having them not break your phones as well as letting you know when the end of life is for each device. We recently saw the end of life for the iPhone six. The six S is going to be coming up later on this year. So you know, if you have a success, you're probably going to have to replace it. Then the sevens will probably be good until next year. They just last, right, and Apple supports them and keeps all of these security patches up-to-date, which is super duper exciting. For us, particularly in this day and age, one of the things I mentioned this week on one of these webinars was, hey guys huge deal here. Because what we're finding is that we're at war and you may not realize it, they're certainly not talking about it on TV. And I'm not talking about coronavirus. I'm talking about war with real live enemies. Just like in the old days, we've got Iran we've got China, and we've got Russia all attacking us actively attacking us. But this is a war in cyberspace. We're not attacking them anywhere like they're attacking us. And it isn't just bad guys living in those countries. We're talking about a war that has been declared by and is officially being run by their government. Now we have retaliated for some of these cyber strikes. Still, it is a real war, and we can expect more of it. We can expect it to increase here with the coronavirus spread because we're all kind of distracted, aren't we? From soup to nuts, the military is distracted. So we have to make sure that we are covering ourselves with security, and that's part of what I will cover in these webinars coming up. I begin with the basics of remote work, including what to look out for and what you need to know. In these webinars, I always answer all the questions everybody has so that you can get the right answers. And I am just you know, it's content-rich, where we're, we're answering your questions, we're giving you all the information we can, and I'm going to be selling here probably in the next week or two, a more advanced course. That does a deep dive step by step all of the tactics and things you need to do and how to do it to lock down your Windows computers, lock down your network, your Wi-Fi, etc. I've heard from so many people that it's confusing going online, searching Google trying to find the information, and no one has it appropriately organized because everybody has their little bit. So we're going to be doing a full paid course on that one. It is for anybody who has to maintain computers, primarily for businesses, where you have to keep these things secure. It will help you make sure the security is going to work for you. Okay, so to subscribe, make sure you get on those lists by going to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe. And when we get back, we're going to be talking about working from home some of the things to consider from the tech side. You're listening to Craig Peterson on WGAN. Hi, everybody, Craig Peterson back here. I was feeling kind of punky this weekend. If anybody else kind of felt that way. I don't think it was the coronavirus or Covid-19. I have been, maybe about a week feeling run down. I was kind of moving slowly, and it was not much fun, but I'm feeling so much better right now. That's why I didn't have as many of these webinars last week that I wanted to have. I was going to try and do like one a day, but I ended up with more like one last week. Next week is going to be bigger better. I am feeling well. We're going to talk a lot more. Now that you guys have had a little experience working at home and answer even more questions than we could have answered before now that you kind of know what you don't know right a little bit. Get you safe, get your safe at home and get you're using the right tools. We have even put together a little survey to help you check your preparedness to work remotely. We're going to be releasing information about some of the tools and hopefully help you find some tools that are going to help you at home help you with everything from efficiency, through security at with your work at home setups. And we're we set up a Facebook group, and I'm not sure if we're going to use it right away. You know, when I surveyed you guys a couple of weeks ago, there was only I think there's only like one or 2% of people that wanted to do these lives on Facebook. zero percent, by the way, that wanted to do them on YouTube. And the vast majority of people wanted to do regular webinars, so we did it on zoom. I may use WebEx as well depends how many people sign up because my zoom only supports 100 people, my WebEx, which is what I've used for Some of my bigger training supports up to 10,000 people. So we'll you know, we'll see. But you have to sign up. Just go to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe. And that will also be sending you a few really kind of cool cheat sheets and things that I think you could use. And so all of this is free, absolutely free. And then you will find out about the webinars that I'm doing this week as we do some deep dive webinars as well this week, so it should be a great week, coming up this week. All right, so let's get right down to it. Now. Our first topic really for this week. Well, maybe our next one, right. But this is from the verge. And Kim Lyons wrote this, and it's about how to work from home. And I when I did my surveys of you guys who are on my email list this last week, actually we can half ago, I found that the majority of you who went to the webinar that I held Last Sunday, said that you had never really worked from home before, that this was the very first time. So congratulations to you, I suspect you're like most of these people. We were able to answer all of their questions in the webinar. That's what they're for is to get the information out and answer your questions. It can be kind of fun, and it is kind of different. Many people are just sitting at home in their pajamas and till noon. Now it's time to get back to work because we're looking at an extended period. If you're in the 80-year-old range, even above 70, many of us are still working right. Above 70 years old, you are in the kind of that critical age range where the recommendations are that for the next three months, you need to limit going outside and meeting with people heavily. If you are above 60 or above now, they are warning us that again, and you need to be very, very careful. Although most of these deaths are people who are 80 and older, anybody with the compromised system must be careful, and down till about 25 years of age. So if you are one of these say diabetics or you have emphysema, COPD, or many underlying illnesses, you've got to be very, very careful. So for you, this might be an extended period, we might be tar talking, you know what to see here, March to April, May, mid-June, July, maybe even August that you're going to want to be working from home. So there are a few ways that you can be productive at home, and you know, again, we go into a lot of detail in the webinars. It is just a quick radio hit right today. So, Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe to make sure You're signed up. If you're planning to work from home for an extended period, here are some things that you might want to consider. Remember, too, that the best ways to work at home are going to vary from person to person. What you have to do is figure out what helps you to stay focused and to separate your work life from your home life. And this is something that frankly, I have had a hard time doing. Because you already know I give away a lot of time. And I'm doing that right now too. You'll probably see another email from me this week, where we're volleying to volunteering to spend 15 minutes half an hour with you on the phone to help you with whatever setup you have. And we can even do remote tech support for you. Anything that you need help with, and we're just volunteering this for free for people. Again, you can just email me at Craig Peterson dot com. If you want some more information if you're having trouble if you're trying to make this work me at Craig Peterson dot com, and you're just having trouble with that. But the problem I've had over the last couple of decades of working at home is that separating my work life from my home life. I get up in the morning, and one of the first things I do is I pull out that laptop, and I start checking my email, I'm checking my client's systems, I'm checking our systems, I'm checking on the VPN that clients are using. I'm checking the firewall logs to from our clients as well as for us. Just see if anyone has been trying to hack in. Then we have a look at the alerts that have come up from those firewalls, and other you know, emergencies that might be pending, and solve all of those. Then I get up, and I do my running and some weightlifting down in the basement. I have this great treadmill that one of my daughters had bought for herself. It is a Livestrong brand, from back when Lance Armstrong wasn't a bad word and is a great treadmill. Then I go up, and I shower, and I get back to work. I work all day and then when the evening comes, and we might turn on a TV show while I am, What? Yes, while I'm working on my laptop, and taking care of things for people. That's what I do. Right? I love helping people. I remember when I was about 20 years old, maybe it was 19. And one of my coaches told me, he said he sat us all down. He said I want you to write your obituary right now. You're 20 years old, give or take, write your obituary. What Would you like your headstone to say, try and get it that short? Just a headstone? So we're not talking about multiple paragraphs, you're just talking about multiple words, frankly, what would you like it to say? And I thought about that seriously thought about it. You know what, it has been the mantra for my life here for another 40 years after that, and that is he helped others. That's what I wanted on my headstone. And that's what I've done, right? My wife and I, we've raised together our eight kids, we homeschooled them, all the way up to college. They've gone on to have just extraordinary lives. I still have two of them working with me, which is a real blessing. It's been wonderful. So I haven't solved this problem of separating my home life from my business life because, for me, they've been one-in-the-same. There might be something I need to do with my family during the day. And so I will do it. Because that's the most important thing to me, there might be something that comes up for a client, and I might have to work at it even overnight all night long to get them to the point where they have a smooth operation the very next day at work. That's what I'll do. That's what my family will do. That's what we do for our customers and friends and have forever. And I don't know if that's a bad thing or not, you know if you're going to be doing that if you don't want to do that, but you have to make the decision. Where are you going to draw the line? Okay, we're going to continue this discussion when we get back after the break. We're going to talk about some other things you should be looking at when we talk when we're thinking about the physical side of working from home. You're listening to Craig Peterson right here on WGAN, and on the podcast and streaming pretty much everywhere. Stick around. We'll be right back. Hello, everybody, welcome back, Craig Peterson here, on WGAN, and of course, online streaming sites everywhere. Just look for me, Craig Peterson, on your favorite streaming app. I listen to podcasts all the time and use them. You know, I mentioned in the last segment that I spent some time in the morning every day on the treadmill, trying to keep my heart rate up into that right range and double-check with your doctor if you have a question about what that range is. It used to be kind of your maximum heart rate was 200 minus your age. I'm not sure what it is. Now, I've heard people say it was like 220 or whatever. But double-check, double-check, double-check. You don't want to stress your heart. I've been amazed at how well I have done for me. I've been doing this daily running, walking, jogging, kind of a combination in terms you know, again, intermittent. You know, go fast, going slow well relatively slow. I started this before Christmas last year. So I've been doing it now for three months. A solid three months, and it has made a fantastic difference. I'm surprised how quickly my heart rate drops now after I've been exercising and how not out of breath I am. Currently, my heart rate is in a healthy heart range. It's been just phenomenal for me. Some people are saying that it does help. I think it's Dr. Fung who says to get your core body temperature up because when it comes to some of these viruses, and it is harder for them to live in heat. There is nothing like a little hard exercise to make that happen. Get that old cardio going. Alright, so back to what we should be doing on the physical side when it comes to working from home. I have a separate workspace, and I'm blessed to have it. We built this house, 25-30 years ago, now. When we designed the house, we created an office off of the back. It reminds me I'm thinking back of that I had two T-1 data lines in here, which was like crazy fast, who could use so much data? It cost about $5,000 a month. Can you believe that back in that day and age, it was rather expensive? Now we've got three and a half gigabits worth of data up and down here. Because, as you know, I run all types of pieces of training and everything right out of here. It has been phenomenal. It's so much cheaper. It's like a 10th of the price of what it used to be for those two T-1 lines, and I have way way more bandwidth, and it is a lot faster, a lot cheaper. I do have that physically separate workspace, but it isn't necessary. You don't need a dedicated office. And I remember thinking that I did and I went out, and I said, you know, I'm not going to rent space for my company per se, like go out and rent this office and have room for Secretary and other people or whatever. And I went to one of these rental things where you can get space as you need it. I went to Regis, so I went to, and we got an office, and we used it rarely, right because it was home. Why not work at home because this is remote work, right? I was remotely working doing stuff for clients. I found it was such a pain to go there, and then you have the office space to maintain, but again, I have a physical office off the back of the house, which is great. What you might need to do is to find a room with a door that closes. In many cases where you have a much smaller living space, that could be impossible, right? What doors do you have? You have closets, and you have the bathroom, maybe you have a bedroom door, maybe you have, you know, the living space and the bedroom space all in one. And, heck, I've lived in those spaces before myself. Here's what you should do. You need to have a space that's dedicated for you to work, and that can just be a corner of the room. That can be a chair that you the chair that you have that you turn around to a specific angle. A small desk set up in a corner, a table a folding table that you pull out a laptop, But that you put on the end of the kitchen table, anything like that, so that you have a space that you go to that is prepared for you to work. And the idea behind this is a fascinating psychological principle that when you have a physical area that you go to that is set up for doing a certain type of work, and your body will go into that mode. It's kind of like when you go to bed at night, and you should not be doing what I do. I don't do this at night, I do in the morning, but sitting there with your laptop or sitting there with your cell phone and doing stuff on it. Your bedroom is for sleeping and maybe one or two other activities. That is so that your brain gets trained that when you go into your bedroom, and you lay on your bed, it says, Oh, it's time to go to sleep. And you then go to sleep. It's the same sort of thing. You're Going with you've got that laptop at the same end of the kitchen table, your brain says, Oh, I'm going to work now. You don't want to use a place like your bedroom or the couch, Chesterfield. sofa, whatever you call it. It should be a place that is not used for relaxation but used only for work. Now, the other trick is to train other members of your household to understand that when you are in this space, I am working. You should not bother me. You shouldn't be coming to me with questions, etc. and let them know that hey, you are going to be around during coffee breaks if you will. And you'll be glad to take their questions, and you'll be glad to do the "honey-do's" then, you know those little things that your husband or your wife wants you to do. It's going to take a little bit of trial and error to figure out what's going to work For you, but it is going to be important. Some people find that one of the hardest parts of working from home is the part that I explained to the very beginning of this discussion, and that is that you can end up working 24 seven. In reality, the best way to do it is to start work around the same time every day ended around the same time, take your breaks, including meals about the same time, every day. Again, don't eat in the work areas, don't sleep in them, don't lounge in them. But, you know, I don't intend to eat at my desk, and I do that less lately now that I've been thinking more about it and thinking critically about it. I try and go to the kitchen to eat, and that does make a difference. You also need to be careful about kind of stir crazy. So you should get up every once in a while, walk outside if you can, I use something called the Pomodoro Technique. I use a timer in which I use a timer that says, okay, you're doing 20 minutes' worth of work right now. So what are you going to do? What's your goal? What are you going to accomplish in this 20 minutes, you set that little timer. I use software for it. But in retrospect, one of those little kitchen timers, you know, the little tomato things where you, you twist the top, and now you've got your 20-minute timer going would be more than enough. That might be kind of nice because it sits there going tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, reminding you that you have work to do right. Now the other side of this is feeling a little isolated at times. We'll talk about some of the applications that you might want to use to collaborate and work together. Also, other rules that I think are important for us as we work from home. It's a little different if you're trying to start an at-home business, I think most of these rules still apply. Still, it's a little bit different than working from home for an employer who expects specific results at certain times and expects certain types of unification. So we'll talk a bit about that when we get back as well. You're listening to Craig Peterson. Make sure that you go to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe right now. Craig Peterson, that's S-O-N slash subscribe and get on some of these webinars I'm holding this week, and we'll be right back on WGAN. Hi guys, welcome back. Craig Peterson here on WGAN. You know you can get me as well every Wednesday morning on with Ken and Matt at about 738. Last week I got bumped by the governor, but you know what the heck? It's an