Podcasts about USB

I'll review what matters when buying an external backup drive, plus a few current picks worth considering. Capacity, USB speed, SSD versus traditional hard disk, and portable versus desktop can all be confusing.

His pitch? A USB drive full of demonic malware from the sealed Vaults of Moravec. The result is the Death of Innocence—a catastrophic scrap-code virus that kills millions in minutes, corrupts entire Titan legions, and plunges Mars into an apocalyptic civil war. Bricky, DK, and special guest Kirioth dive into the Schism of Mars, navigating through the madness of the Kaban Machine's rampage, the Alpha Legion's sneaky sabotage, and Koriel Zeth's decision to drown her own forge in lava rather than hand it over to the traitors.Support the show

Greg Swartz and the team at Blacksmith & Jones are responsible for a number of notable documentaries. Those of us in the whisky-o-sphere surely know of "Water of Life Film," a documentary around the history and craft of Scotch whisky, or perhaps "Independent Spirits," which focused on Independent Bottlers (The J-Team are proud to have been featured in this film!). Today we sit down with Greg to discuss his latest film, "West of Tradition" which focuses on American Single Malt Whisky. So much fun was had during this conversation and we got to understand a fair bit about the film making process. Joshua & Jason always enjoy their time with Greg but this conversation was especially good. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

50 episodes. Five years. More than 125 hours talking about urgent care marketing, growth, and everything we've learned along the way. In this milestone episode of Walk-Ins Welcome, Nick and Michael look back at how the podcast started with a single USB microphone and grew alongside Patient Care Marketing Pros and the urgent care community.They revisit the topics listeners have responded to most, including front desk performance, missed calls, patient volume, and the 90-day clinic rescue, and explain why so many of those conversations ultimately come back to the same challenge: building a healthier, more sustainable urgent care business. They also share PCMP's mission to help 100 urgent care brands reach 40 patients per day per location and discuss what years of working across different clinics and markets have taught the team about growth, seasonality, and what actually works.

Cloud device farms make it easy to get started with real device testing. But what happens when you need to scale? Costs climb fast, you wait in a queue for the devices you need, and you lose visibility into what's actually happening when a test fails. In this episode, Nick Metcalfe, Head of Technical Sales Engineering at Cambrionix, joins Joe to explain why more testing teams are bringing their device labs in house. Nick shares how one team was quoted roughly a million dollars a month to outsource their real device testing, then cut that cost to around $300K by building their own lab. And cost is only part of the story. You'll discover why an in house device lab can outperform a cloud lab: Lower cost at scale. Cloud pricing works for small test runs, but at enterprise scale an in house lab can save hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. No waiting in line. Your devices are yours, available whenever you need them, with no queue and faster turnaround. Full control and visibility. See exactly what's happening at the hardware level, down to the millisecond a USB controller reboots, so you can tell a real bug from an infrastructure failure. Test the devices your users actually have. Keep legacy phones, budget devices, and hand me downs in your lab, just like Snap does to support its user base across 12,000+ devices and 700,000 tests a day. Test custom hardware. Point of sale systems, VR headsets, smart devices, and prototypes that a cloud vendor simply won't have. Automate the hands on work. Reboot devices, recover from restore mode, and put 16 Apple devices into DFU mode at once, all through an API that plugs into your CI pipeline. Protect your device investment. Hold batteries at a set charge level to reduce wear and extend device life for years. Nick also covers the honest tradeoffs, including the setup and resources an in house lab requires, and why a hybrid approach of emulators first and real devices second gives you the most confidence before release. Plus, his number one tip for building a lab: do it once, do it right. If your team is scaling mobile test automation, fighting flaky tests, or questioning your cloud device farm bill, this episode is for you.

Le Bluetooth en domotique, c'est une portée ridicule, des déconnexions et des capteurs qui disparaissent. Et la clé USB ne sert plus à rien dès que Home Assistant tourne dans un cluster Proxmox. Pour quelques euros, un petit ESP32 change complètement la donne : voici comment le proxy Bluetooth rend votre domotique enfin fiable, et 100 % locale.Au programme de cet épisode

Progettata da una coalizione di sette colossi tech negli anni '90 per semplificare il caos dei cavi, la presa USB nasconde una scelta consapevole: non renderla reversibile per contenere i costi. Oggi però le porte sui laptop spariscono per un motivo tutt'altro che tecnico: la "dongle economy".

