  • This Week in Space 216: Dark Matter Intelligence

    We've had endless conversations about aliens and first contact--but what if a conversation with other intelligences is beyond our scope? Dr. Daniel Whiteson, particle physicist at CERN's Large Hadron Collider and professor at UC Irvine, joins us to explore less conventional thoughts on first contact. We look at the challenges of communicating with extraterrestrial intelligences, potential difficulties of communicating via non-terrestrial mathematics and physics, and the possibility that extraterrestrials might actually be terrestrial... but existing as denizens of the dark energy universe. One might be sitting in your lap right now! Join us for the far-ranging discussion.

    Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of The Verge joins Tech News Weekly with Mikah Sargent! Matter 1.6 is unveiled. A federal probe has been opened into Tesla. Snap and Meta are making major moves in smart glasses this week. And is the rising cost of tech becoming too much?

  • Mikah shares how another federal probe has been opened into Tesla, this time a Model 3 vehicle that slammed into a Texas home and killed a 76-year-old in the house.
  • Scott Stein joins the show to talk about Snap and Meta's newest smart glasses.
  • And both Mikah and Scott talk about the increasing cost of tech as Steam's new Steam Machine is given a starting price point of $1,049, and Apple just announced a price hike across its Mac, iPad, and home devices.

          • Windows Weekly 989: Deer Hate MSDN

            Windows 12 is stalled and the real reasons go far beyond software. The conversation unpacks how soaring hardware prices, AI chaos, and market confusion have Microsoft in a holding pattern. Also, Paul finally took a sledgehammer to the subscription services he pays for, and more is on the way. Plus, one of Paul's favorite Markdown editors supports authorship on Windows now and an integrated Search/Outline view on Mac, iPad, and iPad.

            Windows

          • Week D is here with a preview of July's Patch Tuesday
          • Point-in-time restore is now generally available in Windows 11, sort of
          • Quieter widgets, which is nice! Plus, Screen tint, Windows Update improvements, more
          • Tied to this, sort of, something wonderful is happening to the Windows 11 Field Guide
          • Five new builds, plus some 26H2 news (and still no news about what 26H1 becomes, see below...)
          • Mostly minor fit-and-finish improvements
          • So... what about Windows 12? The history is interesting, and Copilot+ PC was what Paul originally thought Windows 12 would be. But now we're talking agentic capabilities that will handle local/cloud/hybrid orchestration per last week's discussion, and maybe that will be it.
          • We knew that Surface Laptop and Surface Pro would come in 8 GB configurations. But they're available now with just 256 GB of storage and the prices are $950 and $850 and up, respectively. Plus all the usual Surface limitations, like one color choice. (16 GB is $1150 and $1050, respectively, so $300 more.)
          • Once again, it's time to just get a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5x for $850. It has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage and is awesome.
          • Tim Cook just admitted that Apple will raise hardware prices because of the component crisis. If this is hitting Apple hard, the rest of the industry is screwed.

            • AI

          • Cory Doctorow's new book is out and let's just say his new neologism isn't as catchy as enshittification
          • Reverse centaur (groan)
          • Surprisingly centrist view on the pros and cons of AI
          • Highlights the Microsoft financial shenanigans I point out every quarter: Microsoft "invests" $10 billion of "tokens" in OpenAI, but there's no volume discount and Microsoft books the transaction as $10 billion in AI revenues as OpenAI simply uses its infrastructure. It gave $10 billion to OpenAI so that it could spend $10 billion on Azure.
          • Google Home Speaker is the Gemini speaker and it's now shipping to first customers as Google discontinues Nest Audio and Nest Mini speakers. Can we trust this company with hardware? And why are there no Apple or Google home theater setups?
          • Adobe brings its creative agent to Firefly and the biggest apps in Creative Cloud

            • XBOX & gaming

          • No movement yet on the massive changes we expect in XBOX soon
          • Microsoft has "dozens" of gaming IP-based movies and TV shows in the works
          • XBOX Insiders can now test updates to Gamertags, Game Hub, and Wish List
          • Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 are being ported to modern PS consoles. Sadly, not remakes or remasters.
          • GTA VI will cost $79.99 and up - Arrives in November, can preorder on June 25
          • Steam Machine to cost $1049 and up, and that's with no controller

                Tim Cook signals that the company will likely raise its prices down the road due to the memory chip shortage. Apple's AirPods Pro 3 heart rate sensor is almost as accurate as the one in the Apple Watch. Still waiting to gain access to Siri AI? There's a shortcut to bypass it. And Apple's App Store is logging more data from you than most initially thought, per some security researchers.
