VIDEO: Hands On Windows – The New OneDrive App – OneDrive’s Secret Upgrade
As the TWiT podcast network host Paul Thurrott explains, Microsoft is rolling out an overhauled version of OneDrive. -
TWiT fans, it’s been too long!
I’ll be on the show this SUNDAY, NOV 2!
…although for me it’ll be ~5:00 a.m. Monday. At least I’m fun when I’m barely awake. You never know what I’ll say.

Throwback Thursday – June 26, 2025
While in San Francisco in 2018 for the Asian Lunar New Year Parade, I made a side trip up to Petaluma to visit the This Week in Tech (TWiT) studios. After catching that weeks recording of the TWiT podcast, I met the host, Leo Laporte, and sat on the set while talking with him.

Declaring Metapendence – Alternative Social Media Options
Last week, I made the decision to leave all Meta services, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. That doesn’t mean I’m leaving social media, just the corporate owned services. I already left Twitter thanks to it becoming a home for fascists, including its owner. Fortunately, there are plenty of options out there, starting with the Fediverse.
As Italian filmmaker and photographer Elena Rossini describes in her video Introducing the Fediverse, the Fediverse features a number of […]

This weekend featured an event that was last on my calendar when my schedule existed primarily in analog form: the HFStival, revived Saturday at Nats Park. I knew upfront that the venue would represent an immense upgrade over RFK, but I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate seeing the Postal Service play “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” for what they say is the last time–in the city that inspired the song.
9/16/2024: With Apple Finally Welcoming RCS, Google Voice Is the Lone Holdout, PCMag
I had this piece on my story-ideas list for months if not years, and Google was predictably disappointing in continuing to ignore its self-inflicted feature neglect.
9/17/2024: What the Reinstatement of Net Neutrality Means for Higher Education, EdTech
The piece that I wrote for EdTech’s sibling publication FedTech must have left a favorable impression on both newsrooms’ parent firm Manifest, as I had an editor ask I could write an explainer about the intersection of net neutrality politics and higher education.
9/18/2024: Microsoft: Russian Disinformation Ops Pivot to Attack Harris Campaign, PCMag
Seeing Russian disinformation operatives rack up two losses in the previous two weeks (and having almost finished reading Renée DiResta’s book Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality) added to my interest in writing up this Microsoft report.
9/20/2024: Boom Supersonic’s flight plan has to be measured in years, Fast Company
More than a month after my detour to California’s high desert to check out Boom Supersonic’s operation there–followed by my needing time to quiz a couple of aviation experts about the company’s ambitions–this piece finally made its way to Fast Co.’s site. In a few days, I will write a bonus post for Patreon readers sharing some of my leftover notes from talking to Boom CEO Blake Scholl for an hour and change on that Saturday morning.
9/20/2024: Rivian CEO: ‘Extreme Lack of Choice’ Is Hampering EV Sales Growth, PCMag
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe’s talk at the Atlantic Festival offered some useful insight about the state of electric-vehicle pricing, but he also repeated an incorrect characterization of a California zero-emission car mandate that does not, in fact, ban sales of cars with fossil-fuel engines after 2035.
9/22/2024: This Week in Tech 998: Artisanal Locally-Sourced Dopamine, TWiT.tv
Joining this podcast via Zoom instead of in studio reminded me of one unsolved issue with my home office’s lighting. From 6 p.m. onwards, there wasn’t enough light streaming through the windows to illuminate my workplace adequately, then I took too long to take advantage of a sponsor break to reach for a light switch as the podcast continued for another hour and change. I can, however, take credit for helping to give this episode a title–“artisanal, locally-sourced dopamine” was my turn of phrase to describe how posting on Bluesky feels better than continuing to support a toxic ex-Twitter with free writing.
9/23/2024: I updated the TWiT entry with a direct link to the episode and context about its title.

I prefer information spoken by humans, but if you're going to read a script in a plodding monotone, do both of us a favor and just have an AI read it at 2x speed. I find otherwise acceptable podcasters putting me to sleep when they include verbatim news reports or changelogs in their scripts.

Well then! It looks like I am going to be a guest on @leo 's new ad hoc style shows sometime next week.
Who's ready to completely geek out on coffee and espresso, live, on TWiT?

