Tech News Today 1578: Dude, Where's My Steering Wheel?

Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:30:43 PDT

Goodbye PC, Alloy Virtual Reality. That's sort of half a pun for Alloy, the new mixed reality headset that Intel showed off at what might be one of their most important developer's conferences in as long as many of us can remember. Project Alloy is a new virtual reality reference design that requires no computer or smartphone to run it. Intel also announced the new Joule maker board, used for robotic pandas, bartenders, motorcyclists, and more.

Yesterday, we talked to Iain Thomson about a possible hack of The Equation Group, which is part of the NSA. An outfit calling themselves The Shadow Brokers is attempting to auction off a digital arsenal of data they claim comes from the NSA hack. There were two encrypted files and the group provided the password to the first as proof. Iain said experts were still examining the data to determine if it was both real and not available anywhere else. Today, many of those security experts are saying that they believe the data is real AND previously unpublished.

Plus, a new app called iNaturalist, self-driving cars by 2021, and China using quantum physics in space.

According to a new Github project spotted today, Google is creating a new operating system called Fuchsia.

Also, new iPads in fiscal year 2017. Plus, Twitter gets to stream NFL games, but they're advertising on our stickers...and we don't like that very much.

Later this week at Usenix security conference in Austin, researchers will reveal two vulnerabilities of nearly every Volkswagon model since 1995. Cyber Squirrel 1 is a Twitter account and a website that catalogs all unclassified Cyber Squirrel Operations that have been released to the public.

Tue, 09 Aug 2016 12:11:57 PDT

At ClusterHQ, we describe ourselves as The Container Data People™. We believe that support for databases and other stateful services across the entire application life-cycle is a major missing piece of the puzzle for containers and Docker. Without the ability to easily and securely create and share copies of production data, development teams can't fully test their applications before moving to production. Without support for data migration, high availability and disaster recovery, containers can't easily capture the entire application (including databases, queues, and key-value stores) in production in a way that ops can manage. Why should the heart of most applications live outside the container?

Tech News Today 1569: To the Moon!

Wed, 03 Aug 2016 18:00:49 PDT

Just one year ago emerged a would-be competitor to Amazon's massive e-commerce behemoth. Jet.com launched last July, armed with more than $500 million of venture funding, and in one month became the #4 marketplace online in terms of sales...beating out Best Buy, Newegg, Sears and others. But it's aim was to beat Amazon at its own game, and now, Walmart is apparently in talks to buy Jet.com which would signal defeat in its ambitions. Tesla reports earnings, Moon Express wants to monetize moon rocks, and an update on yesterday's report regarding the security of Telegram. Plus, Father Robert Ballecer reports live from the floor of Black Hat. Finally, a bus in China that straddles cars.

Know How... 231: PC for CAD and URB-E Scooter

Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:24:13 PDT

Building a budget PC for Computer Aided Drafting, a second monitor for on the go, and watch us fail at assembling the URB-E Electronic Scooter!

SSD Help

David Ramos: "Hi guys...thanks for the amazing show...I saw the episode where you talked about ssd and I'm trying to build a CAD pc. I was wondering whether the 850 Evo is a good option??? Also I would like to know if you have the optimal specs to build a budget CAD pc....Many thanks!!!"

Here's the Samsung Evo 850

CAD system priorities are different than a gaming or video editing machine. You're not accessing HUGE files all the time, so while a SSD will definitely help make the system feel faster, there are higher priorities

Memory (4GB Minimum, 8GB Standard, 16GB Recommended, 32GB = Happy Padre)
CPU/GPU (This is a tie because different software suites will or will not take full advantage of a GPU. Check with your software and make sure you have a compatible GPU.)
Storage Speed (SSD)

I need a 2nd Monitor!

Daniel Casciato "Padre mentioned on Windows Weekly episode 471 that one of his best tech purchases was a portable accessory screen for his laptop. This allowed him to use a dual screen setup on the go. 2 questions...
1. what is this screen?
2. Can it be used with a stylus for digital notes, specifically as an input for OneNote?"

Asus MB169C+

15.6"
Full HD
1920x1080
IPS
USB-C ONLY!

Asus MB169V+

Same Specs
No IPS, USB 3.0

The URB-E Electronic Scooter

Basic Specs:

36V Lithium-Ion (Charges in 4 hours)
250Watt motor
20 miles on a single charge
15mph top speed
Disk Brakes
Aluminum and Carbon Fiber construction (35 lbs)
Foldable/Collapsible
Drink/Phone Holders
Shock-Absorbing Seat

There are three editions of the URB-E

URB-E GP Original Edition (Gunmetal & Artic White) $1,499
URB-E Black Label Edition $1,699
- Adds torque and acceleration with a tuned motor controller
URB-E Electric Edition $1,999
- This is the "Looker" model

Tech News Today 1563: The Morrone Hack Test

Tue, 26 Jul 2016 18:25:37 PDT

It's earnings week! After their respective announcements, Apple stock is up and Twitter stock is down. Regarding Apple, revenue dropped and hardware sales continue to decline, but less than Wall Street thought they would. Oh, and the company is still sitting on a ridiculous pile of cash. Apple says they sold 40.4 million iPhones, 9.95 million iPads (which is better than expected), and 4.25 million Macs.

Kurt Wagner joins us to talk about how Twitter still struggles with user growth and harassment. BlackBerry has made a bet on Android, first with its BlackBerry Priv (released last year with a slide-out keyboard and premium price) and now with its followup, the BlackBerry DTEK50. The National Transportation Board released a preliminary report of the May 7th fatal accident involving a Tesla in autopilot mode. Finally, MIT wants to rid the world of 3D glasses.

Tech News Today 1561: Hovering Slurpees

Fri, 22 Jul 2016 18:34:03 PDT

It appears that Yahoo's search for a suitor is nearing its bitter end. Sources report that a sale of Yahoo's search business to Verizon is imminent. This doesn't come as much of a surprise. We've all read the leaks and speculation and Verizon has been a front-runner for a while, due in part to its massive pile of cash and its ability and desire to patch together a digital media empire along with its purchase of AOL. Seems like a game of Monopoly to us.

Fresh off yesterday's announcement of a phone case that stops government surveillance, NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden appeared at a secret Comic-Con screening of the film Snowden by Oliver Stone.

The New York Times reports that internet celebrity Jack Johnson has been hacking his fans accounts. How? He asked for their credentials and tens of thousands of them complied. The YouTube and Vine star then left funny videos on the fans Twitter account, playing keyboard, doing somersaults, or praising their pinned tweets with the hashtag, HackedByJohnson. The Times says those kids who handed over their passwords knew exactly what they were doing and it was a normal act of teenage rebellion.

Amazon drones are yet to deliver sneakers to my home, but 7-Eleven has completed its maiden home drone delivery, dropping off Slurpees, a chicken sandwich, donuts, hot coffee and candy directly to somebody's front door. 7-Eleven partnerered with drone company Flirty to make the FAA approved delivery. Last year we told you about Flirty's first delivery ever, which was to deliver medical supplies from an airfield to a medical clinic. Slurpees are a far cry from medical supplies. But the coffee is another story.
