With major leadership shakeups and rumors of studio closures, the future of XBOX inside Microsoft suddenly looks uncertain. Is this the beginning of a Game Pass overhaul, or could XBOX face an outright split from the company? Plus, PowerToys 0.100 (yes, point one hundred) arrives with so many improvements.

On this episode of Data Driven, hosts Frank La Vigne and Candace Gillhoolley are joined by hardware and open source expert Michael Makowski to discuss the shifting landscape of developer workstations and AI hardware. As Windows usage declines among developers and AI engineers, Linux is experiencing a surge in desktop adoption. Michael takes us inside the latest efforts to make Linux not just accessible, but enterprise-grade—sharing how his team is driving advancements in stability, reliability, and user experience for validated Linux hardware.We talk about the dramatic improvements in Linux desktop support, the importance of privacy and avoiding surveillance-driven proprietary systems, and the game-changing features coming to market—like automated system rollback and curated app installs. Plus, we explore the current state of gaming on Linux, the technical edge unified memory brings to AI development, and why companies are increasingly opting for supported, Linux-based workstations. Whether you're Linux-curious, rethinking your hardware choices, or just passionate about the future of developer tools and data engineering, this conversation will equip you for what's next.LinksMike's Company Website - https://kfocus.org/Mike's LinkedIn Profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mikowski-7601393/Watch this show on YouTube - https://youtu.be/E03EObEa2lQTime Stamps00:00 Website security concerns and solutions05:03 Supporting KDE for long-term stability09:45 Desktop environment compatibility issues10:46 Conflicts in desktop environments15:07 AMD vs Intel & Nvidia Performance18:58 Showing the production site23:49 Steam's Linux runtime environment25:43 Running Windows games on Linux29:47 Concerns about software privacy issues33:31 Migrating from Windows challenges37:48 Setting up machine learning hardware41:31 Resolving system issues efficiently42:59 Setting up a VPN correctly47:40 Running VMs on alternative OS52:49 Upcoming OS Upgrade Details56:19 Rigorous testing and development process57:25 Tuning BTRFS for performance

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan and Josh suit up for Dispatch, the 2025 superhero workplace comedy developed and published by AdHoc Studio, originally released on PlayStation 5 and Windows. Founded by Telltale Games alumni including Michael Choung, Nick Herman, Dennis Lenart, and Pierre Shorette AdHoc brings their episodic storytelling DNA to a story about Robert Robertson, a powerless third-generation hero who, after the destruction of his Mecha Man suit, lands a job as a dispatcher for the Superhero Dispatching Network, managing a team of dysfunctional, reformed villains known as the Z-Team. It's a tale as old as time featuring a group of screw-ups slowly becoming a found family, but Dispatch pulls it off with so much craft and confidence that it feels fresh all over again.We dig into what makes Dispatch tick as both a game and an interactive series, examining its tight episodic structure, its gorgeous animation, and the way its licensed needle drops lend it the rhythm and credibility of a prestige streaming show. We also talk through the tension at the heart of the experience: this is a game that is, at times, less played than watched, and we explore whether the dispatching mini-game with its spiderweb stat graphs, skill-matching, and ongoing mission storylines does enough to make you feel meaningfully invested in the heroes you're sending into the field. Standout voice performances, particularly Aaron Paul's restrained but surprisingly expressive take on Robert Robertson, and a genuinely well-written ensemble help carry the load. The humor occasionally veers crude or cliché, but that's half the charm. So clock in with Bryan and Josh as we take the call on AdHoc's confident, polished, and wonderfully familiar Dispatch.Three Word Reviews:Bryan — Clichés Executed FlawlesslyJosh — Its Super Effective

