The guys explore SMTP fixes, quantum mechanics, and how quantum computing might disrupt encryption, plus IBM’s free quantum resources.

Bits, Quits, and Quantum Fits: The Mysteries of SMTP and Superposition

Ned and Chris dive back into the nightmare disaster hellscape that is SMTP and explore the band-aid solutions of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Then, they take on quantum mechanics and computing. After all, who doesn’t love a good brain-melting challenge? The guys also explore the wild world of qubits, superposition, and the potential future where quantum computing could make encryption as we know it obsolete. Plus, Chris gives a shout-out to IBM’s free quantum computing resources—because who wouldn’t want to dabble in quantum for fun?