excellent way to get my segment bumped, I guess. Usually, every Wednesday at 7:38 am with Ken and Matt, and of course, online, you can catch me on pretty much every streaming platform out there. And make sure you join me for these webinars we're having over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be going into more detail answering every question you guys have on working from home, the technology to do it, the ways to do it securely. We're opening up our calendar for people who need some help with their businesses. How to get this working securely, using the existing equipment we have, and maybe some free software to get my people who are working at home, working efficiently and effectively, so I'm going to be doing some webinars on that as well. Let's finish up the topic of workspaces when you're working from home. One of the essential things to also consider is, if you do have enough room while you're working from home to have more than one space, then you can do something quite useful, very efficient, and that is you use different areas for different work tasks. So, for instance, in my case, I am running the business paying bills, depositing checks, doing all that sort of thing. So I have one space where I do that. I have another area where I'm at right now that I use when I'm doing my radio show, television interviews, running webinars, that's another space. I have yet another area when I'm reading or trying to do some studying. I have a space for meditation. All I'm doing is moving around in one room. That's all you need to do to program your brain. When I am in this position, when I'm sitting in this chair facing this direction, I'm doing this. Then with the Pomodoro Technique, where you're spending 20-minutes doing something and then taking a 10-minute break, I always get up, I walk out of the area entirely. I might talk to the family, get myself a glass of water or a cup of coffee, whatever it might be, and do a little socializing and help with whatever needs doing. Then I go back to my space. I get back to work. It's a unique way of working. If you do have people around that can help you with feeling a sense of social connection. But if you're working remotely, you can feel isolated at times. As part of your routine, you're going to want to try and interact with your co-workers regularly. It's kind of like the old water bottle, where you all kind of meet around there and chat and talk and what did you do last weekend? You know, don't feel bad about talking that way. We all need that even if you're an introvert. We need to have relationships with other people. We need to talk to other people. What we do in the office is we use one of these team apps. Now the one we use is the only one that's secure for doing all of this. That is Cisco WebEx, and they have different levels. We use the most secure level. Now, if you are a doctor, I've got to point out right now that there are some temporary rules in place that's part of this whole Covid-19 or Wuhan virus thing that allows you to use things like Slack and Skype, neither of which are secure. Keep that in mind. Those rules will change again, and HIPAA regulations will not allow you to use them. We use WebEx. You can get it for free right now for 90 days. It is phenomenal. It isn't just for meetings, and you know where you've got the camera on your laptop or your computer, and you are having a remote meeting, and you can see everyone, which is wonderful. But it is also for the team collaboration-side of things, where you can have rooms where you can all chat with each other. Now, one of the other advantages of using Cisco WebEx is over everything else is that it provides any level of security that allows people who are outside of your organization as part of a team. So we haven't set up, so some of our vendors are in certain team rooms, and we can talk to them our customers are in individual team rooms so we can talk to them. Now, we have the whole thing fully integrated with our phone system as well. If people call, it drops the transcription of that voice message they might have left into a room for so we can see it all in Cisco teams. If you want, you can go and set it up yourself. But, if you need a little help, or here's the other side. If you purchase it through us, we can set you up with a more advanced demo than you can get on the website. So again, you can just email me at Craig Peterson dot com if you are interested. I'd appreciate it. You know, we don't make any money off of it from the demo. Hopefully, you're going to continue to use it, and we make a couple of bucks a month from it. We can provide you a little bit of support and a little bit of training. It's a good thing, just email me at Craig Peterson dot com, and we can help you with that. We also integrate things like WebEx into large phone systems. It's actually what the military uses, and what the White House uses. They have some very, very secure systems as well, depending on what you need. Keep in mind all of the CMMC regulations that are going into effect in June. If you have to have it for compliance, CMMC, HIPAA, high tech, etc. It is the system for you. You can get the necessary set up for free by going to WebEx dot com. However, if you want a little bit more, I'd appreciate it. If you'd come through my company, Mainstream. Do me a favor and just reach out to me. That's me at Craig Peterson dot com. My team and I can help you out there with getting it all set up and Mgetting you in the place you need to be. So there you go chat over these messaging apps, hold meetings with them. The one you might want to look at, as I said, WebEx is the only one integrated and completely secure at the levels we can provide to you. You cannot get it on their general website. You have to get it from a Cisco partner like my company. Slack is great, and I have used it a lot in the past, but it is just not secure. It is not even close to providing the features that WebEx provides. You might look at Zoom, although it is terrifically insecure, but not as vulnerable as Skype is. But Zoom is quite bad. They made some major design decisions that opened up security holes you can drive a Mack truck through. It is just crazy. I do use Zoom but never for applications where security is an issue. If you've been on some of my webinars, some get hosted on zoom. Mainly because a lot of people use it and are familiar with how it works. I'm not so worried about security on Zoom for my webinars.The problem with the Zoom from a security standpoint is Zoom has a back door. They punched out of the network to allow them to control some of the aspects of your zoom conferences. That why we don't use or allow its use in any of our clients that have CMMC or high tech restrictions. That is a big No-No. They recently got slapped by the regulators. Check these things out. If you are using Microsoft Office, three 365, they have some collaboration tools too. I'm going to talk more about the collaboration tools and my webinars again this week, and we covered some last week. I have not made replays available of these webinars because I want you to attend them live if you can. I think coming up, and I will make replays available. So if you register, I will let you watch a replay. But I want you guys on these webinars. I know 70% of people say they will never attend a webinar and never sign up for a webinar. These are not high-pressure pitch event events. They are where I'm trying to help you out trying to get you going and trying to answer your questions. Okay. So make sure you do sign up. Now the last rule and the rule that I violate most often is trying to end work at the same time every day. So obviously there's going to be times when there are deadlines or project needs after hours, attention. There are times where I mentioned that I would work 24 hours, I've gone three days straight to try and solve a problem which we didn't cause, but the client needed to have solved. We stepped in and worked with other vendors, and we got the problem solved. In most situations after 10 pm work, email can wait until the following day for a response. Remember when we're at the end these work at home environments, that some people are going to start work at 6 am, some at nine, some at noon, and complete their jobs 8 to 10 hours later. They might be on a schedule where an 8 pm email goes out from them. We all project right, and they're going to project, and they're going to kind of expect you to be working the same hours they're working, although that's not necessarily the case. Even though they may sound a little anxious, get them used to the fact You're working from eight till five. And that's it. I'll get back to you tomorrow. Don't even respond to the email that comes in at 10 pm. I think that's important for a lot of people's sanity. For me, I just enjoy this so much. If I did not get paid to do it, I'd still do it. As you know, I do a lot of it and don't get paid for it. I guess that is a testament to the bottom line. Wow, the hour is up, I can't believe it. We're going to the top of the next hour. When we get back, we're going to talk about what you need to think about from your ISP, your internet service provider. That's how you get your internet. So what are some of the considerations here? What has the FCC done this week? What are some of the major providers doing as well? To make our lives and work from home a little bit easier, and don't forget, you know, I'm going to repeat this, sign up, sign up now so you can get all of this information. You can find out about my webinars that we're going to be doing some of the classes all of the free stuff, I want to help you out. Craig peterson.com slash subscribe. That's why I've been on the air now for about 25 years, just trying to help people understand what's going on in the security realm, the technology realm, and we need to understand it right now. So stick around. We're going to talk about that ISP and what that means to you. What are the things you need to consider and subscribe to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe, and you're listening to me on WGAN and, of course, and online at Craig Peterson dot com. Hey guys, welcome back. Craig Peterson here, of course on WGAN online at Craig Peterson calm. We had millions of people this week, working from home for the first time connecting to their offices trying to get things done trying to do a little collaboration and getting themselves in a little trouble as well. We have seen a significant increase in security problems because of people working at home. But I guess that shouldn't be a huge surprise to anybody that listens here. I have already done some webinars about working from home. I explained the pros and cons of working from home, and some of the technology required to be secure at home. And we're going to be doing more of those free webinars this coming week. We're going to start getting a little more long tail, if you will, drilling down deeper into some topics like VPNs, what are the best ones to use? When do they work? Well, when don't they work? We're going to be talking about your firewalls at the house and the office, and should you be linking them together? How can you split your network? When should you? Why should you, we're going to be covering in a lot more detail some of the questions that we've had popped up and people have been asking us. Then, of course, as always, we will take all of your questions. If you don't want to attend a webinar, if you have made the oath of never attend webinars, then you can always email me just me at Craig Peterson dor com or respond to one of the emails I send out about these webinars. If there are enough people interested, maybe what we should do is take it and get a webinar transcribed for you, maybe some screenshots. Perhaps you can even suggest what might work for you if you don't want to attend a webinar. But they have been very well attended. I've been quite pleased with that. That's after only making one announcement this last week. There was one email that went out is a little bit more than a week ago. I've been working with those people that responded. There are a lot of people I know that want to know more. So make sure you pass it along as well. If you have friends or family or other co-workers that have questions or if your boss has questions. If they're not letting you work from home and you want to work from home, make sure your boss gets on one of these webinars as well. And you can sign up to find out more about them. Just go to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe, and we will be sending you all have that information. As part of signing up, you'll get some different cheat sheets. I think I have included three different cheat sheets. Some of them are multi-page, to help you with your online security, which is, of course, very, very important. We see an uptick in business, email compromises, and other things that are out there. We'll tell you a bit about that in the next segment. We will discuss what is going on with the whole Coronavirus and its ties into security problems. Well, we have had our president deregulating like crazy now for a week or two. Some people would say that our president is stupid. I think it's a brilliant thing to get rid of some of this regulation. You know, we don't live in a socialist country. However, we have many of the problems present in socialist countries. It can take years to get anything through these vast bureaucracies. Bureaucracy has a mind of their own, whether it's socialist, or in our case, a more of a free-market society. Cutting through the red tape meant this last week that they made some changes at the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission. Our FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, has done some amazing things so far with making it just so much more streamlined than smooth out items for customers. He got rid of some of the crazy stuff that was in the works previously, which would have increased at the internet expense for everybody. There are so many crazy things going on in increased regulation. The FCC has been putting pressure on internet service providers. These are the companies you're familiar Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon, all of your phone carriers. With everybody using smartphones now that we have people who are working from home. So one of my daughters, for instance, works in a call center. And what they have done is sent home their call center people with laptops, that they then connect up to the internet. And in this case, it was a hard-wired internet that you needed to have because she's in the financial services arena. And of course, right, it's my house. So, of course, we have Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, in fact, gigabit for her out to the internet, no problem. And so she hooked up, and she's able to get onto the systems at work, but the way it works With her for the call center and this is very common for call center people working at home or out of the office is the call center software placed a phone call to her cell phone. So now her T Mobile cell phone is going to be racking up thousands of minutes. That could be a problem. So the FCC has been putting pressure on internet service providers and these phone companies etc. to do a couple of things. All of the major ISPs are committed and have pledged to waive late fees and keep customers connected when they miss payments due to this coronavirus pandemic. Now, of course, I get a little bit concerned about what happens if you miss payments for two months or three months? Because you just don't have the income, right? You lost your job. Maybe you were getting paid hourly piecemeal work whatever You don't have a regular paycheck, so you're not getting unemployment. Now you've got three months' worth of bills. The coronavirus is declared, you know, over or was victorious. So whatever the endpoint is on this thing, which is always a problem, right? It's like we go to war. And so how do we, how do we know that we've succeeded in that, but anyways, it comes, and now you have a three months payment to make, or they're going to catch off. So hopefully, that's not going to happen. They call this the keep Americans connected pledge. And we'll see, the FCC has not been able to convince these internet service providers to waive their data caps during the pandemic, but some of them may end up doing that. Home internet mobile providers that sign this pledge include all tests at TNT CenturyLink charter, Comcast Cox, frontier media comm sprint, T Mobile track phone US Cellular, Verizon, Windstream, and dozens of other small ones. Here's the pledge itself. Number one, not terminate service to any residential or Small business customers' because of their inability to pay their bills due to disruptions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Number two waive any late fees that any residential or small business customers incur because of their economic circumstances related to the Coronavirus pandemic, you know, how are you going to prove this stuff to these guys? Number three, open its Wi-Fi hotspots to any American who needs them. So that is actually that third one is kind of handy. Because I know a lot of people have over the years jumped onto their neighbor's Wi-Fi service unbeknownst to their neighbor, right? They were over at their house one time and got the password and continued to use it. Well, for instance, with Comcast, if you see an Xfinity Wi-Fi anywhere, and they are pretty much everywhere you see an Xfinity Wi-Fi, you can now hop on and use it for free. Which is when frankly pretty good for people. The FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said I don't want any American consumers experiencing hardships because of the pandemic to lose connectivity. It's a good thing that they're stepping up, and it's going to help maintain this social distancing. He also called these broadband providers to relax or data cap policies. But we'll see if they do the pledge doesn't require that. at&t said that it's waiving home internet data caps. So that's a good thing. And see overcharges are for raising profit, so they're not going to do that Comcast had not promised as of this last week anyway when I did some research on it. He's also asking telephone carriers to waive long-distance and overage fees. And even that ISP says surf schools and libraries should work with them on remote learning opportunities. So this is all excellent stuff, right? Up and restriction. So some of these companies have automatically Comcast doubled the amount of bandwidth available to some customers, other customers increased the bandwidth by 50%, which is good. That's going to help from working from home. Remember, and you've got upstream and downstream bandwidth. If you're working from home, that upstream might be the killer for you. So we'll see what happens here. The FCC has done some things that pushed them in the right direction. You know there are both pros and cons to all of this, as there always is. Now, we have coming up this week, several webinars, free webinars, I'm going to be doing deep dives, these are live. I'm answering all of your questions in real-time. You are going to want to attend these, believe me, whether you're a home user business user, whether you're working from home, or not lots of great information.