Foundations of Amateur Radio Launched into your amateur radio adventure you're faced with figuring out what you need to fly. If you have a web browser, you can start listening to a massive array of online radio sources .. today. Beyond that, a handheld radio is often the first purchase for a new amateur, more often than not followed by the acquisition of a more advanced radio and associated paraphernalia, antenna, coax, power supply and the like. A video of forging the "Most Iconic Swedish Axe", by Torbjorn Ahman, a Swedish Blacksmith, started off with making several tools, before the axe forging itself got underway. It reminded me that in the amateur radio community we often talk about radio with rarely any mention of any toolkit. Spend six seconds thinking about this and you'll likely come up with a soldering iron and a multimeter as your next investment, but what happens after that? While not universal, truth be told, my soldering iron has very little use, though half a century ago it was probably essential. My multimeter gets more use, even though it really doesn't do any radio tricks. Its most used feature is continuity testing. One proper bit of test gear is an antenna analyser that we use most times anyone plays with antennas. Several years ago, I was given a lovely NanoVNA which gets a regular workout though calibration is a bit cumbersome. I was also given an inline power meter that provides all manner of battery health information. I take it to every portable operation. Gadgets aside, the tools I use more than all of these put together are a quality wire cutter and an Anderson Powerpole crimper with all the connector housing colours. There's also a comprehensive set of screwdriver bits, enabling access to more equipment than I have time to investigate. A 15 Watt dummy load, good to 150 MHz, gets regular use, and to complete the picture, underneath my desk is a HP 606A signal generator that I'm scared to restore. Last time I went near it, I managed to trip the house RCD for reasons I still don't understand. There's other stuff in boxes and drawers, but I clearly don't use them enough to come to mind. Unremarked is my computing infrastructure. Until a couple of years ago that consisted of a 27" iMac, vintage 2015. Expanded to 64 GB of RAM, it ran all my software using VMware, sometimes a dozen or so virtual computers simultaneously. It died in 2024 when the power cord managed to short itself on my portable desk, yes, that too tripped the RCD. Although I didn't lose any data, due to a perfect storm of incompatibility, it's been nearly two years before I found the beginnings of a replacement, a small form factor Lenovo IdeaCentre with 32 GB of RAM running Proxmox. If I was made of money, I'd probably find space for an oscilloscope and a signal generator, perhaps even a proper network analyser, but truth be told, most of my adventures these days are in the software realm. That's not to say that there is no place for such gear, just that I suspect that they'd feel overwhelming rather than something I'd grab to solve a problem. That said, regular posts by Ismo OH2FTG about resurrecting all manner of broken testing equipment revealed to me that a surprising number of these tools are essentially a computer with an operating system, running some custom application that presents itself to the user via a display. Apparently you haven't lived until you see a Windows boot loop on your Agilent oscilloscope. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, the "HP 8920A RF Communications Test Set" that I played with a while back runs what looks like a version of DOS, which comes on ROM chips, according to HP taking 2 hours to replace for a firmware upgrade, and each of its in-built tests is a program written in HP Instrument BASIC. This morning I walked into my office and spotted my PlutoSDR on my desk. If you're unfamiliar, a PlutoSDR is a little box, blue, because of course colour matters, has two SMA coax connectors on one side and two USB sockets on the other side. One antenna port is marked "Rx", the other "Tx" and by connecting the two together, you can create a transmission and then receive it. While that sounds completely useless, it's the exact same set-up as any number of bits of test equipment, to be clear, normally you have something you're testing connected between the ports. Combine that with a connected computer and you have the makings of some fancy test gear, capable of 70 MHz to 6 GHz. Since it's all Open Source, you can write your code in your language of choice. Of course I'm not the first person to come to this point. There's tools around for making this reality, implementing oscilloscope, spectrum analyser and plenty more. I am already imagining what I might achieve with GNU Radio. While there's plenty of room for soldering irons in our community, I think it's also worth considering what software might help in your toolkit. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Make a Logo on Fiverr Making money online is nothing new, but AI has created a different kind of work-from-home opportunity: helping companies train the systems themselves. Companies like Babel Audio offer projects built around video, audio and transcription that can let participants get paid from AI without having to become programmers or machine-learning engineers. I’ve been using Babel Audio myself, primarily for video-based projects, and the experience has been legitimate enough that I’ve received actual payments from the platform. That doesn’t mean it’s effortless money, though, because the amount you earn can depend heavily on project availability, how quickly you move from one task to another and whether your recording setup meets the client’s requirements. See what Babel Audio offers for jobs: https://geni.us/getbabelaudio (affiliate link) How Babel Audio Works and How You Get Paid Getting Started With Babel.audio Compared with some other AI job platforms I’ve tried, Babel had a relatively simple qualification process when I joined. Instead of going through a long series of forms and tests, I completed a basic evaluation, showed that I could meet the requirements and then gained access to available projects. “The cool thing about Babbel is there’s not all those forms that you have to fill out. You basically do a little test and then they approve you from that test.” – Jeffrey Powers The exact onboarding process can always change, but my experience was much more direct than some other AI task services. Once approved, you can see the available work, choose a project and start preparing for the assignment. Video, Audio and Transcription Projects Babel Audio works across video, audio and transcription, although most of my experience has been on the video side because I’m already comfortable working in front of a camera. Depending on the project, you may read a script, take part in a one-on-one conversation, role-play a support scenario or respond naturally to a set of prompts. Some sessions are short and tightly structured, while others allow more natural back-and-forth conversation. After the recording ends, you usually answer a few quick questions about how the session went, return to the queue and wait for the next assignment. What $50 Per Recorded Hour Really Means One of the projects I worked on paid around $50 per recorded hour, but that’s not the same thing as earning $50 for every real-world hour you’re logged in. Waiting for a partner, choosing a topic, reviewing the instructions and getting ready for the recording may not be included in that paid time. Based on my own experience, a more realistic effective rate can land around $20 to $25 per hour when calls are moving steadily. If you’re waiting several minutes between recordings or spending a lot of time preparing each session, that effective hourly rate can drop fairly quickly. The Requirements That Can Make or Break the Job You Need a Controlled Recording Environment The biggest challenge with Babel.audio is that your recording environment needs to be far more controlled than many people expect from a normal work from home job. Background noise from computer fans, dogs, children, traffic or people in another room can become a problem, and even a passing siren or fire truck may affect a video session. Lighting also has to remain consistent, which makes natural window light less useful than it might seem. If a cloud suddenly changes the brightness in the room, that shift can be enough to create issues, so controlled artificial lighting and a stable camera position are usually safer. Glasses, Framing and Quality Grading One of the more difficult requirements I encountered was a no-glasses rule on some video projects because the system needed a clear view of the participant’s eyes. That can become a serious problem for anyone who depends on prescription glasses, especially when some assignments also require you to read scripts or instructions during the recording. Your work can also be graded based on things such as sound, lighting, framing and other project-specific requirements. If problems keep showing up, your daily video allowance may be reduced, and if the limit reaches zero on a particular project, you can be removed from that project entirely. But You Don’t Need a Hollywood Studio Professional gear can help, but it can also work against you if the camera is creating a cinematic look that the project doesn’t want. Features such as strong background blur or bokeh may need to be disabled because the goal is usually a neutral, consistent image that clearly shows your head and shoulders. I use a Shure MV7 microphone, but a good USB microphone can work just fine, and something like a Logitech Brio can be enough for video. The more important factors are clean audio, steady framing, consistent lighting and a room quiet enough that outside noise doesn’t interfere with the recording. Is Babel Audio a Legit Way to Make Money? Payments and Project Availability In my experience, Babel Audio has paid me for the work I’ve completed, and payments have generally been straightforward. I typically receive a notification around Tuesday, then the money arrives through the selected payment method such as direct deposit or PayPal, although one payment did take nearly a week to arrive. The bigger uncertainty is not whether I was paid, but whether the same amount of work will always be available. Projects can end, daily limits can change and one week may offer several options while another may be much slower, so I would not treat Babel income as guaranteed in the same way as a traditional salary. Can Babel Pay the Rent? On one project, I had the option to complete as many as 60 videos in a day, which could turn into a 13- or 14-hour workday if I tried to max it out. When I ran the numbers, doing that level of work consistently for about a week could potentially cover my rent and bills, but that’s based on having enough assignments available and being willing to put in very long days. For me, the more realistic approach is to use Babel audio as flexible income that can supplement other work. A few hours in the morning or during open parts of the day can generate extra money without forcing me to depend on the platform for every dollar I need. Who Babel Audio Makes the Most Sense For Babel Audio makes the most sense for someone who wants an additional AI job they can do from home, is comfortable with video, audio or transcription, and has a quiet enough environment to meet the technical requirements. It also helps if you’re patient with repetitive assignments and understand that client rules can change from one project to another. Based on my own experience, Babelis a legitimate way to get paid from AI, but I wouldn’t call it easy money or guaranteed full-time employment. If you already have a decent camera, microphone, controlled lighting and a quiet room, it can be a useful side-income option — just go into it understanding that the advertised recorded-hour rate and your actual hourly earnings may not be the same thing.

Donald Trump braucht positive Schlagzeilen: In knapp sechs Wochen finden die Midterms statt, bei denen die Republikaner ihre hauchdünnen Mehrheiten im Kongress verteidigen wollen. In den Umfragen liegen sie jedoch zurück. Der anhaltende Iran-Krieg und die steigenden Benzinpreise erschweren die Ausgangslage zusätzlich. Trump hat den Urnengang deshalb stark mit seiner eigenen Präsidentschaft verknüpft.Anders als viele US-Präsidenten vor ihm hält sich Trump im Midterm-Wahlkampf nicht zurück. Er macht die Wahlen zum persönlichen Referendum und mobilisiert seine Anhänger mit allen Mitteln. Gleichzeitig fliessen enorme Summen von Tech- und Krypto-Milliardären in den Wahlkampf der Republikaner. Und es gibt Befürchtungen, dass der politische Druck auf Wählerinnen und Wähler bis hin zu möglichen Behinderungen des Urnengangs zunehmen könnte.Kann Trump das Steuer noch herumreissen? Hilft ihm der pompöse Staatsbesuch von Xi Jinping diese Woche? Oder sorgt eine überraschende politische Entwicklung im Oktober für die Wende?

Endpoint hardening is the unglamorous work of closing the windows and locking the doors before somebody comes along and jiggles the handle. Prasanna, Dr. Mike Saylor and I walk through what that actually looks like: secure builds and golden images, which services to shut off, which ones to uninstall so a bad guy can't just switch them back on, USB lockdown, full disk encryption, BIOS and UEFI, and the phone in your pocket that logs onto your corporate Wi-Fi every morning.Mike opens with the analogy he uses in the book. Bad guys casing your organization are doing what a burglar does walking down your street — checking every door, every window, every garage. An unpatched box screaming its version number to the internet is a broken window with a sign on it.Then we get practical. Your receptionist's computer is running a web server she will never use. Your new Dell shipped with Xbox Game Bar running by default. Mike's point is that turning those off isn't enough, because an attacker living off the land will just turn them back on. Uninstall the thing.We also get into the argument nobody wins: locking down USB ports. Prasanna makes the end-user case, Mike makes the red team case, and we land on data leakage controls as the middle ground.

