There's new releases all around, with Calibre 9.5, Gimp 3.2, Handbrake 1.11, and KeePassXC 2.7.12 all releasing updates. Then Fedora has a RISC-V complaint, the kernel is publishing an API specification, and systemd is adding AI-specific documentation. SUSE may be for sale, and the guys have ideas about who may be interested in purchasing, while TrueNAS makes waves by closing the future source of their system build scripts. For tips, we have "udevadm info" for querying the device database, arch-deckify for turning a machine into a SteamOS experience, and an intro to Bash's ctrl-r search function.

When most people think about deep space exploration, management acumen is generally not the first thing they settle on—but without it, no robotic mission would ever succeed. This week we are joined by Jay Gallentine, author of multiple books on the robotic exploration of space. Each of these tomes is a somewhat of a masterpiece; a deep dive into a topic that few explore in such detail. His newest book, "Born to Explore," started off as a book about robots exploring Mars, but his interviews with former JPL manager John Casani was so compelling that he transformed it into a biography. John Casani is a legend at JPL and NASA, and his story reads like a combination of a spaceflight adventure, personal memoir, and a pirate's tale. You'll love the book, and you'll love hearing about it from Jay. Join us!

Dan Moren of SixColors joins Mikah Sargent again on Tech News Weekly! Grammarly is facing a class action lawsuit over its AI "Expert Review" feature. Live Nation's settlement with the DOJ does very little. A recap of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. And China is obsessed with OpenClaw AI.
Dan talks about a class-action lawsuit brought against Grammarly and its company, Superhuman, over its AI "Expert Review" feature that offered editing suggestions as if they came from various authors and academics, without their consent.
Mikah, and many others, are perplexed at the DOJ's settlement with Live Nation Entertainment and what little Live Nation had to concede as part of the settlement.
Abrar Al-Heeti of CNET stops by to share her experience at MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona and what she and her CNET colleagues saw there.
And Mikah shares about China's obsession with the OpenClaw AI craze and how users are utilizing the AI agent.

Leo, I remember watching you on TV in the late 90's. I don't remember which channel it was on. It was before TechTV or G4. I've got much love for you, and love that you're still going. Give Beneto his own show!
Leon Bad. Elon Good.
The host for Security Now is seriously awful, and basically does nothing but reads articles S-L-O-W-L-Y for almost the entire podcast. His tonality is so monotonous I can't do it anymore. This show is just bad, sorry.
As for your sponsor Helm, they are TRYING their best to help with privacy, and I do appreciate their effort. But they are USA-based, and if you listen to the CEO's interview with Jason Calacanis, he admits that the FBI came to question him before it even launched! Do you REALLY think a product like this that will be watched like a hawk is going to be private? Educate yourself and do things yourself without Helm to avoid the risk of a backdoor.
Regarding VPN suggestions in this episode: Express is good (though mainstream and a larger target, could be trouble moving forward), lots of new tech, encrypted DNS fetching, good jurisdiction, Nord is better than some, TONS of servers, performance is ok, but their app does forced analytics. TunnelBear has been sold to a USA-based corporation and should be AVOIDED. Don't listen to these mainstream tech sites, first rule of VPN Club: you NEVER use a USA-based VPN, it is the worst possible jusidiction for privacy, even worse than Australia. Overall the best VPNs are offshore outside the 9 Eyes, with OpenVPN standard, that are medium-sized and run by privacy activists preferably.
Good point by Leo. I am so glad that he doesn't install or use Facebook or FB-owned platforms. Sadly he is right about the Facebook "shadow profiles", where they create a non-public acccount for you for their internal data, it is rather psycho. But not using FB-owned products does help a LOT to stop tracking.
Stop referring to the company as "Ring", it is owned by AMAZON. This scandal about Amazon using their Amazon Ring doorbells to spy on people by force should be the top headline on all news sites, as it expands the government/police spying in the USA by a huge margin...and why should this stop in the US? They ship worldwide, there is nothing stopping them from doing so globally. And the fact that it was Amazon the contacted las enforcement about this and not the other way around speaks volumes. People should be terrified about this.
How is this Steve guy supposedly a security expert when he admits he doesn't even encrypt any of his cloud files? He also said that he does all his work from home, in which case, why are you even using cloud storage and exposing yourself to additional risk in the first place? Just do 2x local backups. It is difficult to take advice seriously when something as basic as encryption is ignored.
