The Morning After: Weekend Edition

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Welcome to the weekend. Along with our highlights from the past week, we have good news for fans of The Expanse and a look at Alexa's big mistake.

It's official.'The Expanse' will continue on Amazon Prime

During a Friday night panel at the National Space Society Amazon chief Jeff Bezos revealed The Expanse would continue as a Prime Original. Season three is still airing on Syfy, but after the cable network decided to cancel the series Amazon has stepped in "for the coming seasons."

But don't expect a new console before 2020Sony says it's the beginning of the end for PS4

The PS4 era is entering its final stages.

It does also suggest a new console might be on its way -- likely the PS5 -- but Kodera didn't give away any specifics. It's likely to be a few years off, still. In the same briefing, Kodera noted that Fortnite, despite its status as a free-to-play game, is paying dividends for the game console, with enough in-game purchases and downloads to make a tangible effect on PSN revenue. That's how they get you.

They also show that Apple quietly reinforced the part of the logic board later associated with "touch disease" with underfill in May 2016, over a year after the model launched.

Bad PasswordThe bogus expert and social media chicanery of DC's top cyber think tank

The cyber snake oil salesman is a permanent fixture of the information security industry, much to the chagrin of those working in the trenches and seeing through the charades.