So make sure you check that out and sign up Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe. So let's get into our next article about the Coronavirus maps. I got one of these weeks ago, and it was an email sent out to the media. Come check this out. We've put together this new map. And at the time, I didn't think twice about it. I do have multiple layers of security on this network and multiple-layers of protection on my Mac as well. I clicked on it, right, duh. And I was taken to a site that did have a map. I was lucky because I did have the advanced malware protection, the AMP stack from Cisco on my Mac, and it was all appropriately caught by the firepower firewall. I think it is what found it at the network edge. It saw it and what it was doing and stopped it immediately. Even this spread of coronavirus you want to call it Covid-19, which is similar to the SARS. Coronavirus, also known as Wuhan virus, which is where it started. We've got, you know Lyme disease because it began in Lyme, Connecticut, SARS, you know, all of these diseases because of the rivers, they were first found out and stuff, but whatever, this Cova 19, we'll just call it that, which is the disease. But the bad guys are using this as an opportunity to spread malware and to launch cyber attacks. They were fast about doing that. There's a threat analysis report that was released by this company called reason cybersecurity. They had a good look at this to get an idea of what's going on. They found a file called Coronavirus map.com.xe. Yeah, how's that for common right.com.xe, which is where they will try and get you to download it thinking it's an executable. That could be helpful, helpful for you. But in fact, it's not. But there are a lot of people who have downloaded it. I'm looking right now at a table showing where downloads are occurring. What's going on? How many engines detect it. And here's an example of how useless antivirus software is nowadays. As of now, now, this is about two weeks that this particular piece of malware has been in the wild, about two weeks 58 out of the 72 engines that they tested over virus total, only 58 of these antivirus engines even detect it as being a problem. Ours identified it about two weeks ago. So you know, again, more reason not to trust antivirus software in many ways. That's not what we're talking about right now. What we're doing now is this is a new threat, and they're using an old malware trick. And this is kind of part of the whole business email compromise stuff that we've heard about over the last couple of years. I've talked about it. The FBI has published statistics, and we're talking about many billions of dollars victims have had stolen. A very, very big deal. We've got local state officials, federal officials, who have been trying to track it down. The US Attorney's in the Northern District of Georgia, came out saying that dozens are getting charged in this Atlanta based money laundering operation. It funneled $30 million in proceeds from computer fraud schemes, romance scams, and retirement account fraud. It is all stuff that we've talked about before on this show. This announcement was last Friday. Friday the 13th was a bad day for those guys. It says that federal agents have arrested 24 individuals for their involvement in a large scale fraud and money laundering operation that targeted citizens, corporations, and financial institutions throughout the United States. Business email compromise schemes, romance fraud scams, and retirement account scams, among other frauds, duped numerous victims into losing more than $30 million in the course this release goes on for quite a ways. But the bottom line is this new Cova 19 scam where they are saying, Hey, here's a map. You can download it well that one's giving you a virus when you go ahead and try and do that. Of course, their more advanced malware platforms are not going to Luck that through. The next one is business email compromise schemes. And this is where they try and trick businesses into thinking that they owe money to somebody, they need to wire money to somebody, they haven't paid a vendor, etc., etc. It's a standard scheme, and it's up right now. The romance fraud scams, I suspect those are going to be pretty successful right now as people are self-isolating and maybe are feeling though a little bit isolated. And the romance fraud scams are things like, you know, getting somebody to kind of fall in love with you appreciate you. And then you go ahead and say, you know, I've got this bill hospital bill, it's 2000 3000. It's $5,000. And in some cases, it's my nephew, my knees, my wife or ex-wife or whatever. Right. And they have already scammed you into feeling for them, and then they get you to send them money. In some cases, it's Hey, I want to meet in person. And it's going to cost you know, 20 $500 for me to fly over there. And people are wiring them the money. So there's your romance fraud, scam, retirement accounts scams. Oh, man. It's, especially in these cases, with a down market right now. It's, hey, you know, we've got a certified investment plan, and we are still even in these downtime showing the return of 5% or more, you know, they don't want to make it sound like it's too good. And get people to wire the money into their accounts. Think of Bernie Madoff and what he did many other frauds, and they're trying to dupe the victim. So we have to be very careful when we're out there. Watch for online fake dating profiles, third party administrators for retirement investment. So these, see these are the people that have a whole list of them. Just a glance is showing they're about 30 years old in general. That's a shame. There are a lot of foreign-sounding names. All of the people are in Georgia, except for a couple in Texas. Somebody in Nigeria has an A in Missouri. Alright, when we get back, we're going to talk about the next topic here Comcast and T Mobile. Some other things when it comes to working from home. Make sure you get on to my email list so that you can get notified about this week's webinars and other topics at Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe. You are listening to WGAN. We'll be right back. Hey, welcome back, everybody, Craig Peterson, here. Glad you guys could be with me today we've only got about a half an hour left in today's show with a few more topics to cover. But this has been a big week for people all over the world. For the very first time, many are working from home. That this includes, of course, people right here, people across the United States, Canada, Mexico, even France. Although the demonstrators are wandering the streets over there trying to spread the disease, well, they are French. Now and shout out to all of our people who listen from France. We do have people listening in France, so they know what I'm talking about. I have been putting together some detailed deep-dive webinars for this coming week, where I'm going to be answering all of your questions. I might do one or two Facebook Lives. We'll see how it all goes. I'm not a big Facebook Live fan myself, but you know many people are. So maybe you would like to get involved if you would.

