May 11, 2019 074: What's Old is New Again
Go see Avengers. And don't be jealous, Star Wars, just Use the Force, Harry. Data on Let's Encrypt, HoloLens' live demo doesn't, and we reference two past episodes (37 and 39). Ransomware is targeting source on GitHub, Jon talks containers for Too Long, and a clever CSS hack. For fun, Eric likes the Texas Sand Fest winner and an AirPod that's 'been there, done that.' (no thank you). Jon is excited for Windows Terminal (go browse the source!).

Telnet Server on Wheels. Sneaky robots.txt. Renting a parking space is cheaper than Office Space. Finally, what every podcast needs is MORE COWBELL.

April 05, 2019069: I don't like either of those
Eric misses Chicago and ends up in Texas eating a tomahawk. Water is still wet (aka Facebook data leak in the news again). Jon follows up with some ASUS/Shadowhammer info (then his cat chimes). Robocalls are bad. Java is now bad - or at least the unlicensed version is. Eric and Jon reminisce about Java. NuGet package signing info and heat moving at the speed of sound. Finally, something different. Jon talks about bees.
