Meta's Horizon Worlds Stays Alive Against The Odds

This Week in Tech 1076: I'm Monitoring the Situation

This week Germany's going ODF, the guys remember what used to be before SystemD ate the world, and Google has finally revealed what the unverified install flow will look like. There's a Blender update, Manjaro may be cooked, and there's finally a decent browser for Linux Arm. For tips we have Oh My Posh for ricing your terminal, Midnight Commander, Memos, and ClamAV. The show notes are available at <a href="https://bit.ly/47cvQ5g" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/47cvQ5g</a> and Happy Linuxing!

Switching Webcams Between Windows and Mac

Hands-On Tech 259: Using a Webcam on Windows & macOS

We've waited, and we've waited, and it looks like Artemis 2 might be ready to go in early April! It's moved back to the launch pad, LC-39B, and will begin preparations for a launch as early as April 1. There will be no wet-dress rehearsal this time — associate administrator Lori Glaze said in a recent press conference that once they fuel successfully, she just wants to go to launch. The crew of Artemis 2 will soon arrive at KSC for pre-launch quarantine, as will Tariq, who will be covering the launch. We invited Mike Wall, the spaceflight and tech editor at Space.com, back to the show to bring us up to date on all the latest Artemis news.

<li>Blue Origin and NASA Team Up to Hunt Earth-Threatening Asteroids</li>
