The Hubble Space Telescope has been one of NASA's most successful flagship missions, recently celebrating 35 years in space. Often referred to as "the gift that keeps giving," the HST has provided not just magnificent science—shared worldwide—but also some of our universe's most significant and stunning images, inspiring wonder and driving countless young people into the sciences and STEM fields in general. And for the general public, Hubble continues to provide a profound sense of the wonders of the universe and our place in it. We are joined this week by Dr. John Grunsfeld, who flew five times on the space shuttle and spent over 50 hours on Hubble servicing missions to keep those incredible images coming. Join us for a fascinating deep dive into this magnificent project.

Mikah Sargent takes viewers on a comprehensive tour of the Passwords app in macOS Sequoia, demonstrating how this robust tool serves as a complete credential management system. From passkeys to verification codes and shared passwords, Mikah explores how Apple has created a secure yet user-friendly solution for managing all your login information across devices.
Passkeys - These are created automatically when you set up passkey authentication on websites, with limited editing options but the ability to add notes or modify the associated website.
Verification codes - Users can add two-factor authentication codes either by entering setup keys manually or scanning QR codes.
Wi-Fi - The app stores Wi-Fi network credentials, displays network security information (WPA2/WPA3), and lets users generate QR codes for easy sharing.
Security recommendations - The app alerts users when passwords may be compromised in data breaches using Apple's differential privacy techniques that protect user privacy.
Password sharing feature - Users can create groups to share specific login credentials with family members or others, with granular control over which passwords are shared.
Password importing - The app supports importing passwords from CSV files, though Mikah strongly recommends deleting these files immediately after import for security.
Cross-device synchronization - All passwords sync across Apple devices with end-to-end encryption via iCloud.
Windows compatibility - Even Windows users can access their passwords through the iCloud Passwords app, making it a versatile solution.
