Bedrock is Expensify's recently open-sourced technology. It's a RDBMS optimized for self-healing replication across relatively slow, relatively unreliable WAN connections, enabling extremely high availability / high performance multi-datacenter deployments without any single point of failure. Bedrock supports the MySQL protocol and is thus compatible with all your favorite tools, or using the provided PHP client library. In addition to a RDBMS, Bedrock also includes a plugin framework for a reliable job queue and replicated cache, serving as a complete back-end framework for data storage, caching, and job management.

A week in: How's the Fall Creators Update rollout going? Surprisingly well, though not flawless. Plus: Hands-on (again) with Windows Mixed Reality. What it is, what it isn't

Windows Phone rollout still hasn't happened. (Coming this week, supposedly.) Windows Server 1709: What's missing? HoloLens is not going to get the Fall Creators Update at all. (What do we make of that?) Related: A new Redstone 4 test build (17025) just appeared before the show began

The first (and maybe only?) Cortana powered speaker: The Invoke. We got to test these out for a week. Our verdicts? MJF: Nice, but not a must-have. PT: A beautiful device, but... Related: Cortana gets a major update on iOS, Android

Xbox roundup: global launch happening for Xbox One X on Nov. 7. Original Xbox games now available on Xbox One. RIP, Microsoft Kinect. Related: Mixer broadcasting integrated into Minecraft. Related: The mysterious case of Halo: Master Chief Collection

• Tip of the week: Get ready for Xbox One X
Plus: Big Halloween games sale for Xbox 360 and Xbox One
Plus: We figured out OneDrive Files on Demand

• App pick of the week: Kindle for Android and iOS gets a major update

• Enterprise pick of the week: Roadmap (take 1) for the Skype for Biz- MS Teams migration
Bonus enterprise pick: K is for Kubernetes

• Codename pick of the week: Fission
Fission was the original codename for the emulator for Xbox games backward compatibility. (The IGN 'untold story' on the backward compatibility stuff has other codenames, anecdotes, etc.)

Beer of the Week: Citizen Cider: The Dirty Mayor

Pixel 2 XL clicking, hissing, and burn-in (but no explosions). YouTube's brilliant World Series advertising. Mystery Oreos taste gross. 50 new kids' games on Google Home. Google can help you find the perfect Halloween costume. KFC's other 11 Herbs and Spices. Twitter will fix everything next week. Amazon HQ2 shenanigans. Get your Amazon deliveries in your house. The Reaper botnet is very, very big. Essential phone slashing prices. Snap Spectacles didn't sell well. Harman Kardon Invoke speaker with Cortana sounds muddy, and is not very smart.