AI PCB routing only works when the tool understands your design intent, and in this OnTrack Podcast episode Zach Peterson sits down with Alain-Sam Cohen and Nabil Chouba of InstaDeep's DeepPCB to find out what that actually takes. They explain why classic autorouters fail on configuration rather than on routing, how a reinforcement-learning routing engine paired with Cooper, a natural-language orchestrator, detects net classes, decoupling caps, reference planes, and USB impedance problems before a single trace is drawn, and where LLM-driven PCB-as-code tools fit alongside placement and routing.  Then they open one of Zach's own boards live, let Cooper flag what the design file left unspecified, and compare it with a run they let converge before the show. If you've watched a one-line AI prompt produce an epic hardware fail, this is the case for task-based AI in PCB design and the design knowledge you still need to bring to it.

Make a Logo on Fiverr The OBSBOT Talent 2 is the kind of production box that makes you question how much gear you really need for a live show. It combines a video switcher, recorder, streaming encoder, monitor and remote production system inside one portable unit. Add four HDMI inputs, network video support and four-channel ISO recording, and it starts looking like a serious alternative to an ATEM-based mobile setup. That flexibility comes with a $2,099 price tag, and there are a few physical design choices to consider. After unboxing and connecting csources, here is where the Talent 2 stands out. A Portable Studio With Room to Grow The Talent 2 is built around a 7-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, 800-nit brightness, 10-bit color, a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and an anti-fingerprint coating. The display is bright and sharp indoors. OBSBOT also includes a sun shield for outdoor work, where even an 800-nit display can struggle in direct light. Its included stand holds the unit without blocking the connections and offers mounting points for accessories such as a microphone or light. A removable screen cover adds protection when the Talent 2 is packed for travel. This is a system designed to come out of a case, connect to cameras and start producing a show without requiring a separate monitor or computer. Four HDMI Inputs and Plenty of Network Sources Four HDMI inputs sit across the top of the unit. The Talent 2 also supports USB cameras and network sources including full-bandwidth NDI, NDI HX2, NDI HX3, SRT, RTSP and RTMP. IP sources can reach up to 4K at 60 frames per second, giving a producer several ways to bring in cameras, computers, phones and remote guests. In testing, I connected four HDMI devices, an OBSBOT Meet Flip over USB and multiple NDI sources, including an iPhone and an overhead camera. The Talent 2 handled individual feeds as well as layered layouts. I could resize sources, change their order and build a three-camera composition over a game feed directly on the touchscreen. The device can take 15-16 inputs comfortably, but it’s best to keep it around 7-8. Switch, Stream and Record From One Box The touchscreen interface provides quick access to inputs, scenes, graphics, audio and streaming controls. You can add lower thirds, titles, animated text, clocks, photos and prerecorded video. There are also tools for drawing on the program output, creating scene playlists, controlling PTZ cameras, adding timers and scoreboards, freezing a scene or fading to black. Four-Channel ISO Recording One of the Talent 2’s most important features is four-channel ISO recording. Instead of saving only the final switched program, it can record four isolated HDMI feeds for editing later. It supports MP4 and MOV recording with H.264 or H.265 encoding at up to 4K60. There is 128GB of internal storage, plus a microSD card slot and support for external USB storage. That combination makes the unit useful for live productions that also need editable camera originals. I had not yet completed a full ISO stress test at the time of this first hands-on review, so long-duration recording performance is one area I will continue to evaluate. Streaming to Four Destinations The Talent 2 can stream to as many as four destinations simultaneously, with native options for YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Restream. It also supports RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, HLS and NDI HX3 output. Streaming resolutions range from 360p through 4K60, with a maximum published bitrate of 120Mbps, although the practical limit will depend on the available internet connection. Shows can run in standard 16:9 or vertical 9:16 orientation. That makes the Talent 2 useful for traditional livestreams as well as mobile-first productions. Two HDMI 2.0 outputs can deliver video at up to 4K60, while USB-C provides UVC and UAC output to a computer. The Ethernet port supports 2.5Gbps networking. Remote Production Is a Major Strength You do not have to operate the Talent 2 from its touchscreen. A browser-based interface works from a computer, tablet or phone on the same network. From there, I could switch sources, manage encoders, configure destinations, upload media and transfer recordings to a desktop for immediate post-production. The system also supports user profiles with limited controls. In a sports production, for example, one operator could manage audio from a tablet while another switches the show. The Talent 2 can create its own hotspot, which helps when a dedicated local control network is needed. Audio and Automatic Switching Two 3.5mm audio inputs can accept microphone or line-level sources, and a headphone output provides monitoring. Each source can be routed to the monitor and program mix, kept active across scene changes or turned off. The Video Follows Audio feature can automatically switch to the source associated with the person speaking, which could simplify panel discussions and interview shows. Designed for Work Away From the Studio Two battery bays on the rear support hot swapping, allowing one battery to be changed while the other keeps the Talent 2 running. Cellular support is built in through a SIM slot and external 5G antennas. Separate antenna connections cover Wi-Fi, and the package includes international power adapters and a locking USB-C cable. Multiple quarter-inch mounting points make it possible to place the unit on a tripod, arm or customized rig. For events, conferences, sports and mobile interviews, those mounting and power options are just as important as the switching features. The Biggest Problem: HDMI Port Spacing The four HDMI inputs are packed tightly together. With thicker cable ends—especially optical HDMI cables—it can be difficult or impossible to use every port without the connectors pressing against one another. I had to rearrange cables and find a thinner option to populate all four inputs. That pressure is not something I want on HDMI ports during a live production. Owners planning to use all four inputs should test their cable ends before an event and consider slim HDMI cables or compact adapters. A little more space between the ports would have made this much easier. I also saw a small amount of latency when comparing an NDI feed with a direct HDMI path. That is not unexpected when mixing network and wired video, and firmware updates may continue to improve performance, but timing is worth checking before combining source types in a production. Is the OBSBOT Talent 2 Worth $2,099? The Talent 2 is expensive compared with a basic hardware switcher (ATEM ISO around $600, ATEM Mini Extreme is $2,000), but the comparison changes once you add a monitor, streaming encoder, network video support, storage and remote control. OBSBOT has placed all of those tools in one battery-powered unit that can handle a surprisingly complex show. For a creator who only needs two HDMI cameras, the smaller and less expensive options will make more sense. For event producers, mobile studios and livestream teams that need four HDMI inputs, 4K streaming, isolated recordings and remote operation, the Talent 2 offers a compelling all-in-one workflow. The OBSBOT Talent 2 comes close to being the ultimate portable live studio because it removes so many separate boxes from the production chain. Its AMOLED display, flexible source support, four-channel ISO recording, remote interface and hot-swappable power give it serious potential as an ATEM replacement. It is not flawless. The cramped HDMI ports are a real frustration, the price puts it firmly in professional territory and some features deserve longer testing under live-show conditions. Still, few portable systems put this much switching, recording and streaming power into one package. OBSBOT provided the Talent 2 for this review but did not sponsor the video.

We got tired of using crummy USB hubs. Do they have individual port control? Maybe...maybe not! Do they have voltage and current monitoring? Never! What about XH or USB A for fixed connections that don't flop out? I2C control or EEPROM for configuration? Proper protected input ports with 5V overcurrent/overvoltage protection? ESD and overcurrent protection on each port? YES YES YES, it's time for PORT AUTHORITY, the stackable USB hub we always wanted!