Your chocolate bar got smaller. Your streaming service started showing adverts. Your phone slowly turned itself into something worse. There's a word for this now.This episode traces the history of Enshittification, from medieval bakers shaving weight off loaves to Toblerone quietly widening the gaps between its peaks in 2016, and the Kraft Heinz boss who told the world to get used to paying more for food just as the cost of living crisis began to bite.We then dig into how Big Tech does the same thing with software instead of food: Google search results getting worse, Windows 11's unwanted extras, Netflix reversing its own promises on password sharing, and what Apple really does with its pricing.Finally, the companies bucking the trend entirely, including the $4.99 rotisserie chicken that Costco refuses to stop subsidising, and the supermarket that took an 86% profit hit rather than raise its prices.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Identity - Who am I and what is my value? Text: Genesis 1:26-31 Speaker: Tim Sullivan

本集節目由《經理人》總編輯齊立文，邀請到台大教授、智齡科技（Jubo）創辦人康仕仲，來聊聊他的新書《從好技術到好生意》。台灣即將在 2025 年正式邁入超高齡社會，到了 2035 年，65 歲以上的高齡人口將達到驚人的 29%。面對未來「一個年輕人要扶養一個老人」的沉重壓力，原本在台大擁有終身教職的康世仲，意識到這場「國安危機」已經迫在眉睫，光靠在象牙塔裡教學生根本來不及！於是他毅然決然帶著學生跳出來創業，深入長照機構的第一線，用科技解決照護現場的痛點。本集重點1. 長照不只是商機，而是攸關生存的挑戰： 康仕仲指出，未來當我們老去，照護人力絕對不夠。他們團隊親自住進長照機構實地觀察，發現護理師竟然花了 60% 的時間在做「紙筆記錄」。要解決護理荒，就必須提供好的數位系統與裝置，解放專業人員的雙手，讓他們能回歸真正有溫度的「照護」本身。2. 軟體賣出去了才是挑戰的開始：關鍵角色「客戶成功」。導入數位系統最大的阻力往往是「人」。曾有一位工作 50 年的資深照服大姐，揚言只要導入電腦系統她就立刻辭職；但在智齡科技團隊手把手的教學下，2個月後她不僅學會了，還因為能「準時下班」而開心不已。這歸功於公司內部強大的「客戶成功（Customer Success）」團隊，他們不僅負責教學，更負責監測客戶體驗，確保產品能真正落地解決問題。3. 策略好產品，Day 1 就該賣高價：許多技術創辦人不敢把產品賣貴，但康仕仲認為：「如果你解決了別人解決不了的問題，你當然有資格賣得更貴！」從高價、高品質的高端市場切入，打磨出極致的產品體驗後，再順勢進入主流市場。更重要的是，企業必須有合理的利潤，才能聘請更好的工程師，推動社會持續進步。 Powered by Firstory Hosting

Cybersecurity Today on the Weekend interviews the winning Canadian CyberTitan team ("S-ores"/a regex-based name) along with coach Phil, educator Tim, and CyberTitan manager Sheena to explain how CyberTitan (run by ICTC) connects to the international CyberPatriot program. They describe the competition mechanics—securing compromised Windows, Windows Server, and Linux virtual machines for points, plus Cisco Packet Tracer networking—and how Canadian teams compete through CyberPatriot before the top teams advance to a national CyberTitan final. Students Faye and Eric share why they joined, their learning "aha" moments in Windows tools and networking concepts, and the value of teamwork. The guests discuss teacher benefits, free training materials, building diverse participation, sponsorship challenges, and hopes for a fully Canadian program with regional events and cloud-based cyber ranges like Field Effect's. 00:00 Weekend Show Intro 01:00 Tim's CyberTitan Journey 01:46 ICTC Explained 02:08 Who Can Compete 02:42 Why CyberTitan Matters 03:22 Origins and CyberPatriot Link 04:04 How The Competition Works 05:09 Meet Team Sors 07:07 Coach Phil's Role 09:44 Why Students Join 12:08 Student Aha Moments 15:13 Community and Teacher Wins 16:34 Sheena Runs The Show 17:29 Scale and National Reach 18:51 Coast To Coast Growth 19:40 XOR Team's Home District 19:55 Teams Across Toronto 20:39 Trophies Medals Coins 21:22 Eric Why Join 23:04 Faye Encouragement Story 25:51 Teachers Start Teams 27:52 Building Girls Pipeline 30:40 Cloud Range Future 33:49 2030 Vision Wrap

