19		sl	Samsung announced it will no longer pre-install the Samsung Messages app on Galaxy devices, encouraging users to use Google Messages. Google Messages has been the default since 2022, but the Samsung Messages app was still installed as an alternative. For now, Samsung Messages is still available to download in the Galaxy Store.	https://9to5google.com/2024/07/20/samsung-google-messages-no-longer-pre-installing/
20		tm	The UK's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children charity says Apple reports far fewer cases to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children last year than other tech companies. Companies are required to pass along any possible cases to the NCMEC. The charity says Apple reported 267 cases, while Google reported 1.47 million and Meta reported 30.6 million. TikTok, X, Snapchat, Xbox, and PlayStation also are said to have reported more cases. Apple's messages are end-to-end encrypted, as are WhatsApp. WhatsApp alone is said to have reported 1.4 million cases in 2023. Apple developed a plan in 2021 to scan images before upload but canceled the program after concerns from privacy and digital rights advocates.	https://www.engadget.com/apple-accused-of-underreporting-suspected-csam-on-its-platforms-153637726.html
21		sl	Reddit has reached deals with major sports leagues like the NFL, NBA and MLB to show game highlights and behind-the-scenes videos as well as host AskMe Anything sessions with players. The Information's sources say in exchange, the leagues get a share of advertising revenue Reddit generates from the content. Twitter had a similar deal which ended in 2022.	https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/22/24203528/reddit-nba-nfl-highlights-sports-leagues-ads-deal
22		tm	Reuters reports that Nvidia is modifying a version of its Blackwell chip so it can be exported to China without violating US export restrictions. Right now, the chip is being referred to as the B20. Nvidia is reportedly working with China's Inspire to launch the chip. Nvidia makes a lot of revenue selling chips to Chinese companies, so it keeps pushing to figure out how to do that without breaking US rules. The US keeps tweaking its rules to stop Chinese companies from getting more powerful AI chips.	https://www.pcmag.com/news/nvidia-making-new-version-blackwell-ai-chip-china-report
23		sl	Android Authority notes in the latest Android 15 beta 4 there are strings referencing satellite connectivity called Pixel Satellite SOS. This implies that users of some Pixel models, most likely the forthcoming Pixel 9, might get free Satellite emergency service. The string reads, "To use Satellite SOS, Google Messages must be your default SMS app. Satellite SOS is included at no charge for {two} years." With the two being in brackets, meaning it might be a placeholder. The Google Pixel announcement is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13.	https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-satellite-sos-free-apk-teardown-3462798/

26	:05		SEGMENT A - BIG NEWS
27		tm	Delta airlines is one of the companies still feeling the effects of the Crowdstrike bug that caused many corporate machines to boot into recovery mode and stay there before a fix was applied. We still don't have a full explanation of how this bug slipped through testing but here's some follow-ups since we covered it on Friday.	https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/delta-cancels-another-600-flights-monday-wake-cyber-outage-2024-07-22/
28			Microsoft posted Saturday that less than 1% of Windows machines were affected by the bug. That's still 8.5 million machines. And A Microsoft spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that a European Commission decision in 2009 requires them to give security companies the same level of access to the kernel that Microsoft gives its own Windows Defender product.	https://www.wsj.com/tech/cybersecurity/microsoft-tech-outage-role-crowdstrike-50917b90?st=pkas1bzrhcoj0os&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
29			Paul Thurott had a well-crafted piece pointing out that it's not actually A Blue Screen of Death it's a Blue Recovery screen	https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/305830/crowdstrike-outage-has-roots-in-microsofts-antitrust-problems
30			A lot is being made of the fact that a large part of Southwest Airlines reservations system still uses Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and therefore wasn't subject to the Crowdstrike bug.	https://www.yahoo.com/tech/windows-version-1992-saving-southwest-171922788.html
31			Microsoft released a recovery tool you a put on a USB drive to boot Ito and automatically repair the bug.	https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/21/24202883/microsoft-recovery-tool-windows-crowdstrike-issue-it-admins
32			In April a Crowdstrike update caused Debian servers to crash and fail to reboot. And if you ran Crowdstrike and upgraded to Rocky Linux 9.4 in May you might find your serve crashed because of a kernel bug.	https://www.neowin.net/news/crowdstrike-broke-debian-and-rocky-linux-months-ago-but-no-one-noticed/

38		sl	Asus launched its portable gaming device ROG Ally just over a year ago, and its successsor, the ROG Ally X, ships today for $800. The X comes wtih a 7-inch, 120 hertz, 1080p display. Plus it has 24GB of memory and 1TB of user-upgradeable N-V-Me storage. ASUS's Armory Crate SE software is the primary game launcher and hub for all installed games from platforms like Steam and Epic Game Store. Users can also adjust joystick LEDs and gamepad profiles.	https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/21/the-asus-rog-ally-x-turns-pc-gaming-into-a-portable-console/

41		sl	Those who had early units and published their reviews have some good and bad things to say about the ROG Ally X. PROS include: -Comfortable to hold - The 1 TB of storage is double that of the ROG Ally -Games run smoothly -80Wh battery life is better than the ROG Ally (though still not "great") - Now has 2 USB-C ports - one is USB 4 and compatible with Thunderbolt 4 devices CONS include: - Armory Crate SE software game launcher and Command Center are just OK, a little buggy - D-pad is "mushy" and view and menu buttons are hard to reach. No touchpad makes it hard to take advantage of having full Windows. - Have to make framerate compromise for AAA games - Pricey by comparison to other portables
42			NOTES: Trisha has a Z1 Extreme v1 ASUS ROG Ally and loves it. She saw the Ally X at Computex but didn't get a chance to look at it in-depth. TechCrunch: "the ROG Ally X feels like a good gaming companion for long travel days or daily commutes on the metro. Despite its weight, I’ve had no issue immersing myself in games for several hours at a time."

66			Bob - "Regarding the deal that gives Verizon subscribers Netflix free for a year if they subscribe to Peacock for a year: My question/Comment is do you know if the deal is only for new comers to Netflix? ie. Must not have an account with Netflix to use this deal. That would really limit who could use it, but they’d still get a lot of publicity for offering a great deal. This may be obvious, but since that wasn’t mentioned I was wondering about it." Sarah, always love listening to you, Tom, etc. I go back to the TWITCottage days.	https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-offers-customers-netflix-and-peacock-annual-offer