Is the AI industry sounding a real alarm, or is it about money? Tech journalist Will Guyatt joins Steven Scott and Shaun Preece to make sense of the AI pause warnings. Then it's a first look at Siri AI in the iOS 27 beta and a candid chat about Windows, the Mac and screen readers.Will lays out three theories behind a chaotic news week. AI makers could be alarmed by how quickly their models are moving. Donald Trump wants no brakes in a race with China. Or AI companies short on funding may be delaying their IPOs and reshaping the story. He also points listeners to Ed Zitron, a sceptic of the AI business model.Steven and Shaun then weigh up what "AI will kill humanity" really means. They cover rogue AI agents, an email assistant that forwarded a message nobody asked it to send, AI tools given credit cards, and why government regulation may be too slow to matter.The mood lifts with hands-on impressions of Siri AI in the iOS 27 public beta, including the waiting list, the Dynamic Island and early bugs. There's a reminder to hold off on updating your daily phone, because banking apps and third-party apps may break, plus an inaccessible Barclays app.The episode closes with Creative USB speakers that switch audio back to the laptop, and why Windows with NVDA or JAWS feels more logical than the Mac.

Today, we sat down with leaders from Elastic and Google Distributed Cloud to discuss how their unique combination of skills can address cybersecurity, AI operations, and resilience in sovereign air-gapped environments. Most listeners hear the phrase "air-gapped" and think absolute safety. Sean MacKirdy from Elastic offers insight into air-gapped environments. He reminds the audience that, by definition, an air-gapped system cannot get updates from the Internet. That means they are vulnerable to attacks. Further, data transfers, cross-domain guards, patching cycles, supply chains, USB devices, and insiders remain potential entry points. Google's TJ Banasik's solution is to consolidate tools. For example, common tools include capabilities like endpoint detection, user behavior analytics, and vulnerability management. Elastic Security can be combined with Google Distributed Cloud. For example, Elastic uses specialized, self-managed platforms to provide unified security for air-gapped environments. This automation reduces fatigue, staffing requirements, response time, and integration complexity in a SOC. This interview provides a brief overview of the concepts discussed. For more details, please attend the Google Public Sector Summit on October 20, 2026, at the Reagan Center in Washington, DC.  You'll see how Elastic and Google Distributed Cloud work together, with subject matter experts in the room with you. Federal agencies must consider how to protect air-gapped networks amid regulatory authorization, data sovereignty, and operational risk. That is why it is important to meet face-to-face with developers from Elastic and Google to determine the optimized solution for your agency. The Google Public Sector Summit presents the perfect opportunity to accomplish that task.  

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta segunda-feira (14): O ministro Flávio Dino, do Supremo Tribunal Federal, retirou neste domingo (13) o sigilo das investigações sobre o caso do filme “Dark Horse”, cinebiografia do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL), relacionadas ao possível direcionamento de emendas para a produção do longa. Reportagem: André Anelli. O número de mortos no desabamento de um prédio em construção na Penha, Zona Leste de São Paulo, subiu para seis, segundo o Corpo de Bombeiros. Três mulheres, dois homens e uma criança morreram após a estrutura cair sobre uma residência na madrugada de sábado (12), durante fortes chuvas. Segundo a Defesa Civil, oito pessoas estavam na casa atingida; uma menina foi resgatada com vida e levada ao Pronto-Socorro do Tatuapé, enquanto outro adulto foi socorrido pelo Samu. As equipes dos Bombeiros realizaram o resgate e buscaram possíveis vítimas. Reportagem: Misael Mainetti. A Polícia Federal (PF) confirmou ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) que tem condições técnicas de enviar cópias integrais dos dados do celular do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro aos gabinetes dos ministros que solicitaram o material. A manifestação ocorreu no domingo (13), em resposta a uma cobrança de 24 horas feita pelo presidente do STF, ministro Edson Fachin. A PF garantiu que o aparelho original e a extração principal seguem armazenados de forma segura sob custódia da instituição. Reportagem: André Anelli. Pesquisa BTG/Nexus divulgada nesta segunda-feira (14) mostra o atual presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) na liderança da corrida eleitoral, com 42% das intenções de voto no cenário estimulado do primeiro turno, contra 37% de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). Como a margem de erro é de dois pontos percentuais, a vantagem garante a Lula a liderança isolada na primeira etapa do pleito. Entre os demais nomes, Augusto Cury tem 6%, Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil) soma 5%, Renan Santos registra 2%, enquanto Zema (Novo) e Samara marcam 1% cada; brancos e nulos são 4% e indecisos, 2%. No segundo turno, a principal simulação entre Lula e Flávio Bolsonaro aponta empate técnico, com 47% para o atual presidente e 46% para o adversário. O ministro André Mendonça, do STF, afirmou neste domingo (13) que incluir novos elementos e liberar a íntegra dos dados extraídos do celular de Daniel Vorcaro “somente contribuiria para tumultuar o julgamento” e poderia comprometer as investigações. A manifestação ocorre antes do julgamento marcado para terça-feira (15), quando o plenário analisará relatório da PF sobre mensagens entre Vorcaro e Alexandre de Moraes. Segundo Mendonça, a inclusão de informações adicionais poderia gerar questionamentos e desviar o processo do objetivo previsto. Reportagem: Marco Viana. A perícia do Instituto de Criminalística de São Paulo recusou, em junho, ao menos 15 aparelhos apreendidos em endereços ligados a Karina da Gama, produtora do filme “Dark Horse”. Segundo documentos divulgados por Flávio Dino, os equipamentos tinham lacres aparentemente intactos, mas apresentavam vãos que permitiam a passagem de cabos USB. Em 13 dispositivos, os peritos apontaram possibilidade de acesso e manipulação dos dados. Os aparelhos foram devolvidos à Polícia Civil para readequação dos lacres. Reportagem: David de Tarso. A PGR defendeu nesta segunda-feira (14) a quebra de sigilo de mais um procedimento do STF relacionado ao caso Banco Master, que reúne informações sobre a rede de pagamentos de Daniel Vorcaro e da instituição. O processo não teve o sigilo retirado por André Mendonça. Alexandre de Moraes pediu a liberação dos dados, alegando que são relevantes para o julgamento desta terça-feira (15), sobre a abertura de investigação envolvendo conversas entre ele e Vorcaro. Após pedido de Edson Fachin, a PGR também defendeu a retirada do sigilo para que os ministros tenham acesso ao conteúdo. Reportagem: Marco Viana.

