Introducing the Windows 11 Feature Tracker
"From the 'I should have done this two years ago' files, the 'I have wasted my life' files, and the, 'great, I needed more work to do' files ... There is a need for this. So I made one. But it will evolve. Maybe into a web app/wiki/something else... like a Notion website?" - Paul Patch Tuesday brings a metric ton of new features - And what the tracker showed clearly Two seconds after posting the tracker, Microsoft changed the Copilot app yet again - proving the need for the tracker - And demonstrating why the Insider Program is so screwed up A hidden new Start menu in recent builds presents an interesting conundrum: How to handle something Microsoft has not announced?More Windows 11
Beta build for 23H2: File new tab/new window changes, Explorer context menu regression may be permanent Dev and Beta (24H2): Taskbar icon scaling is a blast from the past we all need desperately Intel is killing Unison app and serviceLike winter, Build is coming

Paul and Richard are going Overview of the Windows Copilot Runtime (one year after it was announced), Windows Actions, standard Kayla Cinnamon talk on Windows productivity, using your own model with WCR, native app experiences(!), Arm64 app perf, etc.AI
Final thoughts on Microsoft's 50th: Biggest accomplishment wasn't any tech, it was changing with the times. What it's best at: Democratizing tech for the commoners, an expansion on Jack Tramiel/Commodore's "computers for the masses, not the classes" schtick. And that is exactly what it is doing with AI right now Microsoft hosts a consumer AI event and announces a metric ton of new Copilot features We need a Copilot feature tracker. Copilot = every single feature other AIs have - Copilot Actions on the web, memory and personalization, Copilot Vision on mobile and Windows, AI-generated podcasts and Microsoft releases Copilot Search in Bing Is AI turning us all into Charly from Flowers for Algernon? AI is making us stupider! There are studies!! This is the argument against every single tech advance from the steam train to the ballpoint pen to this Microsoft's AI demo of vibe-coded Quake II highlights the problem nicely Sometimes it's the little things: AI recaps for book series in Kindle GitHub Copilot updated with Agent Mode, Cursor-style code overviews, moreXbox & gaming

Canon printer driver vulnerabilities enable Windows kernel exploitation. Astonishing cyber-security awareness from a household appliance manufacturer. France tries to hook 2.5 million school children with a Phishing test. Wordpress added an abuse prone feature in 2022. Guess what happened? Oracle? Is there something you'd like to tell us? Utah's governor just signed the App Store Accountability Act. Now what? AI bots hungry for new data are DDoSing FOSS projects. No Microsoft Account? No Microsoft Windows 11. Gmail claims it now offers E2EE. It kinda sorta does. Somewhat. A dreaded CVSS 10.0 was discovered in Apache Parquet. A bunch of terrific listener feedback.

This week, it's cool space news you can use (if you're not stuck on the ISS!). We look at the recent flight of Fram 2, the first spacecraft to fly a polar orbit; recent revelations about the flight of Starliner from commander Butch Wilmore; a mysterious Russian satellite behaving strangely; and carnivorous Martian dust devils. We also update you on SpaceX's next test of Starship, SpinLaunch's mighty "space cannon," recent experiments on abating lunar dust, and much more. Join us!
Fram 2 Mission - SpaceX's private orbital mission financed by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang completed a four-day flight, making history as the first mission to send astronauts over Earth's poles. Amazon's Kuiper Satellites - Amazon launched its first batch of 27 Kuiper internet satellites on an Atlas 5 rocket, beginning its planned 3,200-satellite constellation to compete with SpaceX's Starlink. Blue Origin's All-Female Flight Controversy? - Actress Olivia Munn is blasting the all-female crew for Blue Origin's next suborbital flight for its costly, gluttonous mission. Tariffs Impact on Space Industry - The hosts discussed how new tariffs could affect aerospace companies that rely on international partnerships and imported components for spacecraft manufacturing. US Military Cargo Delivery with SpaceX - The US military's Rocket Cargo Vanguard program plans to test using SpaceX's Starship to deliver 100 tons of cargo anywhere in the world in under 90 minutes. Starliner's Harrowing Mission - New details revealed that Boeing's Starliner mission was more dangerous than initially reported, with multiple thruster failures creating serious maneuvering issues, threatening to leave them adrift in space. Mysterious Russian Satellites - Three Russian satellites (Cosmos 2581-2583) were observed performing proximity operations and possibly deploying another object in orbit, raising concerns about their purpose. Starship Test 9 Preparations - SpaceX is preparing to refly a Starship booster with 29 reused engines, marking progress toward their fully reusable rocket system. Japan's Mars Plans - JAXA is planning to send multiple mini rovers to Mars using an inflatable heat shield technology to enable larger payload deliveries, and add a lander to Phobos. Cannibal Dust Devils on Mars - The Perseverance rover captured images of two dust devils on Mars merging, with the larger one (210 feet wide) absorbing a smaller one (16 feet wide). Lunar Dust Mitigation Technology - NASA successfully tested an electrodynamic dust shield on Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander that could help manage the highly problematic lunar dust on future missions. Asteroid 2024 YR4 Update - James Webb Space Telescope observations determined the asteroid is about 200 feet wide with a slightly increased 3.8% chance of hitting the moon in 2032, up from 1.7%. SpinLaunch's Satellite Plans - SpinLaunch received $12 million in funding to develop an enhanced system using centrifugal force to launch up to 250 satellites at once, potentially offering a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly launch alternative.Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik
