Ingram Micro has suffered a significant ransomware attack attributed to the SafePay group, disrupting its systems and affecting deliveries across multiple regions. The attack, which is believed to have exploited vulnerabilities in the company's GlobalProtect virtual private network, has left its website and online ordering systems offline since July 5, 2025. SafePay claims to have accessed sensitive data, including financial information and customer records, and has demanded a ransom for data security. This incident highlights the fragility of the supply chain for IT providers, as Ingram Micro is a critical distributor relied upon by managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs).The podcast also discusses the recent shift in the desktop operating system market, with Windows 11 surpassing Windows 10 in market share. Despite this milestone, the adoption of Windows 11 has been slower than its predecessor due to stringent hardware requirements and a lack of consumer interest in upgrading. While the commercial sector is expected to see an increase in shipments as businesses transition to Windows 11, the consumer market remains weak, influenced by tariffs and inflation. Microsoft is preparing to offer extended support for Windows 10, allowing organizations to continue receiving critical updates as the end of support date approaches.Flamingo has launched OpenMSP, a platform aimed at helping MSPs and managed security service providers reduce software costs through open-source tools and AI-driven margin analysis. This initiative comes as software licensing and technician salaries consume a significant portion of revenue for these service providers. Meanwhile, Cloudflare has announced measures to block AI web crawlers by default, addressing concerns over unauthorized content scraping. This move could lead to a new content licensing model for AI training, potentially creating new revenue streams for content-heavy clients.The episode concludes with a tribute to Alan D. Weinberger, the founder of the ASCII group, who recently passed away. His contributions to the IT community and the establishment of a supportive network for MSPs are recognized as significant. The podcast emphasizes the importance of community in the technology-driven business landscape and encourages listeners to consider the human aspect of the industry. Additionally, it highlights the need for robust backup solutions, such as Comet Backup, to protect against potential disruptions in the face of increasing cyber threats.

