Hello bosses, old and new,

This IS the DTNS Monthly Update available to all backers.

Last month's guess the picture was a power board from a Mitsubishi DLP TV. The capacitor blew and a did a CNET video on replacing the capacitor. Nicholas LastName was the first to guess the board and brand and Gregg Hudson even nailed the fact that it was a blown capacitor.  Well done!

Now what is THIS week's picture?


TOM'S NOTE

Very excited for May, though I'll be gone for about half of it. I'm out from May 11-May 26, but Sarah and Roger will be holding down the fort, so no worries there.

ALSO the monthly round table will be a bit different, so those of you who hate change, brace yourselves for change. I will record the round table on Tuesday May 22 in Melbourne with Peter Wells and Raj Deut. It may not be streamed live. It will serve as the Monday May 21 episode since Australia is magical future land. Then on the western hemisphere's May 22 it will be back to normal.

To recap so you can prepare yourself

1. Round Table will come out on Monday not Fridau

2. Round table may not be streamed live.

3. There is no number three.


PATRON TOTALS FOR APRIL

We got 20 more patrons this month than last month!  That's three months in a row of patron growth. And as promised I'm going to meet a tarantula in celebration. Why not? Next month maybe I'll do the show on Linux or something. Who can say? Suggestions welcome.

Perhaps a Linux show with Kevin Brock. Sounds like maybe enough for 3 or 4 Labs episodes. I'm not a Linux user based on previous bad experiences with Ubuntu versions 7, 8, 9; DSLinux; and a few others (mostly video and printer driver issues), but I've turned on Hyper-V on my Windows 10 desktop and downloaded Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to give it a go.

@Craig Potts - Well thank you for the vote of confidence; however, being passionate isn't always enough to speak on a podcast; though maybe its how people get started with podcasting...who knows. Mainly, despite my own origin story with Linux which is rife with previous Windows ire at a snapshot of my life, I basically endorse its use in concert with other OSes. I love your Lab suggestion. Yes, Linux is perfect for a few Lab episodes for a few reasons: a) its not a mainstream topic which everyone will universally care about (or even want to hear about) b) it can be polarizing as the opinion's of the Geek runs deep in their interest areas (Gaming, General Computing, Security, Production, etc) c) Its not really news; although it can be d) it can be ideological to use desktop Linux personally but not always. Ultimately, the Lab format would give the subject matter a better showing because it allows the portion of listeners who are genuinely curious or inquisitive to broaden their understanding while allowing those who do not care to be broadened in that way to opt out. In my opinion, Linux is better received when you get to choose the red pill versus it being thrust upon you indirectly.