It is about security and what the top patches are this month that you need to worry about a little bit of a deep dive there. We give you all kinds of links to the sites to find out exactly what to install, how to install it, what to do with it. All kinds of stuff that you won't get anywhere else, and you're going to get it for free. Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe where you need to sign up. Make sure you go there and go there right now so that you don't forget Craig Peterson dot com slash, subscribe, believe me, I'm not going to be pestering you. I'm telling you all kinds of great stuff. Hardly anybody ends up unsubscribing. It is very, very rare. I have one of the highest open rates in the entire industry near as I can tell in talking with other people, and that's because people appreciate it. You know, I appreciate you guys too. I have been talking a little bit about tools on some of these webinars. I did a deep dive, and I'm going to do a deeper dive this coming week about the tools you can use when you're working from home. If you're a business owner or an IT person, you will hear about the types of tools that are going to help your teams. One of the things that I just wanted to bring up here now is that Comcast and T-Mobile have both said they are going to upgrade everyone to unlimited data for the next 60 days. They are going to suspend the enforcement of the data cap and overage fees during the Coronavirus pandemic. I think that's good. The statement says while the vast majority of our customers do not come close to using one terabyte of data in a month, we are pausing our data plans for 60 days giving all customers unlimited data for no additional charge. Normally Comcast charges an extra $50 per month for unlimited data or $10 for each additional block of 50G after you exceed one terabyte. They're also making their Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots free for anyone to use. I mentioned that earlier in the show. So if you are somewhere and you need the internet, and you see a Wi-Fi network called Xfinity, you can hop on and use it. Now from a security standpoint, there are considerations, and we go into those in more depth in the webinars coming up this week. And I have a whole course that gets into a lot of depth on that. But it's great Xfinity just look for that Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone, no matter where you are. They have millions of them all over the country. Anyone that has Comcast, for the internet is going to be providing unbeknownst to them, and affinity Wi-Fi hotspot, okay? Now, normally they are free to Comcast customers, and everybody else needs to buy a pass to use them. They're going to be free for 60 days. They are the largest home internet provider in the nation. And I know there's not a whole lot of them in some of our communities, but they are very, very big at&t, which is the second biggest home internet provider that enforces data caps announced that it would waive the caps as well. So that's great news, frankly, unlimited smartphone data for the next 60 days. Excluding roaming, By the way, so don't think you can get roaming for free, and that applies to any T-Mobile plan Metro by T-Mobile prepaid pant plan as well. It's also giving all of its T-Mobile customers an additional 20 Giga mobile hotspot tethering service for the next 60 days. Sprint, which is being acquired right now by T-Mobile, is taking No coal steps. So there you go. There are your main guys now really, it's just it's down to Comcast is providing smartphone service, not using all their towers though, and T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint are all doing it. Now to help low-income Americans, T-Mobile is working with Lifeline. And it's going to provide customers and extra free data up to five gigabytes and gigabytes I should say, per month over the next two months. Lifeline, by the way, is a federal program. It gives discounted service to people with low incomes, and many Lifeline providers resell T-Mobile service instead of having networks of their own. By the way, T-Mobile also has a 55 and older plan for those of us who are in that age group, and they have discounts for that group as well. So there you go. There is a lot to cover. center there, and thanks to Comcast, at&t, T-Mobile, and the dozens of other ISVs that are going to be providing us with more service for free during these tougher times. Now, one of the things I talk a lot about when we're talking about security is linking networks and having people working from home or remote offices and the use of VPNs, and other security problems, right? Well, here's a real eye-opener. There are many businesses considered part of our critical infrastructure. The businesses that are under FINRA regulations these businesses are in the financial businesses, particularly banks, manufacturers. Anyone who's making anything for the military or DFARS contractors, but the bottom line is, the more sensitive the systems are, the less you want those systems to connected to the internet in any way. And in those cases where you've got the critical infrastructure intelligence agencies anywhere, you have higher security networks, working at home is not an option at all. Well, there are some ways around this problem. And I don't mean around it as in trying to skirt the security issues, but around it in a very secure way. And it depends on how you're working and what you're doing and really how critical and sensitive the data is. You know, the old orange book standards were there for a reason, and people can read some of the older CRTs and things remotely. These new LCDs and LED displays we have are harder to read remotely, but in those cases, forget about printing. Never going to be able to work from home right if, if the information is only available in a SCIF, forget about it, you're not going to be able to work from home, or getting kind of technology there with those TLS and SSL. But anyway, we have to be careful if we are in a business that has this type of sensitive information. So we'll talk about that when we get back. And then we have one more topic for today, and we're going to cover another angle of working at home and what does that mean to you and me, so stick around. We're going to be back. You're listening to Craig Peterson. On w GAN online. Craig Peterson dot com. And make sure you sign up on my email list right now. You have to subscribe by going to Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe, and you'll find out about all of our free resources for working at home. Stick around. We'll be right back. Hey guys, welcome back. Craig Peterson here. We've been talking a lot about working from home. And if you missed any of today's show and you are working from home or your business, who has people who are working from home or considering having people working from home, you're going to want to catch the replays of today's show. And you can usually find those right by going to Craig Peters on.com slash iTunes. You can also find it and almost anywhere in any podcast platform out there. Just search for Craig Peterson, and you'll find today's whole show they're available as a podcast. We covered a ton of topics there, and we're talking right now about those companies that are kind of high stakes security. Intelligence agencies, critical infrastructure, anybody who's developing things for the DOD contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, and we've got this whole CMC thing going on. And I'm talking with people who have attended these briefings on it and just don't understand what they need to do and how to do it. And they just won't do it because I can't believe they're required to have all this security is crazy. But here's the bottom line. Last week, the US government cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency issued an advisory to critical infrastructure companies to prepare for remote work scenarios as this whole Covid-19 spreads. They told people that they have to check that their VPN networks are up-to-date, that the companies have implemented multi-factor authentication, that they have tested out the remote access scenario. Of course, there's a lot more to it than just that. Cybersecurity consultants, like me, who work with those high stake clients know that remote work and security don't mix unless you understand what you are doing. In this Ars Technica article here, they discuss electric utilities, oil, and gas firms, manufacturing companies, and say that it's not always so simple for many of their most critical customers and even more so for intelligence agencies. It should be a wake-up call. If you are a company that has to meet any of these higher security standards. Most notably, if you have to meet the DFARS standards. The ITAR standards, the new CMMC standards, which are all of the military standards. The NIST 171 standards say