Confira no Morning Show desta segunda-feira (14): A Procuradoria-Geral da República defendeu, nesta segunda-feira (14), a quebra de sigilo de mais um procedimento do STF sobre o caso Banco Master. O processo reúne informações sobre a rede de pagamentos de Daniel Vorcaro e do banco e ainda não havia tido o sigilo retirado por André Mendonça. Alexandre de Moraes havia pedido a liberação dos dados, considerados relevantes para o julgamento desta terça-feira (15), que decidirá sobre a abertura de investigação envolvendo as conversas entre o ministro e Vorcaro. Edson Fachin solicitou parecer da PGR, que defendeu o acesso dos demais ministros ao conteúdo. A perícia do Instituto de Criminalística de São Paulo recusou, em junho, 15 aparelhos apreendidos em endereços ligados a Karina da Gama, produtora do filme “Dark Horse”. Segundo documentos cujo sigilo foi levantado por Flávio Dino, os equipamentos apresentavam um vão nas embalagens que poderia permitir a passagem de um cabo USB e a alteração ou extração de dados sem romper os lacres. Os aparelhos foram devolvidos para readequação da embalagem. A Polícia Federal apontou a existência de uma “fábrica de documentos falsos” no caso Master. Segundo a investigação, funcionários utilizavam dados de clientes reais para produzir documentos que davam aparência de regularidade a operações envolvendo cartas de crédito fictícias. O esquema teria sustentado negócios bilionários do Banco Master. Os gabinetes de Gilmar Mendes e Cristiano Zanin confirmaram o recebimento de cópias dos documentos extraídos dos telefones de Daniel Vorcaro. Os ministros haviam solicitado o material à PF antes da reunião desta terça-feira (15), que analisará o possível envolvimento de Alexandre de Moraes com Vorcaro. O acesso aos dados levantou a possibilidade de pedidos de vista, que poderiam adiar o julgamento. Ex-ministros dos governos Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula e Dilma Rousseff, além de juristas, empresários e líderes da sociedade civil, assinaram uma carta em apoio ao presidente do STF, Edson Fachin. O documento, com 198 assinaturas, classifica as revelações sobre relações entre ministros da Corte e Daniel Vorcaro como parte da “mais grave crise da história do Supremo” e defende a apuração dos fatos, responsabilização de eventuais envolvidos e reformas para fortalecer a colegialidade, a imparcialidade e os padrões de conduta. O acesso de Cristiano Zanin e Gilmar Mendes às provas extraídas do celular de Daniel Vorcaro gerou preocupação com um possível adiamento dos julgamentos previstos para os dias 15 e 23 de setembro. As sessões analisarão, respectivamente, a abertura de investigação contra Alexandre de Moraes, por possível envolvimento no caso Master, e contra André Mendonça, por supostos erros na condução do inquérito que investiga Vorcaro. Um novo exame oncológico pode identificar a possibilidade de desenvolvimento de câncer de bexiga com até 92,2% de precisão. O teste utiliza uma amostra de urina para analisar o DNA do paciente e permitir um tratamento mais personalizado. O exame ainda está em fase de testes e não está disponível no sistema de saúde. O ex-ministro do STF Marco Aurélio Mello comentou a crise na Corte e as expectativas para o julgamento desta terça-feira (15), que decidirá se Alexandre de Moraes será investigado. Segundo ele, é esperada uma “postura exemplar” do Supremo. A Prefeitura de Cássia (MG) decretou emergência financeira e anunciou cortes de gastos, incluindo despesas com café. Segundo a administração, o desequilíbrio entre arrecadação e despesas compromete o caixa municipal. Apesar das medidas, a prefeitura afirmou que os salários dos servidores serão mantidos. Um guarda civil foi engolido por uma cratera formada pelas chuvas em Praia Grande. Apesar do impacto do acidente, o agente da GCM saiu sem ferimentos.

This week we sat down with the 2018 documentary General Magic, about the early '90s startup of the same name that was full of Macintosh veterans who were way ahead of their time about mobile computing, online communications, and a lot of other stuff. Were they really trying to make the iPhone more than a decade before the iPhone? Did they seriously invent early precursors to USB, Java, and emoji long before those things became commonplace? Why did they fail so catastrophically? Join us as we discuss the movie to ponder these and other questions about a really heady, innovative era of computing.The documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQymn5flcekAT&T's 1994 video for PersonaLink and "the Cloud": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbNrqe2IgSA1994 Wired story about General Magic: https://www.wired.com/1994/04/general-magic/ Support the Pod!

In this episode, Ray Cochrane devotes the whole show to Apple’s fall event, the first under new CEO John Ternus. He starts with the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable iPhone. From there, he covers the Apple Watch Series 12, the new Health Age score, the Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 with noise canceling at $129. – Want to start a podcast? Its easy to get started!

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Cochrane opens from his father’s studio in Michigan, fresh off a trip to Saugatuck Dunes State Park. Lake Michigan stunned him because it looked like the ocean. He had hoped to spot Wisconsin across the water. However, overcast skies and fog hid the far shore. He also apologizes for the hum in the previous episode, his first video session in the studio. Without headphones on, he took the noise for ordinary background sound. The culprit turned out to be a line-level cable plugged in at one end and loose at the other. After tracing it, he rewired the whole desk so every cable is neat and out of harm’s way. Meanwhile, he is still learning the studio’s TriCaster switcher and working on keeping his eyes on the camera. He invites listeners to send suggestions. Additionally, his grandmother had trouble finding the video version on the site. As a result, a site update is coming that uses the alternate enclosure feature, so listeners can switch between video and audio. Time with his grandmother has been a highlight of the trip. Cochrane reflects on how little time he spent with this side of the family after his father moved to Michigan. Next, he flies home to Oregon after some time in Detroit. As the move comes together, he also wants a better way to get recordings off the TriCaster than a USB drive.

