Tips and picks

Tip of the week: It’s time to review your subscriptions

I’m suffering from subscription fatigue, and I bet you are too. Let’s take stock.

Plus: Sign-up for the limited iOS preview of xCloud!

App pick of the week: Tweeten 5

Mehedi has updated Tweeten to version 5, adding Windows 10 on ARM support and several new features.

App pick of the week #2: Windows 10X Emulator

The Windows 10X emulator has some specific requirements, but it gives developers—and, yes, enthusiasts—their first peek at the future.

Enterprise pick of the week:  The ‘LDAP Apocalypse’ has been postponed

Microsoft isn’t going to start pushing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol changes around LDAP channel binding and signing until the second half of this year. MS will send a notice to users when the March updates are available; enforcement not till 2nd H. Crisis averted… or at least delayed: https://mcpmag.com/articles/2020/02/05/microsoft-ldap-config-changes.aspx?m=1 

Codename pick of the week: Vail

I’ve heard folks at Microsoft talk about the 10X/Lite container infrastructure as codename “Vail.” Remember a couple of years ago when there were citations of Rail/Vail coming to Windows? VAIL was Virtualized Application Infrastructure Layer, which ended up being (at least in theory) how the Win32 containerized apps will work. (Bonus: Windows Home Server 2011 also was codenamed Vail.)

Beer pick of the week: Evil Twin OUR MARSHMALLOW, RASPBERRY, CHERRY, VANILLA SLUSH POP

A new sour IPA from the excellent Evil Twin NYC folks – who happen to have the longest and weirdest beer names around. This sounds bizarre but it really works. Lots of raspberry and a touch of sweet vanilla make this taste a lot like a slush pop (in a very good way). Sour IPAs are definitely a nice hybrid for folks who like sours but aren’t sure about IPAs and vice v.