At last week's NYU IHIF, Glenn Haussman talks with John Schultzel, Chief Growth Officer at Olympia Hospitality, about drive-to demand, shrinking booking windows, rate discipline, destination marketing, and how hotels can stay close to guests without losing the human side of hospitality. Olympia operates across New England, up and down the East Coast, and as far west as Colorado, giving John a clear look at different market patterns. He sees continued opportunity in drive-to leisure markets, even when broader economic stress makes travelers more cautious. Drive-to demand can hold up when travelers still want a getaway but rethink distance or transportation Short booking windows make pricing discipline harder when hotels watch pace late in the week Creative packages beat panic discounting when travelers make last-minute decisions Hotels need stronger destination marketing because guests often choose the place before they choose the property Weather should change the message, not kill the opportunity AI can help marketing teams move faster while still keeping the human side of hospitality intact Thanks to Actabl.

Anthropic is calling for governments to have the authority to stop deployment of advanced AI systems that pose unacceptable risks. CEO Dario Amodei points to the company's Mythos cybersecurity model as proof that AI has become a matter of national and strategic consequence, warning that cyber risks may soon be followed by biological and autonomy risks. Meanwhile, security researcher Nightmare Eclipse has released RoguePlanet, a new Windows Defender zero-day that reportedly works against fully patched Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. The disclosure comes shortly after Microsoft said it had no intention of pursuing action against security researchers, suggesting the dispute between the company and the researcher is far from over. And European authorities have dismantled AudiA6, a cryptocurrency laundering operation that Europol says used thousands of fraudulent exchange accounts to help obscure the proceeds of ransomware attacks and other cybercrime. Investigators linked the service to more than 15 ransomware and major cryptocurrency theft investigations worldwide.

Think Active Directory is dead? Think again. According to Microsoft data, 86% of organizational workloads still touch Active Directory, and nearly 20% of organizations don't expect to reach a hybrid state for 10-20+ years. In this episode, Brad and Spencer break down why AD attack paths remain one of the most critical threats in enterprise environments and what defenders can do about it right now.Spencer also previews his ContinuumCon workshop "Killing AD Attack Paths Once and For All" where he demonstrates how authentication policies and silos can eliminate an entire class of lateral movement attacks built into Windows and Active Directory.In this episode:- Why Active Directory is still alive, well, and heavily targeted- What an Active Directory attack path is and how attackers use them- The four prerequisites attackers need to abuse AD attack paths- Real-world examples: Kerberos ticket theft, SCCM abuse, certificate misconfigurations, and misconfigured permissions- Tools defenders should know: Bloodhound, PingCastle, Purple Knight, Locksmith, and ADelegator- How to prioritize remediations based on ease of exploitation vs. impact- Why retesting is the most overlooked step in any remediation cycleResources mentioned:- Spencer's ContinuumCon Workshop (Fri.