The event streamed Wednesday as a pre-recorded film. It was also the first event under CEO John Ternus. He took over from Tim Cook, who became executive chairman, on September 1st. It took Apple seven years to answer Samsung’s first Galaxy Fold. Even so, the price barely moved, since the Duo starts at $1,999. Cochrane admits he hoped for something closer to $1,400. Still, based on the marketing alone, the Duo is the upgrade he is most excited about. The Duo is a book-style foldable that opens along a vertical hinge. Closed, it has a 5.4-inch outer screen and is roughly the size of a passport. Open, it reveals a 7.6-inch display, the largest Apple has put on an iPhone. Both screens share the same proportions, so apps simply scale up to fill the bigger screen. Opened flat, the Duo is just 5.2 millimeters thick, which makes it the thinnest iPhone Apple has built. Closed, it measures 11.3 millimeters and weighs 254 grams. By comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 is lighter and thinner at 201 grams and 4.5 millimeters open. The Crease, the Hinge and the Return of Touch ID The crease was Cochrane’s biggest worry, since it is the most common complaint about folding phones. Apple layers the inner screen with a flexible plastic cover, thin glass, and a titanium plate underneath. Custom adhesives let those layers slide as the phone bends. On top, a microscopically etched matte finish scatters reflections to hide the crease. However, Apple only claims the crease is harder to see, not gone. Early hands-on reports split down the middle. Chance Miller at 9to5Mac found it “hard to notice a crease at most angles.” In contrast, Andrew Romero at 9to5Google, working from early videos, said it looks “just as visible” as on Samsung’s Fold8. The hinge uses more than a hundred parts and a row of magnets to hold the phone shut. Cochrane says it snaps open cleanly, which a $2,000 phone should. Notably, the Duo carries an IP68 rating, surviving six meters of water for up to 30 minutes. That matters on a foldable, because dust in the hinge is a classic way these phones die. The Duo also has no Face ID. Instead, a Touch ID fingerprint reader sits in the side button and works open or closed. Cochrane offers his own theory for the switch. With AI now able to generate convincing faces and video, a fingerprint may simply be the safer biometric. Inside the Duo: Chip, Cameras, Software and Battery The Duo runs the A20 Pro, the same chip as the iPhone 18 Pro, built on a two-nanometer process. A vapor chamber carries heat away so the phone can hold full speed longer. Cochrane welcomes that, since his own phone runs hot while charging or running demanding apps. Two 48-megapixel cameras sit on the back, a main and an ultra-wide. The outer screen unlocks the new tricks. For example, you can shoot selfies with the rear cameras, and Duo Preview lets your subjects see the shot. Smart Take snaps the photo when everyone is posing, and Kid Cue plays Peanuts animations to get kids to look at the camera. On the software side, the Duo ships with iOS 27.1. The Dynamic Island now runs vertically along the side, and Split View puts two apps side by side for the first time on an iPhone. Netflix, Zoom and Slack already support it. The Duo carries two batteries, one in each half, and Apple rates it for up to 24 hours of typical use. Charging to 50 percent takes about 20 minutes with a 60-watt adapter. However, that adapter is sold separately, which Cochrane calls out as a raw deal for first-time buyers. MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging run at up to 25 watts. Storage starts at 256GB for $1,999 and climbs to $3,199 for 2TB. Preorders open October 16th, and the Duo reaches stores October 23rd. Ternus called it “the most transformational change to iPhone since the original.” Cochrane still wants one, though the price gives him pause, and he asks listeners whether they plan to buy. Apple Watch Series 12 Checks Your Heart Every Five Seconds Next, Cochrane turns to the Apple Watch Series 12 and its new Health Sensing System. The watch reads your pulse by shining green light into your skin and measuring what bounces back. After wrestling with the technical term, photoplethysmography, he notes that everyone sensibly calls it the optical sensor. Apple made those lights bigger and more efficient. As a result, the watch now checks your heart rate every five seconds, all day. It also measures heart rate variability, the tiny wobble between beats, as often as every five minutes. A bigger wobble generally means your body is rested and recovered. Cochrane loved Apple’s swimming ad, where a swimmer finishes his swim and checks his heart rate. To him, it feels far more futuristic than the rugged adventure watches of twenty years ago. Swim tracking itself isn’t new. What changed is the constant background check and a live heart rate readout on the watch face. All of that feeds a new daily readiness score from zero to ten. It weighs your recent activity, training load, vitals and sleep, then updates through the day. Engadget points out that competitors already offer readiness scores and faster sampling. In Cochrane’s view, Apple is catching up to the market, but doing it in a big way. Apple’s Heart Rate Accuracy Study Apple claims no wearable reads heart rate more accurately, and this time it published the study. Testers wore a Series 12 on one wrist and a rival on the other, with a Polar H10 chest strap as the reference. The rivals came from Garmin, Google, Huawei, Samsung, WHOOP and Oura. Across 1,254 people at five sites, Apple led in 139 of 159 comparisons. Eighteen were too close to call. The only two losses went to Google’s Pixel Watch 4 at rest, by less than half a beat per minute. Cochrane appreciated that a fifth of participants had the darkest skin tones, where optical sensors have historically struggled. The Series 12 comes in 42- and 46-millimeter sizes, including a new ceramic version. Battery life holds at 24 hours, and fifteen minutes of charging now buys up to twelve hours. Pricing starts at $399 for aluminum, $699 for titanium and $899 for ceramic. It reaches stores September 18th. Health Age and Apple’s Rebuilt Health App Cochrane admits he first misread this feature, and he is glad his initial read turned out wrong. Apple is rebuilding the Health app around Apple Intelligence, its umbrella name for its AI features. The app adds an Insights tab, a For You section, and a Longevity tab covering seven areas of health. Sumbul Desai, a physician who runs health and fitness at Apple, framed the goal. She said pairing the watch’s sensors with Apple Intelligence lets Apple “translate complex biometric data into clear guidance for users.” In other words, nobody wants to scroll through a spreadsheet of their own heartbeats. Inside the Longevity tab sits Health Age. It weighs your VO2 max, resting heart rate, sleep, and heart rate variability against your real age. You can also add lab results like A1c and LDL cholesterol. Apple’s sample screen shows a body running 3.9 years younger than its birthday. Cochrane finds the feature interesting, and he hopes the data stays private, much like health records at a hospital. However, Apple didn’t share the math behind Health Age. He would like Apple to publish its formula, because people will take a number like that seriously. The new app also adds at-home movement evaluations using the iPhone camera and the watch. Users can book a $119 blood panel covering more than 50 biomarkers at roughly 2,000 Quest Diagnostics locations. Cycle Tracking gains perimenopause and menopause support. The redesigned app arrives later this year, while watchOS 27 lands September 14th. Finally, Cochrane raises a concern about all this monitoring. He hopes Apple built strong safeguards around the health data, because a leak of data like this would bring serious lawsuits. Apple Watch Ultra 4 Can Outlast a 100-Mile Race The Apple Watch Ultra 4 shares nearly everything with the Series 12, from the sensors to the S11 chip. This year, what sets it apart is stamina. Normal use now reaches 50 hours, up from 42, and Low Power Mode stretches to 84. Meanwhile, fifteen minutes on the charger buys up to 18 hours, where last year’s model managed 12. A new Max Extended Workout mode tracks up to 45 hours of running or hiking, with GPS logging every second. Apple says that is typically enough to finish a 100-mile race. The watch also uses dual-frequency GPS, which listens to two satellite signals to reject readings bounced off tall buildings. DC Rainmaker came away impressed with both watches. As Ray Maker put it, “I’d argue they’re the biggest leaps in Apple Watch hardware and features since they launched the Ultra series back a few years ago.” The Ultra 4 holds at $799 and ships September 18th. Audio Intelligence and the Always-Listening Question Both new watches also gain a set of listening features Apple calls Audio Intelligence. Sound Recognition alerts deaf or hard-of-hearing users to sirens, alarms, doorbells, or a crying baby. Shazam names nearby songs without being asked. Then come the two raising eyebrows: Live Rewind and Siri Recap. Live Rewind shows the last fifteen seconds of your conversation as text with a double press of the Digital Crown. Siri Recap hands you a title and key points after a conversation, leaving out financial details and ID numbers. Both arrive in beta later this year, in English first, and need an iPhone 16 or newer. Cochrane saw the pushback coming. To replay fifteen seconds, the watch has to be listening before you ask. Apple answers with privacy promises, including that everything is opt-in and raw audio is deleted after processing on the chip. Still, he argues that opting in means choosing to give up privacy, and he has a hard time believing the processing stays on the device. AirPods 5 Bring Noise Canceling to $129 AirPods 5 comes in two versions, and the headline is price. Until now, noise cancellation in the regular AirPods cost $179. Both AirPods 5 models include it, starting at $129. Noise canceling is harder in the regular AirPods, because they lack the rubber tips that seal your ear. Apple’s AirPods marketing director Eric Treski admitted as much in 2024, calling it “really, really hard to create this great ANC quality in a non-ear-tip product.” Nevertheless, Apple says AirPods 5 removes up to 50 percent more outside noise than AirPods 4 with noise canceling. Interestingly, the chip and microphones are unchanged. The gain comes from reworked vents and ports in the shell, plus smarter software. For perspective, Apple says AirPods Pro 3 still cancel up to three times more noise. Gizmodo found AirPods 5 “did a good job silencing the background noise, but not entirely.” The $129 model charges over USB-C. For $149, you add a wireless charging case, a Find My speaker, a volume swipe on the stem, and an extra hour of listening. Both models also carry an IP57 rating and support Live Translation. They reach stores September 18th. How Apple Filmed the Event Cochrane closes by praising the production itself. Apple built different scenes and backgrounds throughout the film, and Six Colors noted a Hollywood backlot segment with a fake rainstorm, Roman soldiers, and astronauts. The closing card read “Shot on iPhone. Edited on Mac.” He still hopes to get an iPhone Duo, though he isn’t sure about paying two grand. For now, he may stick with his current phone. Cochrane wraps up by pointing listeners to the GNC Insider program, the newsletter, and podcastapps.com, adding that he likes Pocket Casts. Listeners can reach Ray or Chris at geeknews@gmail.com. He flies back to Oregon next, with another audio episode planned for Monday and a video site update coming this week.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#221 "Author, Podcaster, Game Designer" - Podcast Show Notes & Summary 9-12-26   Quick Summary  Tim walks in barely held together and introduces himself as author, podcaster, and game designer — because he just dropped a playable HTML prototype of his Color Clash-inspired dual-grid RTS into the Fork Discord. The ring actually lands on Life first: Nate's kids demand VR mid-show, California is an air fryer, lane-splitters want six inches of courtesy, and both households are eating unexpected bills. Then the game firehose opens — Sony tells a courtroom that reasonable consumers know they don't own digital games, Xbox Cloud gets a 15-hour Ultimate cap, Nintendo dumps a Zelda 40th and a second Direct in two days, Ocarina of Time remake looks like a stop-motion maquette, Metroid Ravenous is metal as hell, and Kojima's canceled Sony IP is now an Xbox game. Entertainment is Coyote vs. Acme beating Warner Bros. at its own gag, Chad Powers season two sneaking back from the dead, Spider-Noir winning Emmys then getting canceled, and Nick Offerman as Big the Cat. Tech is Mac Studio M5 Max sticker shock, Apple's September event, the iPhone Duo foldable, and John Ternus's first week as CEO. Classic four-and-a-half-hour Fork: family chaos, Sony fumbles, Nintendo cooking, and Tim finally putting a game on the table.   Detailed Show Notes

