19			Matt Mullenweg took to the stage at WordCamp US to criticise WordPress host WP Engine for sisabling revision storage and not contributing enough to the developent of the open source WordPress project it uses to run its services. Mullenweg developed WordPress and his company Automattic also uses it. Mullenweg has invested in WP Engine and spoke at their conference last year but his relatiionship has apparently soured. He called on Wordpress user to vote with their wallet and mentioned Hostinger, Bluehost Cloud, and Pressable as alternative providers to consider.	https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/22/matt-mullenweg-calls-wp-engine-a-cancer-to-wordpress-and-urges-community-to-switch-providers/
20			The US just announced a plan to banRussian and Chinese software and some Chinese hardware from cars in the US as a matter of national security. An announcement claimed China could use tech from connected vehicles “within our supply chains for surveillance and sabotage to undermine national security.” The proposed rules would cover any pace of hardware that connects to something outside the car, including Bluetooth, WiFi, satellite or cellular components. This would effectively ban all Chinese cars from being sold in the US. If the proposed ban is adopted it would go into effect for the model year 2027 for software and 2030 for hardware.	https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/biden-administration-seeks-ban-on-auto-software-from-china-154025671.html
21			TechCrunch reports on a new software license issued by a half dozen companies recently called Fair Source. It lets developers offer access to source code, letting users modify it and self-host it, as long as they don't commercialize a competing product. The main example iOS the Functional Source License developed and issued by software developer Sentry. There's also the Fair Core License and the pre-existing BUSL or Business Source License. Critics say the definitions int he license are too fuzzy and subject to change with little notice.	https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/22/some-startups-are-going-fair-source-to-avoid-the-pitfalls-of-open-source-licensing/
22			Late Friday media reports began circling that Qualcomm was considering an offer to buy Intel. Analysts generally agreed that the idea of considering it seems likely but the idea of it happening seems unlikely. While Qualcomm and Intel have complementary chip-making business, it's unclear if Qualcomm would want all of Intel and very unlikely that Intel could split itself up in time for a deal. Though Intel is making moves to spin its Foundry business out as an independent subsidiary.	https://finance.yahoo.com/news/qualcomms-potential-intel-buyout-could-130252353.html
23			Following any iPhone launch is the iFixit teardown report. They have video of applying 12 volts for 60-seconds to the battery adhesive to release it for replacement. The adhesive stays good and you can bond the new battery by just pressing down. There's also some good info on the Camera Control button which is an actual button that moves along with a flex cable. If you want the whole teardown head to Ifixit.com. The other big moment after an iPhone release is DxOMark's ranking of the camera. The iPhone 16 Pro Max dips from last year's second place for the 15 to fourth place. The HonorPura 70 Ultra has the top spot followed by the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Honor Magic 6 Pro tied for second. The iPhone 16 Pro Max did clinch the highest score yet for video recording performance.	https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/22/24251327/iphone-16-teardown-repair-battery-adhesive

31		tm	Google TV Streamer, a new slim set-top box is now on sale for $100 replacing the Chromecast line. It's a flat wedge-looking thing, slightly bigger than your palm. Some of the features available on the box are also coming to the Google TV OS which runs on TVs from Hisense and others. Both the OS and the box have a home panel that lets you see and control all your smart home devices with the remote or by voice. Doorbell notifications can show up on the TV as well. An ambient screensaver can show photos and even let an algorithm create some from your own prompts. Google's Gemini Large Language Model will also create summaries for TV shows and movies, including audience reviews. And a sports tab comes to the For You section as well as a grid guide for the 150 FAST channels in TV Freeplay.

39		tm	OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, former Apple design head Jony Ive and Laurene Powell Jobs are starting a new hardware company centered around AI. Ive told the New York Times he's designing the device and Powell Jobs' Emerson Collective helping with funding. The company also has former iPhone and Apple Watch product design head Tang Tan and former Apple design head Evans Hankey on board. There's not a lot of other detail about what the product might be. Ive said some things about generative models making it easier to do complicated things that traditional software can't. Ive's design company LoveFrom's cofounder Marc Newsom said the product is still being figured out.	https://www.yahoo.com/tech/sam-altman-former-apple-executives-125500892.html

53		tm	Nate, you recently started a hobby of making subtitles for lost media, foreign language TV shows. And more interestingly you found a way to automate the subtitling process? How's that work?

68			Hey everyone, I just got the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation on Friday and just had a chance to test them out doing a Costco run - coincidentally, listening to Friday’s DTNS episode. Firstly, the most impressive thing is that the noise cancellation works even without audio being played. I had them in my ears in the car beforehand, turned on the noise cancellation, and I could barely hear the engine running. In Costco, I was able to hear the podcast incredibly clearly and without all of the background noise. All said, I am incredibly happy with my purchase - quite the upgrade from the first generation I had. Also, Friday’s GDI was one of the best ever. Fish or nuts? -Derek

70			Hi DTNS crew, I will usually listen to DTNS while driving my 9 year old son to his music lessons. It’s a bit of a drive, so he will have iPad time in the car and I am able to catch up on my podcasts. But! We recently starting listening to the episode about invisible mice, and he started commenting about how he watched a YouTube video about this topic. He got so invested in the episode that he made me promise to not listen to the rest without him. So, now I am getting further and further behind on DTNS since his lessons are only twice a week. The horror! Thanks for all your great content, and for providing a great source of information and entertainment. Jennifer
