Tips and picks

Tip of the week: Thinking about smart home tech? Think again

Most smart home projects are a waste of time and money. Think twice before paying for products that will only complicate your life.

App pick of the week: Microsoft News

Microsoft News is a (mostly) good anecdote to the crap news aggregators out there now. It’s on mobile and Windows 10 now (Fast ring).

Enterprise pick of the week: A new ‘big brains’ podcast from Microsoft worth checking out

“Behind the Tech” is a new podcast series with Microsoft’s CTO Kevin Scott as the anchor. He’s interviewing some of the really big names at Microsoft. First up: Anders Hejlsberg.

Enterprise pick 2: A new container base image is coming to Win Server

Windows Server users already have Nano Server and Windows Server Core images available to them. With Win Server 2019, a third image is coming: Windows. It’s available to Win 10 Insider testers as of today.

And speaking of Server, this week’s Windows Server Summit sessions are all online and available for your viewing for free.

A big stout that tastes more like frosting than beer. Chocolate cocoa and vanilla. But sometimes, that’s what you want for dessert.  And for those in NYC: Grimm is FINALLY opening their NYC brewery this weekend in Brooklyn! Wooohooo!