On this week's show we look into an article that alleges LG's Smart TVs are listening in on your conversations even when the screen is off. We also do a quick rundown on what Dolby's AC4 is and where you can experience it. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Streaming Is Raising Prices Faster Than Cable Ever Did More than half of consumers want live TV and streaming in one package  LG Smart TVs caught listening even with the screen off Stan from Pittsburg sent us a link to an article (LG Smart TVs caught listening even with the screen off) at FlatpanelsHD claiming LG smart TVs collect more data than many owners realize — including with the screen off. What the investigation found LG TVs use ACR (automatic content recognition): they snapshot what's on screen, including HDMI sources, for ad targeting. FlatpanelsHD notes this has been industry-wide for years, not unique to LG. The TVs scan the local Wi‑Fi network, identify other devices, and send back data such as IP address, location, and nearby network names. Voice features can transcribe speech after "Hi LG." The mic can stay active 10–15 seconds after silence. Researchers reported recording/transcription even with the display off, and that locally stored data can upload later when the set reconnects (including for a firmware update). That last point is presented as conflicting with LG's claim that its TVs "do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations." LG had not commented when the article ran. Flatpanel's Recommendation Turn ACR off if you can, or take the TV off the internet and use an external streamer (Apple TV, or Roku.). Firmware can be updated via USB instead of online. ACR is an old, industry-wide problem and it's unclear why the article focused only on LG. They still argue the mic/network findings are worth attention. They also link their earlier piece ranking Apple TV 4K as stronger on privacy because it doesn't do this kind of viewing tracking. Update - In a statement sent to Tom's Hardware, LG said "The claims made in the recently published video are not true. LG TVs process voice data only when the voice button on the remote control is pressed and held, or when a wake word such as 'Hi LG' is recognized after the user has activated the Far-Field voice recognition feature. Other than these instances, the TVs do not collect or record ambient conversations. (If the wake word is not recognized, no voice data is transmitted to the server; the audio processing for wake word detection is performed locally on the device and is immediately deleted.)" Dolby AC-4 One of our listeners, Scott, sent an email asking us to discuss Dolby AC-4 so that is what we are going to do today! Dolby AC-4 is Dolby's next-generation audio codec for broadcast and streaming. It was designed as a clean-sheet replacement for the older Dolby Digital family, not as a tweak of it. Compared with Dolby Digital Plus, AC-4 aims for similar or better quality at roughly half the bitrate. It natively handles channel-based audio, object-based Dolby Atmos, dialogue enhancement, loudness control, multiple language tracks, and different renderings for speakers vs. headphones in one bitstream. There are several profiles/levels: Level 3 — the version widely built into TVs (broadcast/OTT Atmos-style delivery). Level 4 — fuller Atmos metadata, including headphone/head-tracking features. IMS (Immersive Stereo) — a stereo-plus-metadata flavor used for Atmos music on phones and headphones. Is it backwards compatible? No. An AC-4 bitstream cannot be decoded by a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or Dolby Digital Plus decoder. Old AVRs, soundbars, and TVs that only know DD+ (AC-3) will not play AC-4. What is compatible is the playback path in new TVs and set-top boxes. Those devices decode AC-4 internally, then output whatever the next box needs: PCM stereo, AC-3, DD+, or Atmos over HDMI. So the living-room chain can still work; the codec itself is not drop-in compatible with older Dolby formats. Services that must reach mixed old/new hardware still send DD+ or AAC as a fallback. Devices that support it AC-4 decoding is common in UHD TVs shipped since about 2017, especially models that already license Dolby Audio (Dolby has said it is in a large majority of new UHD TVs). Early public commitments came from Samsung, Sony, and Vizio; it is also in many Android TV / Google TV platforms and some Amazon Fire TV devices. It is not universal: Pre-~2017 TVs, most older soundbars/AVRs, and a lot of cheap streaming sticks do not decode it. ATSC 3.0 ("NextGen TV") tuners are the main over-the-air path in the U.S.; tuner support is still incomplete across brands and model lines. Most consumer AVRs still expect Atmos via DD+ JOC (Joint Object Coding) or TrueHD, not a raw AC-4 bitstream from the source. Note - JOC  allows an Atmos-capable TV, soundbar, or AVR to use the "JOC" metadata to build the immersive mix. An older DD+-only device ignores the extra data and just plays the core 5.1 Studios and television Broadcast is the main home. AC-4 is an official audio system for ATSC 3.0 in the U.S. and is adopted by DVB in Europe. NextGen TV stations can (and some do) use it for Atmos, dialogue enhancement, and multiple presentations. Immersive AC-4 on U.S. OTA is still uneven; many 3.0 stations have not yet gone full Atmos. Streaming is later. Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, and most other major video services still deliver Atmos as Dolby Digital Plus + JOC. Peacock has publicly committed to AC-4 (alongside Dolby Vision 2), with rollout described as later in 2026. Atmos music already uses AC-4 IMS on several apps. Studios still master Atmos the same way. The delivery codec is chosen per platform: cinema TrueHD, most streaming DD+ JOC, NextGen TV and a few future streamers AC-4. AC-4 is in the pipeline; it is not yet the default living-room streaming format.