I'm don't always watch as many podcasts as I would like to, but I try to stay subscribed to Club Twit when it's feasible to do so because I first saw The Screensavers in college, and I've loved it since. I remember when Revenge of the Screen Savers first dropped, and I was hooked. I'm just one person in Massachusetts but the network has been a lot to me. :) #clubtwit #thisweekintech

Weekly output: Symbotic, Most Innovative Companies in robotics, Redwood Materials, Most Innovative Companies in manufacturing, Matter security label, SpaceX and Starship, AT&T and AST SpaceMobile, Android 15, Waymo, This Week in Tech
If you’ve been wondering why it’s been so long since I last had a byline with Fast Company, here’s your answer: I’ve spent a non-trivial part of the last three months helping to put together the robotics and manufacturing parts of the publication’s Most Innovative Companies list.
(In my nonexistent spare time, I also wrote a post for Patreon readers about my roadmap to getting our house off the methane gas grid–starting with the appliance that represents the smallest part of that fossil-fuel problem.)
3/19/2024: How Symbotic is speeding up warehouse robots, even in the dark, Fast Company
This piece profiles one of the finalists in the MIC robotics category–a warehouse-robot developer whose customers include Target and Walmart, and which the editors ranked number 34 among the 50 most innovative firms in the world.
3/19/2024: The most innovative companies in robotics for 2024, Fast Company
In addition to Symbotic, Doodle Labs, Agility Robotics, Locus Robotics, Dusty Robotics, Gecko Robotics, Nearthlab, Opentrons, Stratom, and Teleo earned MIC nods and brief writeups from me.
3/19/2024: Here’s how Redwood Materials is creating a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries, Fast Company
Here, I took a closer look at the company that ranked 19th among the top 50, a startup moving to scale up EV battery recycling with some help from the government.
3/19/2024: The most innovative companies in manufacturing for 2024, Fast Company
Our other MIC nominees in this category: Group14 Technologies, Holcim (written by another Fast Co. contributor, Ted C. Fishman), Mighty Buildings, Formlabs, Nucor, Cellares, Doosan Bobcat, Pyrowave, and Timken.
3/19/2024: Watch Out for This Blue Badge on the Next Smart Home Device You Buy, PCMag
The organization behind the Matter connected-gadget standard are now moving to sync up their security efforts with government labeling programs.
3/19/2024: SpaceX Expects Next Starship Launch in About 6 Weeks, PCMag
SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell shared some news about the progress of the company’s Starship project and Starlink efforts during a panel at the Satellite 2024 show in D.C.
3/22/2024: AT&T, AST SpaceMobile Promise ‘True Broadband’ From Satellite Phone Service, PCMag
I filed a second piece from Satellite about AT&T’s plans to fill in dead zones using an upcoming constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites operated by its partner AST SpaceMobile.
3/22/2024: Android 15’s Second Developer Preview Augments Satellite Roaming, PCMag
Space-based broadband showed up in my coverage a third time when Google announced a new set of features coming to the next version of Android that include software to report when your phone has switched to a satellite connection.
3/22/2024: Waymo Wants You to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Robotaxi, PCMag
Thursday, I had to rush from Satellite to a Waymo event–a good use case not for a driverless car but for a bikeshare ride–to catch a panel about road safety that I found unintentionally revealing.
3/24/2024: This Week in Tech 972: Judicial Whimsy, TWiT.tv
I showed up at this podcast for the first time since August and joined host Leo Laporte and two people whose expertise I’ve leaned on before in my stories–game developer and activist Brianna Wu and lawyer Cathy Gellis–to talk about the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple, whether the government should ban business transactions with TikTok, Supreme Court cases involving social-media content moderation, and other recent tech-policy topics.

I don't even get past the first ad break on the most recent episode of #thisweekintech and I've already heard that only market-based crypto solutions can stop global warming, and that the #VisionPro will be an emotional revolution.
This show is quickly feeling like everything bad about tech reporting.

Listening to #thisweekintech and right away a guest says “Yeah, the Boring Company is actually a pretty interesting idea”.
:ablobstare:
I get it, it’s 2.5 hrs of tech pundits doing hot takes that almost universally age like milk, but imagine supporting The Boring Company in 2023, Jesus Christ.

The #ThisWeekInTech #Podcast hosts don't seem to understand that #Bluesky is still in Beta and that Servers cost money.
It always takes awhile for new #SocialMedia services & sites to take off due to the loads, so don't dismiss them just yet.

@TWiT Loved the discussion on #ThisWeekInTech 930! I get more insight into #Mastodon from your network than from anything else, thank you!

@caseynewton @leo I think it would be worth your time to watch Connie's explanation on the current episode of #ThisWeekInTech

I am re-upping my 3min YT video because #ThisWeekInTech is about to start at 2:15pm PST & I REALLY want to hear your thoughts. @leo tries to minimize the amount of talk about #politics on the show. But I genuinely believe the #ClassifiedDocuments hub bub is a #TECH issue. So here I go again.
