Tips and picks

Tip of the week: Jump on the “no passwords” train

Microsoft already lets its customers sign in everywhere without ever typing a password. Here’s how to do so.

Bonus tip: Get a Surface Duo from BuyDig for just $700. But seriously, don’t.

App pick of the week: Call of Duty Mobile

I’m not sure what took me so long, but I finally tried Call of Duty Mobile on an iPad Air with an Xbox Wireless Controller. And. Oh. My. God.

Enterprise pick of the week: Bye, bye Azure Blockchain

Azure Blockchain as a Service is going to be discontinued in September. If a blockchain falls in the forest and no one hears it, did it really exist?

Codename pick of the week: Santorini

Windows Lite was the original codename for 10X. But then many of us began calling it Santorini. I *think* Santorini technically may have been the codename for the shell for 10X on top of WCOS.

Beer pick of the week: Deciduous Lollipop Forest

Deciduous Brewing in Newmarket, N.H., makes a lot of great styles of beer. They have a line called Lollipop Forest that are fruited sours with milk sugar (so they’re not TOO sour). I had the Blueberry, Blackberry, Guava, Plum version recently and it was really good. Tart but fruity. Not too high in ABV. Still tastes like a (sour) beer.