Mentor Sessions Ep 095: Bob Burnett and Nacho Pauls of Ocean discuss Bitcoin mining decentralization, the BIP-110 chain split, hash rate flight, and Bitcoin Knots.Bitcoin's first real hard fork just tested mining decentralization for real — and Ocean's hash rate dropped from roughly 40 exahash to 23 before clawing back. Bob Burnett (Barefoot Mining, Ocean chairman) and Nacho Pauls break down what actually happened when the chain split, why rented hash fled while owned hash stayed, and what the loss of Bitcoin Knots means for client diversity going forward.You'll learn why the "template centralization" problem is still the core issue even after BIP-110 was resolved, how a non-KYC pool kept paying miners through the chaos, and why Bob argues Bitcoin needs 3 to 5 competing clients — drawing a direct parallel to how the PC industry standardized USB, PCI, and Bluetooth. You'll also get the honest story behind Ocean's high-profile team departures, who's stepping into the CTO and chairman roles, and why Bob calls the whole episode a "distraction" the community ultimately settled the right way.Whether you run a node, stack sats, or care about who really controls Bitcoin's hash, this is a candid, insider conversation about mining, consensus, and what comes next.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:41 - Hard Fork Fallout and What Happened1:12 - Have Bob's Decentralization Views Shifted?1:54 - Datum Templates and Decentralization Fix3:25 - Ocean Hash Rate Drops From 40 to 23 EH3:43 - Overcoming Defeatism Among Motivated Miners4:11 - Nacho Explains Why Miners Left Then Returned4:57 - Only Pool That Let Miners Choose6:37 - Owned Hash Rate Versus Rented Hash8:34 - True Cost of 15 EH Rented Hash9:38 - Non-KYC Mining and Unknown Customers10:50 - Why Large Miners Avoid Switching to Ocean13:20 - Ocean's Jump to 30 EH and Path to 10017:23 - Sponsor Break18:50 - Team Drama and Key Departures20:17 - Amicable Split With Departing Founders22:01 - Jason Hughes Becomes CTO and Board Changes23:28 - BIP-110 Debate and Your Hash Your Choice33:15 - Bob's Personal Take on Departures34:13 - Mistake of Treating BIP-110 as Crisis38:39 - Community Consensus and Bitcoin's Strength43:57 - Losing Bitcoin Knots Client Option45:53 - Short Medium and Long Term Client Strategy46:48 - Plea to Core on Extended Version Support47:27 - Why Bitcoin Needs Three to Five Clients48:32 - PC Industry Lessons on USB and PCI Standards51:16 - Where to Follow Nacho and BobGuests mentioned: Bob Burnett (Barefoot Mining, Ocean), Nacho Pauls (Ocean), plus discussion of Luke DeWolf, Jason Hughes, and the Bitcoin Boomers.

The Google and Apple warrants were part of the enormous digital dragnet investigators constructed around Bryan Kohberger after identifying him as a suspect in the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Detectives sought information from Kohberger's Google accounts that could reveal searches, location history, account activity, communications and other stored data capable of showing what he had been doing before and after November 13, 2022. Apple records were likewise targeted for information associated with his devices and accounts, including cloud-stored material and account activity that could potentially establish his movements, planning, interests or efforts to conceal evidence. The FBI had initially obtained information from Apple through a federal grand-jury subpoena and passed responsive material to Moscow investigators, who then obtained search warrants. Kohberger's defense later tried to suppress the Google and Apple evidence, arguing in part that the warrants were overly broad and insufficiently particular, but Judge Steven Hippler rejected those challenges and allowed the material to remain in the case.Investigators also obtained warrants connected to the forensic processing of Kohberger's physical cellphone after it was seized. The phone's contents were copied onto digital storage media, including a USB device, and Moscow police sought judicial authorization before examining the extracted data. That effectively gave investigators a forensic snapshot of Kohberger's phone that could be searched for communications, photographs, videos, application data, location information and other evidence relevant to the murders. Separately, searches connected to Washington State University targeted Kohberger's university office and electronic material there, with investigators specifically looking for images of the victims or King Road residence, information showing an interest in murder or stabbing, evidence of planning, and data capable of placing Kohberger or his phone at particular locations. Taken together, the Google, Apple and forensic-lab warrants showed investigators trying to reconstruct Kohberger's digital existence from several directions at once, looking not only for evidence placing him near King Road but for anything that might explain whether he researched the victims, studied the house, planned the attack or attempted to erase evidence afterward.to contact me:bobbycapucci

In the stall directly opposite sat a gray Tesla belonging to a Canadian tourist with no connection to the case. Officer Kevin Godchaux's affidavit asked a judge to authorize seizing the car so its Sentry Mode footage could be searched under a second warrant. The owner walked up mid-tow and handed over the glovebox USB to get his car back. The Chronicle found OPD pulled this at least three times that summer. No subpoena to Tesla needed; the footage sits on a thumb drive in your glovebox. Defender angle: your parked-car threat model is no longer "catalytic converter." It's seizure of a $50k asset over where you happened to park.   Apple's camera-equipped AirPods are real, and we know because the demo video shipped inside a macOS release candidate. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/17/camera-equipped-airpods-macos-26-7/ MacRumors dug a promo clip out of the macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC: a man holds up a book so the camera in his AirPods can read the title, and Visual Intelligence offers to save it for later. Codename B790, flagged earlier by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who expects launch as soon as this month's iPhone event. Buried detail: the software nags you when hair covers the lens, so the camera is meant to run continuously. The forum reaction nailed the real issue: the wearer's privacy was never the concern, it's everybody standing near them. Defender angle: "phones in the locker" BYOD policy now has a hole the size of an earbud. SCIFs, clean rooms, trading floors and hospitals need a rewrite before September.   Iran-linked hackers reached the operational tech at water utilities in at least seven states; Washington's answer is a six-month pilot in Texas. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/first-fox-texas-becomes-testing-ground-new-defense-against-attacks-americas-water-systems https://www.route-fifty.com/cybersecurity/2026/08/states-feds-scramble-prevent-more-water-cyberattacks/415670/ Project Watershed 250 puts ONCD, EPA, CISA and Texas Cyber Command alongside Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Reflection AI and Dragos to red-team Texas water utilities at no cost, with National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross and Gov. Abbott pitching it as a national template. The White House insists it isn't a reaction to the 30-plus Minnesota systems that got hit, only that those attacks "reiterated the need." Schiff and Klobuchar want $300M a year through the State Revolving Funds for cyber, plus incident reporting extended to state and locally owned systems now exempt. Dragos CEO Robert Lee keeps pointing at the same soft spot: tiny utilities with no budget and no staff. Defender angle: a joint FBI/NSA/CISA bulletin warns attackers are hitting PLCs with AI-generated exploit scripts dressed up as legitimate monitoring tools. Same old fix list: patch, get it off the internet, kill default creds.   Montana built a legal on-ramp for unapproved drugs, and a dad in a hurry is finding out that "legal" and "available" are different words. https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/31/1140945/montanas-new-right-to-try-law-cant-come-soon-enough-for-some/ Kris DeVault's three-year-old son Brody has creatine transporter deficiency, a rare condition that starves the brain and muscles of energy. There is no cure. French biotech Ceres Brain Therapeutics has a nasal spray meant to get creatine past the blockage; it cleared a phase I dosing trial in 48 healthy adults and has never been tested in a CTD patient or a child. Montana's expanded right-to-try now has an Experimental Treatment Review Board about to hear its first two applications. Ceres could apply, but CEO Thomas Joudinaud won't, fearing it poisons his eventual FDA approval. DeVault can't get the FDA to put anything in writing either, so he's eyeing a clinic in Prospera, the private charter city in Roatan, Honduras. Harvard's Aaron Kesselheim has the objection to sit with: phase I proves tolerability at a dose, not safety, and not efficacy.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Brian - https://www.linkedin.com/in/briandeitch-sase/ Ben - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamincorll/

Kick off Mac Geek Gab 1157 with a rapid-fire round of Quick Tips: find the new Siri option hiding in your Camera app, tame Archive Utility’s settings to streamline your workflow, and turn your scanner and printer into a DIY copier over FTP. You’ll also learn where macOS quietly stashes your FileVault recovery key (hint: check Passwords) and how to wrangle your files so AI can actually help you, including a listener who let AI sort an entire TV library and another who put Claude Cowork to work as his personal Mac updater. Then it’s time for Apple’s big hardware drop: the M6 and M5 Ultra arrive in a new Mac mini and Mac Studio, with 2.5-gig Ethernet as the buried lede. Your two geeks and a pilot break down what’s worth your money, tackle Apple’s storage pricing problem with Thunderbolt and USB alternatives that won’t drain your wallet, and answer whether you can move your home folder to an external drive to dodge Apple’s SSD tax (spoiler: you can, and maybe it’s time we start endorsing this?).
