PC makers are shaking up CES with wild designs and next-gen chips, but the real story is Microsoft's bold software moves, AI's hardware hunger, and a candid debate over whether any tech company still puts users first.

They thought they were moving into a home. What they actually moved into was a presence—one that didn't announce itself with screams, but with precision. Little things. Quiet rearrangements. A bag that tips… then stands upright by itself. Objects placed dead center on the kitchen floor like a message. A house that seems to watch and wait for the moment someone is alone. Then the sightings begin. An old man sitting in a kitchen chair, looking up with a face so sad it stops someone in their tracks. A child describing a terrifying woman—messy hair, “witch-like,” peeking from the doorway… then pulling back as if she's hiding. And a shadowy figure in a hat, walking the hallway again and again, like he's on patrol. The family tries to treat it like a security problem. Locks are changed. Windows checked. Explanations forced. But none of it matters—because the truth is uglier: Whatever is there… was there first. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealParanormal #TheHatMan #ShadowPeople #TerrifyingEncounters #TrueHorror #GhostSightings #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #RealGhosts  Love real ghost stories?

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com When cloud computing was introduced, it was quite a simple concept: leverage other people's hardware to scale easily. Not too much to manage. However, today's cloud world has metastasized. Today, federal leaders live in a world of on-prem, multiple clouds, private clouds, hybrid clouds, and even sovereign clouds. Complications arise when they are burdened with compliance requirements and staff reductions. Today, we sat down with Ryan McArthur from Zscaler to discuss how to effectively manage a cloud environment when challenged with deploying Zero Trust. He begins by sharing his experience helping federal leaders understand the inherent risks of the VPN system. Few realize that VPN technology was first introduced by Microsoft back in 1996, and then popularized with Windows 4.0, which included built-in support. Thirty-year-old technology can present severe limitations. Unfortunately, the popularity of VPN technology increased with the demands of remote computing during COVID. We are now in a situation where many enterprises have built their architecture on this dated technology. Ryan mentions that one key to juggling clouds is to focus on the applications themselves. He emphasized Zscaler's ability to securely connect users. If you want more information about Zscaler, you should attend the Zscaler Public Sector Summit in March, where you can discuss and collaborate further.

Happy New Year! And what better way to celebrate the dawn of a new future by opening up the floodgates to time that could have been? We've got a deep dive into the lost entry in the Duke Nukem franchise, Duke Nukem: D-Day, the canceled game that nearly was and never will be. Zoey becomes an interactive Duke-ipedia of information as we dig deep into the connective tissue of the games industry, bouncing like a pinball between Rockstar, Atari, Gearbox, 3D Realms, id Software and more. Later, Jonathan talks with game developer Lyn about her game Miskatonic before gushing about the latest Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave news and the ending of Hades 2 and what it means for the characters.0:00:00 - The Cold Clamed Curry Meat of Silent Hill0:06:43 - Suckin' That Soup0:08:04 - The Duke Nukem Report - Duke Nukem: D-Day0:19:30 - Divert to Castle Wolfenstein0:23:06 - Hungry for Masculinity0:26:22 - Reclaiming Duke Nukem By Any Means Necessary0:36:12 - Dabbling in Torment with Lyn1:12:06 - Did They Make Fire Emblem For Everyone?1:17:56 - Wrap Up/Plugs/Thanks Patrons!1:23:35 - Jonathan's Audio Drama1:24:33 - Organic Breast MilkFollow Lyn on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lyn-aka-blpry.bsky.socialCheck out Lyn's Game Miskatonic, playable in browser or downloadable on Windows: https://jack-rockwood.itch.io/miskatonicZoey on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/adzuken.bsky.socialJonathan on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tronknotts.bsky.socialThe podcast's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialDaniel on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/douibyorthst.bsky.socialWritten articles at: https://maxutmost.com/Support Zoey's Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/adzukenSupport the Patreon to get episodes a few days early and also read the Maximum Utcomic! https://patreon.com/ttwav

A new year - and so much to do! To start 2026, Richard flies solo again to discuss the issues he's seen on sysadmins' minds as we head into the new year. Obviously, AI is eating up a lot of the conversation from many different angles: tools that can help us be more productive, security issues in our organizations due to misuse, and now, AI-driven hacking. Security still looms large, and not just from an AI perspective - the latest round of supply chain attacks has led to litigation, putting new emphasis on making sure you're secure. Windows has a new leader, things are changing there, and there's the ongoing migration to the cloud. Does it still make sense? There seems to be more concern about data sovereignty than ever, and some meaningful conversations to have.