Original Air Date: June 2025 Episode Number: 463Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan tells the story of Earl Young -- a self-taught architect from Charlevoix, Michigan who never finished his degree, never drew a blueprint, and never really cared what the architecture establishment thought of him. What he left behind are some of the most unusual homes in the Midwest: curved stone walls, swooping roofs, fireplaces that feel like the center of the universe, and boulders he spent decades hauling out of Lake Michigan. Dan covers the full story -- where Young came from, how he worked, and what eventually happened to the neighborhood he built. Then he takes six design lessons from Young's approach and applies them to homes most of us actually live in.In This Episode[00:00] -- Opening: Rain, Roofs, and a Dead Sprinkler Pump[01:40] -- Charlevoix, Michigan[02:34] -- The Mushroom Houses[05:15] -- Earl Young: Origins[09:05] -- Breaking With the Rules[13:41] -- Vision and Inspirations[16:39] -- No Blueprints[19:31] -- The Boulder Problem[24:24] -- The Weathervane Restaurant and the 9-Ton Boulder[26:26] -- Fireplace as the Heart of the House[28:08] -- Legacy[29:22] -- How to Visit[32:29] -- Six Design Lessons from Earl YoungOpening: Rain, Roofs, and a Dead Sprinkler Pump [00:00]Dan opens with the classic split-brain problem of being a homeowner in summer. He's relieved that rain is coming -- the yard needs it. He is not relieved that rain is coming -- the roof has been suspicious lately. Then, one more thing: the sprinkler pump died. Standard summer. He moves on quickly.Charlevoix, Michigan [01:40]Before getting to the houses, Dan sets the scene. Charlevoix sits on a narrow isthmus between Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. It's a resort town -- the kind of place people drive through and immediately start calculating whether they could afford to move there. It's also the kind of place that, if you grew up on its beaches and walked them long enough as a kid, could do something permanent to the way you see the natural world.The Mushroom Houses [02:34]Charlevoix has a neighborhood most people don't know about unless someone tips them off. The houses there don't look like anything else. Curved stone walls. Rooflines that swoop down low to the ground. Windows tucked into stone like they were always meant to be there. The whole feel of the place is fairy-tale -- which is why people have been calling them hobbit houses, gnome houses, and Flintstone houses for decades.They have an official nickname too: the Mushroom Houses. Named for the way the rooflines spread outward from the walls, sort of like a cap on a stem. Once you know that, you can't unsee it.They were all built by the same man. One man, working from dirt sketches and intuition, over most of his adult life.Earl Young: Origins [05:15]Earl Young was born in 1889 in Mancelona, Michigan. He moved to Charlevoix with his family around age 11. His parents divorced -- which wasn't common then -- and Young spent a lot of time on his own, walking the beaches around town. He wasn't doing anything in particular. He was just out there, picking up rocks, watching water, paying attention to the way the land looked.He fell in love with stones. Big ones specifically. The kind of boulders that Lake Michigan just deposits on the shore like it has nowhere else to put them. Most people walk around them. Young was already thinking about what he could do with them.Breaking With the Rules [09:05]Young went to the University of Michigan to study architecture. He lasted about a year. The curriculum was heavy on classical styles -- Victorian, Greek revival, Roman influence -- and Young had no patience for it. He didn't come to school to copy old European buildings. He went home to Charlevoix.For a while he sold insurance and real estate. He wasn't building yet. But he was watching. He kept picking up rocks.He eventually started building. No firm, no staff, no architecture license. Just an eye for stone, an instinct for how a building should sit on a piece of land, and a willingness to take as long as it took to do things the way he wanted them done.Vision and Inspirations [13:41]Dan identifies three things that shaped the way Young approached his work.The first was Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy -- not Wright's specific style, but the underlying idea that a building should belong to its site. It shouldn't be dropped onto a lot. It should feel like it grew there. Young took that idea and ran with it in his own direction.The second was his rejection of academic architecture. Everything he'd been asked to learn and repeat in school was exactly what he didn't want to do. The rebellion wasn't just aesthetic -- it was personal.The third was the stones. Young's whole sensibility came from what Lake Michigan left on the shore. The materials weren't a choice he made at a building supply store. They were the starting point for everything else.No Blueprints [16:39]Young did not draw blueprints. When he had an idea for a house, he went outside and drew his plan in the dirt with a stick. He'd sketch the layout right there on the ground, work it out, make adjustments, and that was the plan.His wife Irene was an art teacher. At