Edition No181 | 07-07-2025 - This episode humorously examines the suspicious death of people working under Putin, comparing these incidents to critical "Windows errors," suggesting the regime might need a reboot. We discuss this pattern of mysterious deaths and unexplained accidents, and the impact of these events on the perception of working inside Russia. Stay tuned as we delve into this dark history and try to understand the possible causes.----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyvi who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence. He says, there is a serious shortage of blood plasma here in Ukraine. He has had several messages from ex-comrades and medics, asking if the Allies can help find much needed plasma for medical stations at various depths behind the 'zero' or frontline. This shortage is killing wounded fighting men and women and, all too often, the medics and ambulance drivers who try to evacuate them.A medic friend who has been saving lives in Ukraine for three years, he says, explained how she lost four medic friends and units sustained several casualties, because of the lack of medical evacuation units, ambulances at the front and plasma. During recent delays in receiving equipment and supplies, one group had to walk out...like WW1 stretcher bearers...during which episode they suffered 50% casualties from enemy drones. Including new solar powered drone variants. We desperately need to find ways to improve casualty survival rates, with basic supplies like plasma that we take for granted outside Ukraine. ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: Putin's Regime Under Scrutiny00:30 Wave of Unexplained Deaths Among Russia's Elite01:02 Case Studies of Suspicious Deaths04:24 Expert Opinions and Analysis06:23 International Ramifications and Economic Impact07:28 Recent Developments: Grounded Jets and Arrests09:55 Conclusion: The Insecurity of Putin's Regime10:15 Urgent Appeal for Blood Plasma in Ukraine----------LINKS: https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/03/russia-putin-ukraine-war-trump-strategy-politics/?tpcc=recirc_more_from_fp051524 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2061159/president-finland-putin-mistake https://theconversation.com/history-shows-that-donald-trump-is-making-a-serious-error-in-appeasing-vladimir-putin-257252 https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-copying-soviet-union-approach-bankrupted-russia-poland-minister-davos-2025-1 https://mickryan.substack.com/p/another-big-putin-mistake https://www.theglobalist.com/russia-china-united-states-europe-geopolitics-ukraine-war-donald-trump-vladimir-putin/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/27/world/video/stubb-putin-strategy-live-fst052707pseg1-cnn-world-fast https://ig.ft.com/russias-war-in-ukraine-mapped/ https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putins-biggest-mistake-was-believing-ukrainians-were-really-russians/ https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-putin-fundamental-mistake-snyder/32824024.html----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Microsoft's latest round of layoffs hits Xbox Gaming hard as the company cuts approximately 9,000 jobs despite record profits. This week, Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell discuss the impact of these layoffs, Windows 11's new version naming, Microsoft Copilot coming to Mac, and dive deep into passkey security. LAYOFFS As expected, Microsoft began a massive round of layoffs across Xbox/Microsoft Gaming on Wednesday. The fiscal year started on Tuesday. These were originally going to happen a week or two earlier. 9,000 employees impacted across Microsoft - about 4 percent of workforce, Xbox/MSGaming was NOT hit hardest, Microsoft now says (on top of 6,000 in May). 10 percent of King being laid off. Carefully worded email from Phil Spencer requires some parsing. It's Finally Official: 25H2 Is Next! Microsoft finally admits that the Dev channel is testing Windows 11 version 25H2, which will arrive, as expected, around October This news came as part of another set of commingled Dev and Beta channel builds. 25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package, so it's a minor release technically. Dev and Beta are linked because 25H2 and 24H2 are linked: Each will get the same features, as started with 22H2/23H2 in late 2023. Windows 11 Last week was Week D, but we didn't get preview updates per usual before WW That finally happened last Thursday - new preview updates for 24H2 and 23H2/22H2 24H2: Click to Do improvements, start of PC migration in Windows Backup, small icons in Taskbar, more. Windows Insider Preview: Those Dev/Beta builds noted above have the first implementation of third-party passkey. Microsoft Edge 138 is a pretty big update, with AI-enhanced history search and Copilot integration into the search box and new tab page. AI Microsoft 365 Copilot is available on the Mac. Apple may cave and adopt Anthropic Claude and/or OpenAI ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence. After Coda's acquisition and $1 billion in funding, Grammarly acquires Superhuman to build an "AI-native" productivity suite that will take on Big Tech (Microsoft, Google) and Little Tech (Notion, Proton) alike. Xbox and Gaming Xbox 360 dashboard is getting its first update in years. Halo Studios teases an October tease of the next Halo from the studio. New Game Pass titles for the first half of July - plus, COD: WWII turns up in Game Pass for the first time. Cursor sort of comes to the web and mobile - like Adobe Firefly on mobile, but for devs when "the mood strikes". Tips and Picks Tip/App picks of the week: Cure Mac envy. The Mac is about to get even prettier. But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge. The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative. Software? It's all free. Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time. Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too. Want Spotlight? No problem, we have Command Palette (an updated, more extensible PowerToys Run) in PowerToys. Bonus app pick: Inoreader for RSS feeds (and read later if you want).

"The path to getting to where I am today wasn't easy nor without struggle. 4 years ago, I embarked on my healing journey. I wasn't happy in my life and I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that there was something more out there that I wasn't pursuing. I followed all the rules; I did what I was told. But I felt lost. I felt alone. I had no confidence, numbed out with substances, and was afraid of EVERYTHING. I knew something had to change so I signed up for a 200 hour yoga teacher training program. During my training, things shifted for me. I became in touch with my body and appreciated it more than I ever had before. And for the first time, I felt a connection to the divine, my soul. I felt a sense of peace and relief from the monotonous pain of life. I wish I could say things were linear after that but years of deep-seeded beliefs about myself were hard to break. It was only in the last 3 years that things really shifted for me. I made taking care of myself my #1 priority. And thus began the period of massive transformation. I tended to my wounds and needs. I let go of unhealthy relationships and patterns. I integrated all of the knowledge, teachings, and trainings I had done along the way. Which leads me to now. 2024. Where my passion to help others transform, heal and blossom the way I did, became my dream career. I've never felt more aligned, like I'm EXACTLY where I need to be." - Shannon Tomascak Don't forget about this amazing free offer from Jordan.