After the Minneapolis Meltdown The Detroit Lions walked out of Minneapolis with bruises and questions. The Minnesota Vikings exposed protection issues, timing issues, and game-management issues. It was hard to watch. On the latest episode of The Grey Area, the conversation turned fast from pain to purpose. This is the last week of the season. The Bears are next. The focus is whether anything learned in that loss will shape what happens now. Dan Campbell's words mattered. Right after the game he said the Lions “gotta make changes.” No hedging. No deflection. His Monday tone was calmer, but the message stood. Change is coming, and he has to be the agent of it. That echoes his raw line after the NFC title loss two seasons ago about “that might have been our shot.” Seasons in the NFL are fragile. Windows swing fast. What happens next decides whether that old line is a footnote or a warning. There was no comfort in the tape. Execution sagged. Play calling sputtered. The Vikings dictated terms. That adds weight to Week 18. Not for stats. For choices. Campbell's Crossroads: Play, Rest, or Recalibrate Grey wrestles with the final-week question. To play or not to play. The roster is banged up. The rhythm is off. The instinct to chase numbers gives way to a need to reset habits. The staff has to decide who benefits from snaps and who needs a seat. No simple answer, but clarity is required. Campbell already pushed past the usual coach-speak about “on to the next one.” He went straight to overhaul talk, with a game still left. That tells you where his head is. Numbers over narratives took a back seat. This week the lesson is bigger than the box score. The Lions need a cleaner plan and a cleaner identity before Chicago. That is the work. Fix the Offensive Line, Fix the Offense The priority is clear. The offensive line is job one. Find a center. Stack guard depth. Solve tackle. You can do that in one offseason. Other teams have done it with castoffs. If Brad Holmes and Campbell hit on those spots, a lot of what failed in Minnesota vanishes. Protection stabilizes the pass game. The run game breathes. Play calling opens up. Defense needs help too. All three levels. But without the line, you get what you just saw. The blueprint is attainable. The roster core can support quick repair. The front office has to execute. Temperature Check: Fans, Accountability, and the Bears Ahead Fans are angry. They should be. The team has traded on two years of success. Prices went up. Expectations followed. Then came the worst Lions performance in years, by execution and by design. That stings. The enemies list segment landed hard because accountability matters right now. Giving in to lesser angels is easy. The smarter move is to demand concrete fixes. The Detroit Lions still control their response. Beat the Bears with purpose. Then attack the line, the depth, and the defensive holes. Campbell opened the door to change. Now he has to walk through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WqWARwBd_E #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #minneapolismeltdown #minnesotavikings #protectionissues #game-managementissues #dancampbell #week18 #chicagobears #playorrest #offensivelineoverhaul #findacenter Learn more about your ad choices.

In mainstream recovery circles, the adage "Once an addict, always an addict" is commonly accepted. This episode rejects that philosophy as "absolute BS". While the saying originated with good intentions—to encourage sobriety vigilance and set realistic expectations for recovery —it is fundamentally dangerous because it attacks the believer's identity.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:04) Rejecting the Adage: "Once an Addict, Always an Addict is BS."

In this episode, we break down the pursuer–withdrawer dynamic and why partners so often misunderstand each other during conflict. We explore how our nervous systems, personal histories, and internal stories shape the meaning we make of our partner's behavior. By slowing down and getting curious, couples can interrupt the cycle and create more connection instead of escalating disconnection.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses how the Baltimore Ravens' Sunday Night Football loss to New England signifies the official end of the Big Four Era of NFL quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen), whether or not Drake Maye should be viewed as the MVP favorite after his incredible fourth quarter performance against Baltimore, why it's more clear now than even that we have a dearth of quality quarterbacks in the NFL today, the idea that the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl window is officially closed, what really went down between DK Metcalf and that unruly fan he 'punched' in Detroit, which teams look like the current favorites to make the Super Bowl, and much more! #FSR #OddCouple Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.