Marco has invited back his friend and long-time mirrorless camera reviewer and expert Mathieu Gasquet. Mat and his significant other - Heather - are also the founders of www.MirrorLessons.com / and www.MirrorlessComparison.com. This show is sponsored by: COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC and Skylum Luminar - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 Marco’s Street Photography exhibition: “Poetry of coincidence” will be shown at ErsteReihe.Hamburg Gallery from November 21st to December 7th. Google Map link: https://goo.gl/maps/PGaP9uhmHibQTURE6 Nikon Z50 Nikon is entering the mirrorless APS-C sensor market with this camera. This camera uses the Z-mount and offers a 21MP CMOS sensor with a 209-point Hybrid AF System. But unlike the Z6 & Z7 it does not have in-body image stabilization. But it’s also smaller and lighter than the Full Frame Z-Siblings while still offering Nikon-like grip and ergonomics. The 90° tilt-up and 180° tilt-down LCD is unique but may interfere with tripods if you want to use the LCD as a selfie screen. Nikon Z50 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2reW1Xv Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/35iefpW Olympus E-M5 III The new E-M5 III shares a lot of features of the E-M1 MK II. It has a 20MP m4/3 sensor with a 121-point phase and CDAF and a 50MP high-res mode as well as 30 fps burst and 10fps with continuous AF shooting modes. On the video side it shoots 4K up to 24p and Full HD up to 60p is supported. The EVF now moved from an LCD to an OLED system which should improve the viewing experience. And Olympus continues to make their cameras more weatherproof - a feature that I have started to appreciate - when it works - in recent months. The E-M5 MK III is now IPX-1 rated. Bluetooth has also been added for better connectivity with your mobile devices. Olympus E-M5 III B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Xzrfol Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2XxmnjB Sony a9 II After 2.5 years in production, Sony’s flagship sports camera gets a refined update. While the sensor and amount of AF pixel stayed the same, the new processor improves overall responsiveness and AF tracking reliability. The mechanical shutter can now shoot 10 fps. A second UHS-II SD card slot also improves the ability to offload the images fast to SD-cards. But the upgrade from 100 Mbit to a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port plus implementation of 5GHz ac Wi-Fi also helps to offload the images quickly to the photo agencies. Sony a9 II B&H: https://bhpho.to/34cqILW Leica SL2 Leica announced an update to their Full Frame SL camera line. The camera has a 47MP FF CMOS sensor with CDAF and now finally a 5-axis IBIS is built-in. A 187MP high res mode enables the user to create huge high-quality prints. And a 5.76M-dot OLED EVF is also a useful improvement. The camera allows for 10 fps burst shooting with mechanical shutter and locked AF which drops to 6fps in continuous AF mode. And pretty much all of these are the specs of the Panasonic Lumix S1R, too. But the Leica does have a different body design and it has a beautiful top plate LCD as well as 2 SD-card slots instead of the 1 SD and 1 XQD slot on the S1 and S1R. What’s lacking on the Leica is a tilting LCD screen. At launch, the SL2 is priced at $6000 US and is about twice the price of the Lumix S1R. Leica SL II B&H: https://bhpho.to/2KDRAg3 Panasonic Lumix S1R B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ Mirrorless question of the month: Hello Marco, I have my Olympus EM-10 for 3 years now. Time to upgrade? Not so sure, I'm wondering if I rather keep it until I will start to see mechanical or electronic issues? The new EM-10 and 5 mark III are more capable (better image stabilization, more pixels, better Continuous autofocus...) but I still enjoy my ''old'' camera and knows its limitations. I think I would rather invest the money in lenses, travels or workshops, no? What do you think?