What happens when technology takes a step backward to move forward? This week's episode explores the strange territory where nostalgia, practicality, and innovation collide in unexpected ways.Microsoft is killing off the iconic Blue Screen of Death after four decades, replacing the familiar blue error screen with a simplified black version. While the company claims this will provide better troubleshooting information, we question whether changing such a recognizable symbol of Windows crashes makes sense. After all, when something isn't broken, why fix it?Meanwhile, a fascinating trend has emerged in Portland, Maine, where parents have created a "landline pod" — installing traditional home phones for their children instead of smartphones. What started with one parent's decision has grown to include 15-20 families who are witnessing remarkable improvements in their children's social skills and creative thinking. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the most innovative solution is returning to simpler technologies.The show takes a deep dive into consumer protection as the FTC approves $126 million in refunds for nearly one million Fortnite players who fell victim to "dark pattern" purchases. Epic Games' deceptive design practices that tricked users into making unwanted purchases remind us that ethical considerations often lag behind technological capabilities.We couldn't help but laugh at the bizarre world of robot pets with the discovery of a $50 "attack dog" from Timu that shoots pellets and simulates urination. This strange creation somehow keeps users engaged for hours, proving there's a market for even the oddest technological innovations.Our whiskey tasting features Wild Turkey 101 8-year bourbon, which received enthusiastic approval from our hosts. With notes of vanilla, clove, and toffee, this $45 bourbon proves that sometimes traditional craftsmanship is worth celebrating.Join us for a journey through technology's strangest corners, where old becomes new again and the digital world continues to surprise us in the most unexpected ways.

This MacVoices Live! discussion opens with public service announcements about expanded Anker power bank recalls and Microsoft Authenticator password support—critical updates for user safety and data integrity. The penel honors the late Tim Robertson, a pioneering voice in the Apple community and early podcaster. Then, Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea debate Apple's new App Store structure in the EU, examining the implications of tiered developer models, regulatory pressure, and whether Apple's tight control over its platform is justified or overdue for reform. The group also weighs contrasting views on Epic's Tim Sweeney, the role of government oversight, and what Apple's strategic shifts might mean for users and developers alike.

Microsoft's latest round of layoffs hits Xbox Gaming hard as the company cuts approximately 9,000 jobs despite record profits. This week, Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell discuss the impact of these layoffs, Windows 11's new version naming, Microsoft Copilot coming to Mac, and dive deep into passkey security. LAYOFFS As expected, Microsoft began a massive round of layoffs across Xbox/Microsoft Gaming on Wednesday. The fiscal year started on Tuesday. These were originally going to happen a week or two earlier. 9,000 employees impacted across Microsoft - about 4 percent of workforce, Xbox/MSGaming was NOT hit hardest, Microsoft now says (on top of 6,000 in May). 10 percent of King being laid off. Carefully worded email from Phil Spencer requires some parsing. It's Finally Official: 25H2 Is Next! Microsoft finally admits that the Dev channel is testing Windows 11 version 25H2, which will arrive, as expected, around October This news came as part of another set of commingled Dev and Beta channel builds. 25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package, so it's a minor release technically. Dev and Beta are linked because 25H2 and 24H2 are linked: Each will get the same features, as started with 22H2/23H2 in late 2023. Windows 11 Last week was Week D, but we didn't get preview updates per usual before WW That finally happened last Thursday - new preview updates for 24H2 and 23H2/22H2 24H2: Click to Do improvements, start of PC migration in Windows Backup, small icons in Taskbar, more. Windows Insider Preview: Those Dev/Beta builds noted above have the first implementation of third-party passkey. Microsoft Edge 138 is a pretty big update, with AI-enhanced history search and Copilot integration into the search box and new tab page. AI Microsoft 365 Copilot is available on the Mac. Apple may cave and adopt Anthropic Claude and/or OpenAI ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence. After Coda's acquisition and $1 billion in funding, Grammarly acquires Superhuman to build an "AI-native" productivity suite that will take on Big Tech (Microsoft, Google) and Little Tech (Notion, Proton) alike. Xbox and Gaming Xbox 360 dashboard is getting its first update in years. Halo Studios teases an October tease of the next Halo from the studio. New Game Pass titles for the first half of July - plus, COD: WWII turns up in Game Pass for the first time. Cursor sort of comes to the web and mobile - like Adobe Firefly on mobile, but for devs when "the mood strikes". Tips and Picks Tip/App picks of the week: Cure Mac envy. The Mac is about to get even prettier. But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge. The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative. Software? It's all free. Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time. Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too. Want Spotlight? No problem, we have Command Palette (an updated, more extensible PowerToys Run) in PowerToys. Bonus app pick: Inoreader for RSS feeds (and read later if you want).