some point she started translating his dirt sketches and descriptions into actual drawings -- not formal blueprints, but enough that a builder could follow them. The designs came from him. She put them on paper. They worked like that for years.The Boulder Problem [19:31]Young didn't just use the rocks he could find lying around. He hunted for specific ones. When he found a boulder he wanted, he'd sometimes bury it in the woods to keep it safe until he needed it. Or he'd sink it in Lake Michigan and come back for it later.Dan compares this to hiding GI Joes as a kid -- the careful stashing of things you intend to retrieve. Except the things Young was hiding weighed several tons.When it was time to retrieve a boulder, he'd bring in teams of workhorses. No machinery, no cranes in the early years. Just horses, ropes, and however many men it took to move something that heavy across however much ground stood between the boulder and the house.The Weathervane Restaurant and the 9-Ton Boulder [24:24]The clearest example of how far Young would go for the right stone is the Weathervane Restaurant in Charlevoix. He built it. And for that building, he had been saving a single boulder -- nine tons -- for 26 years.When they finally set it in place, the floor sank. The supports weren't adequate for a 9-ton rock sitting on them indefinitely. They had to redo the foundation underneath it before they could move on.Young didn't reconsider the rock. He redid the floor.The Weathervane is still there. The boulder is still there too.Fireplace as the Heart of the House [26:26]Young treated the fireplace as the center of everything. Not a feature of the house -- the heart of it. In a lot of cases the fireplace was the first thing he designed, and the rest of the floor plan grew outward from there.The fireplaces in his houses are big and boulder-built, and they feel exactly as permanent as they look. They're not decorative. They're structural in the emotional sense of that word -- the thing the rest of the room organizes itself around.Legacy [28:08]Young built somewhere around 26 to 28 homes and three or four commercial buildings over his career. His last major project was the Castle House, which he worked on from 1970 to 1973. By then he was legally blind. He designed parts of it by touch -- running his hands over stone and timber to make decisions he couldn't make with his eyes anymore.He died in 1975. His last act, reportedly, was directing the placement of a boulder at the entrance to his neighborhood. Not a plaque, not a sign. A rock. In the right spot.How to Visit [29:22]The homes are private property. You can drive through the neighborhood and see them from the street -- people do that all the time and it's welcome. Just don't go up to the windows. They're people's houses.The Weathervane Restaurant is open to the public. You can eat there, walk around, and see the 9-ton boulder up close. Dan recommends it. Website: weathervanerestaurant.com.Earl Young's personal home is available to rent on Airbnb. If you want to actually sleep in one of the houses, that's how you do it.Six Design Lessons from Earl Young [32:29]Dan spends the back half of the episode pulling practical design lessons out of Young's approach. Not abstract principles -- specific things a regular homeowner can actually do.1. Snag What Speaks to You [32:29]Dan tells a story about a Cleopatra bust he found years ago. Bought it without knowing what he'd do with it. Then built a whole corner of a room around it -- brass candlesticks, an Art Nouveau painting of Cleopatra by a Michigan artist, pieces that fit the theme. The room came from the object, not the other way around.Young did the same thing with rocks. He found something he loved, and let that be the starting point. Most people wait until they have a plan before they start collecting anything. Young's lesson -- and Dan's -- is that sometimes the piece you can't explain wanting is the piece that tells you what to...

En direct du salon Computex 2026, Carl-Edwin Michel revient sur trois tendances marquantes de l'événement.

If you think code is safe from automation, think again. This week's discussion tackles why the rise of vibe coding and AI-powered tools could upend long-held beliefs about software development, with even seasoned pros rethinking their roles. Also, a new C++ documentary is worth watching! Windows After a weekend of Build session viewing, two big takeaways! Vibe coding native Windows apps and a new reactive dev model for WinUI will help to make modern app dev easier for everyone A new theory emerges: The real reason Microsoft is fixing Windows 11 is that it needs this foundation for a future of hybrid AI agents.

It's developer conference season, and one of the themes so far has been big swings at AI apps. We've seen Gemini Spark, Microsoft Scout, and so many other attempts to figure out what people, and companies, actually want their AI to do. Nilay and David discuss their experiences with the apps, before turning to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's vision for the AI-filled laptop of the future. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for the Hype Desk, Brendan Carr is a Dummy, a deeply dumb Meta hack, and the future of a favorite VR game.