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is here! https://www.adafruit.com/product/4292 #RaspberryPi4 #RaspberryPi #adafruit The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the newest Raspberry Pi computer made, and the Pi Foundation knows you can always make a good thing better! And what could make the Pi 4 better than the 3? How about a faster processor, USB 3.0 ports, and updated Gigabit Ethernet chip with PoE capability? Good guess - that's exactly what they did! The Raspberry Pi 4 is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi range, boasting an updated 64-bit quad core processor running at 1.4GHz with built-in metal heatsink, USB 3 ports, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN, faster (300 mbps) Ethernet, and PoE capability via a separate PoE HAT. You can still use all your favorite Raspbian or PIXEL software with this update. You MUST make sure to upgrade your Raspbian operating system install to the latest version so that the firmware can support the new chips! Old SD cards from previous releases will not work without a upgrade! The dual-band wireless LAN comes with modular compliance certification, that's the metal tin in the corner of the Pi, with the logo stamped on it. This allows the board to be designed into end products with significantly reduced wireless LAN compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market.

TrueOS Stable 18.03 released, a look at F-stack, the secret to an open source business model, intro to jails and jail networking, FreeBSD Foundation March update, and the ipsec Errata. Headlines TrueOS STABLE 18.03 Release The TrueOS team is pleased to announce the availability of a new STABLE release of the TrueOS project (version 18.03). This is a special release due to the security issues impacting the computing world since the beginning of 2018. In particular, mitigating the “Meltdown” and “Spectre” system exploits make it necessary to update the entire package ecosystem for TrueOS. This release does not replace the scheduled June STABLE update, but provides the necessary and expected security updates for the STABLE release branch of TrueOS, even though this is part-way through our normal release cycle. Important changes between version 17.12 and 18.03 “Meltdown” security fixes: This release contains all the fixes to FreeBSD which mitigate the security issues for systems that utilize Intel-based processors when running virtual machines such as FreeBSD jails. Please note that virtual machines or jails must also be updated to a version of FreeBSD or TrueOS which contains these security fixes. “Spectre” security mitigations: This release contains all current mitigations from FreeBSD HEAD for the Spectre memory-isolation attacks (Variant 2). All 3rd-party packages for this release are also compiled with LLVM/Clang 6 (the “retpoline” mitigation strategy). This fixes many memory allocation issues and enforces stricter requirements for code completeness and memory usage within applications. Unfortunately, some 3rd-party applications became unavailable as pre-compiled packages due to non-compliance with these updated standards. These applications are currently being fixed either by the upstream authors or the FreeBSD port maintainers. If there are any concerns about the availability of a critical application for a specific workflow, please search through the changelog of packages between TrueOS 17.12 and 18.03 to verify the status of the application. Most systems will need microcode updates for additional Spectre mitigations. The microcode updates are not enabled by default. This work is considered experimental because it is in active development by the upstream vendors. If desired, the microcode updates are available with the new devcpu-data package, which is available in the Appcafe. Install this package and enable the new microcode_update service to apply the latest runtime code when booting the system. Important security-based package updates LibreSSL is updated from version 2.6.3 -> 2.6.4 Reminder: LibreSSL is used on TrueOS to build any package which does not explicitly require OpenSSL. All applications that utilize the SSL transport layer are now running with the latest security updates. Browser updates: (Keep in mind that many browsers have also implemented their own security mitigations in the aftermath of the Spectre exploit.) Firefox: 57.0.1 -> 58.0.2 Chromium: 61.0.3163.100 -> 63.0.3239.132 Qt5 Webengine (QupZilla, Falkon, many others): 5.7.1 -> 5.9.4 All pre-compiled packages for this release are built with the latest versions of LLVM/Clang, unless the package explicitly requires GCC. These packages also utilize the latest compile-time mitigations for memory-access security concerns. F-Stack F-Stack is an user space network development kit with high performance based on DPDK, FreeBSD TCP/IP stack and coroutine API. http://www.f-stack.org Introduction With the rapid development of NIC, the poor performance of data packets processing with Linux kernel has become the bottleneck. However, the rapid development of the Internet needs high performance of network processing, kernel bypass has caught more and more attentions. There are various similar technologies appear, such as DPDK, NETMAP and PF_RING. The main idea of kernel bypass is that Linux is only used to deal with control flow, all data streams are processed in user space. Therefore, kernel bypass can avoid performance bottlenecks caused by kernel packet copying, thread scheduling, system calls and interrupts. Furthermore, kernel bypass can achieve higher performance with multi optimizing methods. Within various techniques, DPDK has been widely used because of its more thorough isolation from kernel scheduling and active community support. F-Stack is an open source network framework with high performance based on DPDK. With following characteristics Ultra high network performance which can achieve network card under full load, 10 million concurrent connections, 5 million RPS, 1 million CPS. Transplant FreeBSD 11.01 user space stack, provides a complete stack function, cut a great amount of irrelevant features. Therefore greatly enhance the performance. Support Nginx, Redis and other mature applications, service can easily use F-Stack With Multi-process architecture, easy to extend Provide micro thread interface. Various applications with stateful app can easily use F-Stack to get high performance without processing complex asynchronous logic. Provide Epoll/Kqueue interface that allow many kinds of applications easily use F-Stack History In order to deal with the increasingly severe DDoS attacks, authorized DNS server of Tencent Cloud DNSPod switched from Gigabit Ethernet to 10-Gigabit at the end of 2012. We faced several options, one is to continue to use the original model another is to use kernel bypass technology. After several rounds of investigation, we finally chose to develop our next generation of DNS server based on DPDK. The reason is DPDK provides ultra-high performance and can be seamlessly extended to 40G, or even 100G NIC in the future. After several months of development and testing, DKDNS, high-performance DNS server based on DPDK officially released in October 2013. It's capable of achieving up to 11 million QPS with a single 10GE port and 18.2 million QPS with two 10GE ports. And then we developed a user-space TCP/IP stack called F-Stack that can process 0.6 million RPS with a single 10GE port. With the fast growth of Tencent Cloud, more and more services need higher network access performance. Meanwhile, F-Stack was continuous improving driven by the business growth, and ultimately developed into a general network access framework. But this TCP/IP stack couldn't meet the needs of these services while continue to develop and maintain a complete network stack will cost high, we've tried several plans and finally determined to port FreeBSD(11.0 stable) TCP/IP stack into F-Stack. Thus, we can reduce the cost of maintenance and follow up the improvement from community quickly.Thanks to libplebnet and libuinet, this work becomes a lot easier. With the rapid development of all kinds of application, in order to help different APPs quick and easily use F-Stack, F-Stack has integrated Nginx, Redis and other commonly used APPs, and a micro thread framework, and provides a standard Epoll/Kqueue interface. Currently, besides authorized DNS server of DNSPod, there are various products in Tencent Cloud has used the F-Stack, such as HttpDNS (D+), COS access module, CDN access module, etc.. iXsystems Leadership Is The Secret To An Open Source Business Model A Forbes article by Mike Lauth, CEO of iXsystems There is a good chance you’ve never heard of open source software and an even greater one that you’re using it every day without even realizing it. Open source software is computer software that is available under a variety of licenses that all encourage the sharing of the software and its underlying source code. Open source has powered the internet from day one and today powers the cloud and just about everything connected to it from your mobile phone to virtually every internet of things device. FreeNAS is one of two open source operating systems that my company, iXsystems, develops and distributes free of charge and is at the heart of our line of TrueNAS enterprise storage products. While some of our competitors sell storage software similar to FreeNAS, we not only give it away but also do so with truly no strings attached -- competitors can and do take FreeNAS and build products based on it with zero obligation to share their changes. The freedom to do so is the fundamental tenet of permissively licensed open source software, and while it sounds self-defeating to be this generous, we’ve proven that leadership, not licensing, is the true secret to a successful open source business model. We each have our own personal definition of what is fair when it comes to open source. At iXsystems, we made a conscious decision to base FreeNAS and TrueOS on the FreeBSD operating system developed by the FreeBSD project. We stand on the shoulders of giants by using FreeBSD and we consider it quite reasonable to give back on the same generous terms that the FreeBSD project offers us. We could be selective in what we provide free of charge, but we believe that doing so would be short-sighted. In the long game we’re playing, the leadership we provide over the open source projects we produce is infinitely more important than any restrictions provided by the licenses of those and other open source projects. Twenty years in, we have no reason to change our free-software-on-great-hardware business model and giving away the software has brought an unexpected side-benefit: the largest Q/A department in the world, staffed by our passionate users who volunteer to let us know every thought they have about our software. We wouldn’t change a thing, and I encourage you to find exactly what win-win goodwill you and your company can provide to your constituents to make them not just a customer base but a community. Drive The Conversation It took a leap of faith for us to give away the heart of our products in exchange for a passionate community, but doing so changes your customer's relationship with your brand from priced to priceless. This kind of relationship leverages a social contract instead of a legal one. Taking this approach empowers your users in ways they will not experience with other companies and it is your responsibility to lead, rather than control them with a project like FreeNAS Relieve Customer Pain Points With Every New Release Responsiveness to the needs of your constituents is what distinguishes project leadership from project dictatorship. Be sure to balance your vision for your products and projects with the “real world” needs of your users. While our competition can use the software we develop, they will at best wow users with specific features rather than project-wide ones. Never underestimate how grateful a user will be when you make their job easier. Accept That A Patent Is Not A Business Model Patents are considered the ultimate control mechanism in the technology industry, but they only provide a business model if you have a monopoly and monopolies are illegal. Resist getting hung up on the control you can establish over your customers and spend your time acquiring and empowering them. The moment you both realize that your success is mutual, you have a relationship that will last longer than any single sale. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how the relationships you build will transcend the specific companies that friends you make work for. Distinguish Leadership From Management Every company has various levels of management, but leadership is the magic that creates markets where they did not exist and aligns paying customers with value that you can deliver in a profitable manner. Leadership and vision are ultimately the most proprietary aspects of a technology business, over every patentable piece of hardware or licensable piece of software. Whether you create a new market or bring efficiency to an existing one, your leadership is your secret weapon -- not your level of control. News Roundup Introduction to Jails and Jail Networking on FreeBSD Jails basically partition a FreeBSD system into various isolated sub-systems called jails. The syscall and userspace tools first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0 (~ March 2000) with subsequent releases expanding functionality and improving existing features as well as usability. + For Linux users, jails are similar to LXC, used for resource/process isolation. Unlike LXC however, jails are a first-class concept and are well integrated into the base system. Essentially however, both offer a chroot-with-extra-separation feeling. Setting up a jail is a fairly simple process, which can essentially be split into three steps: + Place the stuff you want to run and the stuff it needs to run somewhere on your filesystem. + Add some basic configuration for the jail in jail.conf. + Fire up the jail. To confirm that the jail started successfully we can use the jls utility: We can now enter the jailed environment by using jexec, which will by default execute a root shell inside the named jail A jail can only see and use addresses that have been passed down to it by the parent system. This creates a slight problem with the loopback address: The host would probably like to keep that address to itself and not share it with any jail. Because of this, the loopback-address inside a jail is emulated by the system: + 127.0.0.1 is an alias for the first IPv4-address assigned to the jail. + ::1 is an alias for the first IPv6-address assigned to the jail. While this looks simple enough and usually works just fine[tm], it is also a source of many problems. Just imagine if your jail has only one single global IPv4 assigned to it. A daemon binding its (possibly unsecured) control port to the loopback-address would then unwillingly be exposed to the rest of the internet, which is hardly ever a good idea. + So, create an extra loopback adapter, and make the first IP in each jail a private loopback address + The tutorial goes on to cover making multiple jails share a single public IP address using NAT + It also covers more advanced concepts like ‘thin’ jails, to save some disk space if you are going to create a large number of jails, and how to upgrade them after the fact + Finally, it covers the integration with a lot of common tools, like identifying and filter jailed processes using top and ps, or using the package managers support for jails to install packages in a jail from the outside. **DigitalOcean** SmartOS release-20180315 ``` Hello All, The latest bi-weekly "release" branch build of SmartOS is up: curl -C - -O https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos-latest.iso curl -C - -O https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos-latest-USB.img.bz2 curl -C - -O https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos-latest.vmwarevm.tar.bz2 A generated changelog is here: https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos.html#20180329T002644Z The full build bits directory, for those interested, is here in Manta: /Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/20180329T002644Z Highlights Firewall rules created with fwadm(1M) can now use the PRIORITY keyword to specify a higher precedence for a rule.

Cheers, Josh Wilsdon, on behalf of the SmartOS developers https://smartos.org ``` Here's a screencap from q5sys' machine showing the output of sysinfo: https://i.imgur.com/MFkNi76.jpg FreeBSD Foundation March 2018 Update > Syzkaller update: Syzkaller is a coverage-guided system call fuzzer. It invokes syscalls with arbitrary and changing inputs, and is intended to use code coverage data to guide changes to system call inputs in order to access larger and larger portions of the kernel in the search for bugs. > Last term’s student focused largely on scripts to deploy and configure Syzkaller on Packet.net’s hosting infrastructure, but did not get to the code coverage integration required for Syzkaller to be effective. This term co-op student Mitchell Horne has been adding code coverage support in FreeBSD for Syzkaller. > The Linux code coverage support for Syzkaller is known as kcov and was submitted by Dmitry Vyukov, Syzkaller’s author. Kcov is purposebuilt for Syzkaller: > kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. > kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disabled (e.g. scheduler, locking). > Mitchell implemented equivalent functionality for FreeBSD - a distinct implementation, but modelled on the one in Linux. These patches are currently in review, as are minor changes to Syzkaller to use the new interface on FreeBSD. > We still have some additional work to fully integrate Syzkaller and run it on a consistent basis, but the brief testing that has been completed suggests this work will provide a very valuable improvement in test coverage and opportunities for system hardening: we tested Syzkaller with Mitchell's code coverage patch over a weekend. It provoked kernel crashes hundreds of times faster than without his work. > I want to say thank you to NetApp for becoming an Iridium Partner again this year! (Donations between $100,000 - $249,999) It’s companies like NetApp, who recognize the importance of supporting our efforts, that allow us to continue to provide software improvements, advocate for FreeBSD, and help lead the release engineering and security efforts. > Conference Recap: FOSSASIA 2018 Foundation Director Philip Paeps went to FOSSASIA, which is possibly the largest open source event in Asia. The FreeBSD Foundation sponsored the conference. Our booth had a constant stream of traffic over the weekend and we handed out hundreds of FreeBSD stickers, pens and flyers. Many attendees of FOSSASIA had never heard of FreeBSD before and are now keen to start exploring and perhaps even contributing. By the end of the conference, there were FreeBSD stickers everywhere! > One particular hallway-track conversation led to an invitation to present FreeBSD at a "Women Who Code" evening in Kuala Lumpur later this week (Thursday 29th March). I spent the days after the conference meeting companies who use (or want to use) FreeBSD in Singapore. > SCaLE 16x: The Foundation sponsored a FreeBSD table in the expo hall that was staffed by Dru Lavigne, Warren Block, and Deb Goodkin. Our purpose was to promote FreeBSD, and attract more users and contributors to the Project. We had a steady flow of people stopping by our table, asking inquisitive questions, and picking up some cool swag and FreeBSD handouts. Deb Goodkin took some tutorials/trainings there and talked to a lot of other open source projects. Next year, we have the opportunity to have a BSD track, similar to the BSD Devroom at FOSDEM. We are looking for some volunteers in Southern California who can help organize this one or two-day event and help us educate more people about the BSDs. Let us know if you would like to help with this effort. Roll Call: #WhoUsesFreeBSD Many of you probably saw our post on social media asking Who Uses FreeBSD. Please help us answer this question to assist us in determining FreeBSD market share data, promote how companies are successfully using FreeBSD to encourage more companies to embrace FreeBSD, and to update the list of users on our website. Knowing who uses FreeBSD helps our contributors know where to look for jobs; knowing what universities teach with FreeBSD, helps companies know where to recruit, and knowing what products use FreeBSD helps us determine what features and technologies to support. New Hosting Partner: Oregon State University Open Source Lab > We are pleased to announce that the Oregon State University (OSU) Open Source Lab (OSL), which hosts infrastructure for over 160 different open source projects, has agreed to host some of our servers for FreeBSD development. The first server, which should be arriving shortly, is an HP Enterprise Proliant DL360 Gen10 configured with NVDIMM memory which will be initially used for further development and testing of permanent memory support in the kernel.

