Email woes gotcha worried? How to fix problems and fend off attacks
Email is one of those tools people keep saying will one day die and be replaced with a better communication platform. And yet, because it is nearly universal and works across platforms so well, it’s still here.
But working across platforms is not the same as working well for everyone all the time. I’ve seen a lot of concern about the rising number of email-based attacks and a lot of complaints from people having email trouble in general — with many blaming Outlook or some other client for recent problems.
In fact, the underlying cause might be more straightforward: ISPs have been moving to more modern authentication processes (to fend off attacks) and some email clients can’t handle the changes. Case in point: Microsoft, which is slowly but surely disabling basic authentication and moving to better levels of protection. (If your mail platform still uses basic authentication, attackers are almost certainly trying to crack your passwords with password spraying and harvested credentials.)

Extended reality — where we are, what’s missing, and the problems ahead
Disclosure: Qualcomm, Microsoft, HP and Lenovo are clients of the author.
Qualcomm this week offered up a comprehensive presentation on where it is with mixed reality (MR). This matters because Qualcomm is the key technology provider for untethered MR solutions. To date, MR has seen success in business for training, manufacturing, and repair — particularly in areas like aerospace, where Microsoft’s HoloLens AR has been widely adopted.
Meta is the leader on the consumer side of the market, but is struggling with the typical problem of price point vs. capability, which has fallen short because Meta’s bar is too low and expectations too high. (It’s coming out with a better option soon that could close that gap if the market buys the higher price point.)
Problems Delay Launch of NASA’s SLS Rocket – Again
But instead on Saturday morning, “NASA scrubbed its second attempt to launch the Artemis I mission into lunar orbit…” reports CNET. “During a press conference later in the day, Jim Free, an associate administrator at NASA Headquarters, said we shouldn’t expect to see a third attempt within this launch period, which culminates Tuesday.” (Though the mission manager the next launch attempt could be as late as mid-October.)
“This time, the culprit was a liquid hydrogen leak that showed up while the team was loading the rocket’s core stage….”
According to the space agency, the leak occurred “while loading the propellant into the core stage of the Space Launch System rocket” and that “multiple troubleshooting efforts to address the area of the leak, by reseating a seal in the quick disconnect where liquid hydrogen is fed into the rocket, did not fix the issue.”
This is the second time the Artemis I mission has been delayed. Liftoff attempt No. 1 was scheduled for Monday, but launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson had to call a scrub then as well, because of an unyielding problem with what’s known as an engine bleed test. (This process is meant to allow the engines to chill to the right temperature by releasing a small amount of the fuel).
“We were unable to get the engines within the thermal conditions required to commit to launch,” Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin said during a press conference on Tuesday. “In combination with that, we also had a bent valve issue on the core stage, and it was at that point that the team decided to knock off the launch attempt for that day.”