Podcast #725: Nvidia Shield 4k Review

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 4, 2016 45:45

Nvidia Shield 4k Review The market for streaming boxes is pretty crowded. You've got the Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast just to name a few. The market for 4k streaming boxes is even getting pretty crowded lately. So is there still room for one more? Nvidia would like to think so. And we love everybody, so we were willing to give yet another set top streamer a chance. This one is called the Nvidia Shield 4k (Buy now, $193). About the Nvidia Shield 4k NVIDIA SHIELD is an 4K Ultra HD (as well as Full HD) home entertainment system, delivering incredible resolution in favorite apps like Netflix, HBO, HULU, YouTube, Major League Baseball, NBA, KODI /XBMC, and PLEX. Vivid 10-bit color and rich Dolby 7.1 surround sound make this a true home theater experience. Or plug your headphones into your SHIELD controller or SHIELD remote for a private listening experience. Say "Oscar-winning movies" or "launch Netflix" and let Google's advanced voice commands find content for you on your Android TV. Get personalized recommendations on your home screen. Even cast a show or pictures to your TV from your PC, Android, or iOS device with built-in Google Chromecast support. SHIELD makes your smart TV experience fast and easy. Download premium Android games – from family games and indie hits to the most advanced Android TV titles with rich gameplay and intense multiplayer action. Or join GeForce NOW to connect to NVIDIA's gaming supercomputers and enjoy unlimited streaming of popular PC games or buy newly released games from the online store. Enjoy what the Wall Street Journal calls “the highest performing streaming TV set-top box ever made”. NVIDIA SHIELD is over 4x the performance of new Apple TV, new Fire TV, or Roku 4. NVIDIA SHIELD comes with 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot for external storage, 802.11 2x2 wireless AC with MIMO, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports as well as a game controller as well as an HDMI cable. Setup Setup is pretty easy. It includes all the cables you need to get it plugged into power, your TV and to charge the included game controller (which also serves as your remote). The included HDMI is a nice touch, many streamers don't include one, but it is a bit short. We used one of our own so we could have it installed in the right spot. Then you connect to Wifi (hard wired is also an option) and log into your Google account. There's a simple way to do it using a laptop, and a code from the Shield, but we couldn't get that to work, so we went the more cumbersome email address and password route. After you sign into Google, the Shield kicks into an automatic software/firmware update. This took For. Ev. Er. Perhaps the slowest update we've ever seen, certainly not snappy. This is more than coffee break time in the setup routine. For us it took over an hour. After the update, you have the option to update your controllers as well. This only took a few seconds, luckily. Then you're in an ready to start using the Shield. Performance Streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube work perfectly. They are very fast and very responsive. Often when using an app like this in a TV, you get sluggish performance. The cursor struggles when you're typing in a password or searching for content. Things take a while to load, etc. But with the Shield, things are incredibly snappy. The videos look as good as any other streaming box we've used. Nothing to complain about. If you're an Apple user, of course you can't get to that content. No Vudu either. But if you're a Google user, you're set. You can side load the Amazon video app if you use prime video alot. Online rumor mill says Nvidia is working on the deal with Amazon, they just don't have it in place yet. Might be able to side load Vudu as well. We didn't try. Local media playback is awesome. You can cast to it from an Android or iOS device. There is a built-in playback app. In addition to that, Plex comes pre-installed so you can use it as a media zone in your whole house video server setup. Listen to last week's show for a full review of Plex as a media server option. You can also install the VLC app to get access to a wide array of file types and encodings that you may not have support for in the other apps. The Shield has a couple USB ports you can plug portable or external drives into for local playback and to increase the storage of the unit itself. In addition to local media playback, there is an HDHomeRun app you can use to play over the air television directly on the Shield. It'll set you back a cool 99 cents, but if you can swing it, the app does convert your Shield into a cord cutter's dream. If you want to supplement that with live cable channels, you can add the SlingTV app and subscription as well. You've got the likes of Netflix, Google Play and Hulu for new release and catalog content, local media playback, OTA HD content and cable content from SlingTV. It's quite an impressive array of possibilities. Gaming is the best we've had on a streaming box. Certainly not Xbox One or PS4, but better then the Roku or FireTV if you're a serious gamer. You can play any adroid games you can get on other platforms, plus additional games built specifically for the Shield. In addition, the GEForce Now service allows you to stream PC games directly on the Shield. They were great. And very fun. We aren't hard core gamers, but they seemed the same as playing directly on another platform. This is where it got really, really close to Xbox or Playstation quality. And they are games you've heard of, Lego games like Batman and Marvel, Borderlands, Saints Row, Batman: Arkham Origins. In addition to the games you get as part of the $7.99 monthly subscription, you can also purchase other games to your heart's content. Conclusion Is there room for another streaming box in the market? Sure. For the Shield, that's like asking if there's room for Ferrari in the automobile market. Choose for yourself what brand you would identify each of the existing streaming boxes with, but none of them would be a Ferrari. Yes the Shield is considerably more expensive, but it also does so much more. As always, if you're an Apple fan and have all your content in iTunes, this isn't the box for you. But for anyone else, and especially for those serious about cutting the cord, the Nvidia Shield deserves a serious look. After all, who wouldn't want a Ferrari if you could pick it up for under $200?

Podcast #721: CES 2016

CES 2016 It's that time of year again, the time when hordes of people descend on Las Vegas, Nevada to get a glimpse of all the new technology manufacturers are showing off. Last year over 170,000 people attended. This year, there will be two less. With one HT Guy in Seattle, we weren't able to attend in person. But luckily many of our peers were, so we get to sift through their highlights without having to walk for miles through countless booths and crowds to see everything. Samsung, Philips and others bring Dolby Atmos Soundbars Samsung introduced a soundbar (HW-K950) that will attempt to create a Dolby Atmos experience using a wireless speakers. The system includes a soundbar with three forward facing speakers and two pointed towards the ceiling. The system uses wireless surround speakers that also include Atmos speakers. Finally, there is a wireless subwoofer that gets you a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system with only four speaker enclosures. No pricing or ship date was announced. Philips is also shipping a Dolby Atmos Soundbar. Called the Philips Fidelio soundbar it includes 18 drivers, including two upward-firing speaker modules. Angled tweeters create a wide soundfield. Total output is 400 watts, including 8-inch 220-watt wireless subwoofer. Other features include Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 decoding, dedicated center-channel speaker, two HDMI 1.4a inputs, HDMI audio return channel, and optical and coaxial inputs. no pricing was announced. Samsung's Family Hub Is A Fridge Of The Future Among the reasons why this is deemed a smart home technology of the future is it touts 21.5-inch 1080p monitor outside and few cameras and sensors within so you will know what is inside the refrigerator without the need to open its door or view the interior of the fridge remotely on your smartphone. This is specifically advantageous if you are in a grocery store but do not know what particular foods to buy. You can tag expiration dates on refrigerator items so you use them before you lose them. The giant screen is more than just a peek inside the box, you can use it as a family message board, sync your family calendar to it, shop for groceries or surf the web for recipes. It has speakers, so you can listen to music, and we assume the web interface would allow you to get to Netflix or YouTube as well, but we don't know for sure. LG Annouced Premium LCD-Based Super UHD, 8K TVs LG announced a premium line of UHD TVs (UH9500, UH8500 and UH7700). According to LG, they will all be brighter, better contrast ratios, and include a wider color gamut and HDR. LG will also introduce their first 8K TV, the 98 UH9800. For reference, Sharp's 8K screen goes for close to $130,000! According to LG the UH9500 and UH8500 increase the color gamut to approximately 90% of the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) P3 color space. LG is also claiming high quality sound from the UH9500 due to a Harman Kardon speaker system. Pricing was not available LG's rollable OLED display LG is showing the 30R 18-inch rollable display. They claim the display can be "rolled-up like a newspaper." They have been showing flexible OLED for a couple years, so how this display improves on concepts we saw in 2014 and 2015 isn't obvious, but we expect it to have better resolution and perhaps some built-in electronics for use as an actual television/monitor. The benefit of a rollable display in a consumer environment is pretty obvious. As TVs get to be rediculously large, transporting them, getting them in the door, etc. will become very difficult. If the screens could be rolled up, then just tacked up on a wall once you get them home, it could make 100” screens in every home a reality. Not to mention video walls that can turn into faux-windows ala Total Recall would be pretty sweet. Simple Control Adds Amazon Echo Integration Simple Control announced that its popular iOS apps for control of AV gear and smart home devices have been certified by Amazon for use with their Amazon Echo product. Amazon Echo includes Alexa, a cloud-based voice service that can be used to give commands to Simple Control. Once Simple Control is paired with Amazon Echo, users can control the home environment simply by speaking commands to Alexa, such as "Alexa, tell Simple Control to turn on the TV in the kitchen." The Simple Control and Simple System apps operate thousands of devices like TVs, cable and satellite boxes, receivers, Blu-ray players, lights, switches, thermostats and more. Ford A Ford Mustang you can order online with free shipping for Amazon Prime members? No, but the automotive company is partnering with Amazon to let you control your smart home from your car through Ford's Sync Connect and AppLink services and Amazon's Echo home-automation hub and Alexa voice-concierge service. Beyond Amazon, Ford announced it plans to work with the Wink smart home platform to provide similar levels of voice commanded functionality straight from your driver's seat.

The association also introduced a logo that will appear on certified content to guarantee a premium experience for consumers.

The new HomeKit accessories will be released throughout 2016, but pricing was not disclosed Honeywell announced the Lyric Round™ Wi-Fi Thermostat Second Generation is available for pre-order $250. Hunter Fan Company announced new Wi-Fi & Apple HomeKit-Enabled Celing Fans. Named Symphony and Signal the Symphony's MSRP is $329 and Signal's MSRP is $379. Both fans will be available spring 2016 UHD Players Samsung announced that the UB-K8500 is available for pre-order right now, and will sell for $400. Panasonic unveiled its Blu-ray player which it promised will be available in the US this year. A similar player was introduced in Japan in November which retails for roughly $3,300 USD. No word on pricing for the US version. Philips will introduce a player that supports the optional Dolby Vision HDR technology LG and Sony did not introduce UHD players.

Receiver Buying Guide 2014 It is that time of year where we get to spend your money again! This week we concentrate on receivers. Our goal with these guides is not necessarily about getting the latest product. Its about getting a good product at a great price so you may see some of last year's gear on the list. All these receivers are readily available online or at a big box store. Just like the HDTV Buying Guide, we're going to skip the budget categories jump right to our top picks. We each pick three receivers and one ‘money is no object' / ‘dare to dream' receiver for you to consider. Here are few of the receivers from last year that are still available along with their prices: Marantz SR7008 9.2-Channel 1080P and 4K Ultra HD Pass Through $2000 Now $1,599 Sony STR-DA5800ES 9.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver with Automation $2100 unchanged Denon AVR-X3000 7.2-Channel 4K Ultra HD Networking Receiver with AirPlay $900 Now $598 The entry and mid-tier receivers of last year are no longer available. The higher end receivers are still available at a reduced price. Braden's Picks Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/ HDMI 2.0 ($448) Onkyo is our go-to brand for entry-level, bang for the buck receivers. If you want to get a bunch of features packed into a small price point, and a receiver that works well and sounds good, this unit from Onkyo is worth a look. Five of the receiver's seven HDMI inputs support 4K video at 60 frames per second with support for HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. The Onkyo TX-NR636 doubles the power with two 32-bit processing engines to decode and scale Dolby Atmos to to your home theater layout and to decode a huge variety of HD audio files. With 7 channels of high-current amplification, you can unlock the full experience with in-ceiling height channels or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers to augment a standard surround sound home theater setup for stunningly detailed sound that comes alive from all directions, including overhead. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and the remote app streams any music stored on your phone or tablet. And it can even locate and stream HD audio from network-attached devices. Qdeo upscaling technology also converts low-res DVDs and games into full 1080p HD or all the way up to 4K if you have an Ultra HD display. Denon AVR-4520CI Networking Home Theater AV Receiver with AirPlay ($1150) This is a prior year's model, and has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but they are still available in limited quantities for a killer deal. The original list price was $2500, they're now selling for less than half of that at $1150. Sure you don't get Dolby Atmos or HDCP 2.2, but even the current model year Denon receivers don't have HDCP 2.2. This receiver is beast. Fully discrete, mono AMP construction and high current power supply for all 9 channels (150 W x 9 ch, 8ohm). Powerful, dynamic yet silky smooth like you've come to expect from Denon. If you need HDCP 2.2, your options are limited right now. If you want pure power with a few Tim Allen grunts to go along with it, grab one of these Denon units while you still can. It isn't just brawn, it also has 3D and 4K pass-through technology, 4K upconversion, Audyssey MultEQ, Airplay, network capabilities for Pandora and Spotify, and the list goes on. Pioneer Elite SC-85 9.2-Channel Class D3 Network A/V Receiver with HDMI 2.0 ($1600) Pioneer Elite receivers offer a very high end experience at an affordable price - or somewhat affordable depending on your budget. This unit is by no means inexpensive, but it is incredibly capable and will rock just about any home theater. It doesn't have Dolby Atmos, but it is Dolby Atmos Upgradeable. It has class D3 amplification that pumps out 135 Watts x 9 channels (8 Ohms) and delivers a total of 760 Watts multi-channel simultaneous drive. While lesser amplifiers' output diminishes as channels are added, the SC-85's Class D3 amps have the power to drive multiple channels simultaneously with no significant drop in per-channel output. It has HDMI 2.0, but not HDCP2.2. Every Elite AV receiver can pass through 4K video signals to any compatible display and the Qdeo video processing technology by Marvell and built-in 4K Scaler allow you to upscale any video source to 4k. Spotify Connect, Airplay, Roku Ready, Internet radio, control apps for your smartphone - you name it, it's in there. Ara's Picks Yamaha RX-A1030 7.2-Channel Network Aventage Audio Video Receiver ($800) My entry receiver this year is more of a mid-tier instead. Last Summer I came to the conclusion that if you buy an entry receiver from Yamaha, Pioneer, Denon, or Sony you will essentially have the same thing. Sure the sound may be slightly different but for the most part they are all on par as far as features go. But for a little more money you can have a very nice receiver that will last you for years. Take this Yamaha, its a 7.2 system from the Aventage line. They use higher quality components and design elements to produce purer sound. One example is the right and left channels have been laid out so as to minimize any crosstalk. If you have a 4K TV this unit will upscale your 1080p sources and pass through native 4K material. The 1030 also has a better auto calibration function than the regular Yamaha line. There are a ton of features for the audiophile and for $800 this should be the minimum standard for your home theater. Denon AVR-X4100W 7.2 Network A/V Receiver with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Dolby Atmos ($1,500) My next receiver is almost twice the cost of the first. but it has a couple of notable features that the previous one doesn't. Mainly it supports Dolby Atmos. This feature adds speakers overhead to give you more of an audio bubble where sound can come from anywhere. The unit is 4K ready but it does not support HDCP 2.2 so there may be some issues connecting to future Blu-ray players. Note: if you want to use 4 ceiling speakers you will need an external amp for two of them. But what I really like about this receiver is the Audyssey Room Calibration. To date it is the best one we have used. Throw in Audyseey's Dynamic Volume to help keep the audio level and you have a great unit for anyone with neighbors in close proximity. The receiver supports IP control so it can be integrated into your Roomie or iRule remotes and provide two way feedback. Like all the receivers on the list there are way more features than we can cover here. Sony STR-ZA3000ES 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver ($1,700) I tap the Sony ES line for my third unit. It does not support Dolby Atmos but it does support HDCP 2.2 which may be more important for some. One of the neat features of the 3000 is that it is also an eight port Gigabit Ethernet switch with PoE, Power over Ethernet functionality. With all the connected gear in our home theaters this feature is really a nice touch. It has a web based interface to setup and is fully IP controllable. All three of the above units plenty of power to fill your rooms with amazing sound. The Yamaha and Denon have connected features that makes streaming audio from all over the world as easy as pressing a button on your remote. Two have 8 HDMI inputs for those special times when you have to connect three Blu-ray players, two cable boxes, a Roku and an AppleTV but you still feel like you need an extra HDMI input just in case! Ultimate Present Onkyo TX-NR3030 11.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/ HDMI 2.0 ($2,200) This is actually a first for us. Putting an Onkyo into the Ultimate category. Best bang for the buck, sure. Great budget receiver, absolutely. But Ultimate? When you take a look at the features this receiver has you'll immediately see why this is in the Ultimate category. First off, this is one of the rare receivers that supports HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 and is Atmos ready. Its THX Select 2 Plus certified so you know it can produce reference level audio. It has three HDMI outputs so it can serve as a video hub. There are a number of features that on other receivers would bump the price up to the $3,000+ price range. We're sure you have head about issues Onkyo's have had in the past, overheating and HDMI circuit board failures come to mind. So keep that in mind if you go this route. The HDMI issue has a recall on older receivers and shouldn't be an issue on this one. Heat, well that's all relative. The more amps you put into a receiver can potentially cause things to get hot. We have not heard of any recent heating issues with Onkyo's but if possible, install the receiver in a well ventilated place and you should be good to go for years to come.

Jeder will ins Netz und trotz des Aufkommens der Mobilfunknetze sind die Festnetze immer noch die schnellste und zuverlässigste Methode, am Internet teilzunehmen. Doch so richtig zufrieden scheint niemand zu sein: komplizierte Tarife, unechte "Flatrates" und unklare Versorgungsrealitäten in Stadt und Land machen den Zugang zur "Datenautobahn" knifflig bis unmöglich. Dies hat natürlich auch Gründe, nur sind diese wenig bekannt. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove gibt Clemens Schrimpe einen Einblick in die Geschichte der Netzversorgung, die heutige Technik und die Gründe, warum die DSL-Anschlüsse häufig nicht das liefern, was sie könnten und was in der Zukunft für neue Probleme hinsichtlich der Dienstgüte und Netzneutralität zu erwarten ist. Themen: DFÜ in den 80ern; X.25; Telefontarife in Berlin; Tarife nach Mondphase; Dortmund und Karlsruhe als Quellorte des deutschen Internets; der ISP-Boom des Web 1.0; Ausbaugarantien des Festnetzes; Internetversorgung in Island; die Einführung von ISDN nach der Wiedervereinigung; Irrweg Glasfaser; Aufkommen der DSL-Technik; Struktur eines DSL-Anschlusses; die ATM-Infrastruktur; Transfer-Hierarchien durch Multiplexing; Sinn und Unsinn der Regionaltarife; der Vormarsch von Gigabit Ethernet; Warum es in kleinen Orten kein schnelles Internet gibt und warum Telekom-Konkurrenten meistens keine Chance haben; der Niedergang des ISDN-Netzes; Upstream vs. Downstream; DSL-Profile; Symmetrisches DSL; feste Bandbreitenberechnung vs. technischer Machbarkeit schnellerer DSL-Verbindungen; Untervermietung der DSL-Infrastruktur; DSL Training; Umfang der Kupferleitung-Infrastruktur; Glasfasern im Boden, U-Bahn-Schächten, Flüssen und Kanälen; Regulierung und Deregulierung des Netzmarkts; Provider-Kooperation verboten; die Datenautobahn; volkswirtschaftlicher Nutzen von hohen Bandbreiten; Internet über Kabelfernsehnetze; LTE als Ergänzung des Festnetzes; Netzneutralität und Dienstgüte; Zwangsproxies und der Eingriff in den Datenstrom; bezahlte Bevorzugung einzelner Datendienste oder Anbieter.
