Meticulously structured, the book begins with the evolution and technical foundations of SMB, unraveling its design motivations, core mechanics, and the intricacies of packet structure, session management, and command semantics. Readers will develop a solid grasp of how SMB negotiates features, manages state, and achieves reliable, high-throughput communication across diverse network transports.The text comprehensively addresses the security landscape of SMB deployments, with chapters dedicated to modern authentication methods like NTLM and Kerberos, encryption and signing, access control, and attack surface reduction. Practical guidance in security hardening, vulnerability mitigation, and forensic analysis empower readers to design and maintain robust file sharing environments. The book bridges deep protocol internals with enterprise deployment scenarios, offering design patterns for standalone, clustered, and hybrid configurations, as well as cloud-native integrations with platforms like Azure Files and AWS FSx.Emphasizing real-world applicability, the book explores cross-platform interoperability, performance benchmarking, troubleshooting, and advanced deployment architectures suitable for datacenters, virtualization, and container ecosystems. The final sections look forward to future developments—covering quantum-resistant cryptography, integration with object storage, and innovative approaches like zero trust and machine learning–driven optimization.

    Would you rather have the real thing of a fake substitute? In this quick listen with easy to follow reasoning, Michael Faeth has set out to change the narrative around artificial intelligence. This isn't an anti-A.I. tirade; in fact the author outlines some very good uses for it. However, we need a change of perspective on what role A.I. can legitimately play in society and what the limitations are. 
     
    We are being primed to put our faith entirely into generative A.I., but why? The way the companies that are promoting it as the consummate solution to our needs is disconcerting and concerning to say the least. It is easy to see how companies promoting the use of A.I. could have ulterior motives. The good news is that we have choices: we can stop supporting products and services we dislike; we can choose to live in a way that is best for our own creativity, productivity, and intellect. We still have plenty of time to re-think if and how we want to use A.I personally and in society as a whole. 
     
    So, should we stop marveling at the works of Mozart, Stephen Hawking, Ella Fitzgerald, Picasso, Mary Oliver, da Vinci, or so many others who have enhanced our lives using their natural intelligence? Does every endeavor we undertake need to be delivered instantaneously and without human contemplation? Take your time to wonder, think, daydream, and create, and may human intelligence and creativity never be replaced by something artificial.

    A particular form of AI is now embedded in our tech, our infrastructure, and our lives. How did it get there? Where and why should we be concerned? And what should we do now? The Shortcut: Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us provides an accessible yet probing exposure of AI in its prevalent form today, proposing a new narrative to connect and make sense of events that have happened in the recent tumultuous past, and enabling us to think soberly about the road ahead. 
     
     
     
    This book is divided into ten carefully crafted and easily digestible chapters. Each chapter grapples with an important question for AI. Ranging from the scientific concepts that underpin the technology to wider implications for society, it develops a unified description using tools from different disciplines and avoiding unnecessary abstractions or words that end with -ism. The book uses real examples wherever possible, introducing the listener to the people who have created some of these technologies and to ideas shaping modern society that originate from the technical side of AI.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Hindenburg: Thirty-Second Inferno is a clear, human-centered chronicle of the most famous airship in history and the half-minute of fire that ended an era. Spanning twenty immersive chapters, it traces the zeppelin dream from its hopeful beginnings through the Hindenburg’s majestic construction, serene ocean crossings, and refined life aboard—promenades of glass, piano in the lounge, disciplined crews, and a floating world of quiet elegance. With steady, simple prose, it opens the doors of the hangars at Friedrichshafen, walks the reader along duralumin ribs and gas cells, and reveals the teamwork, rituals, and pride that held a giant ship safely in the sky. 
    The narrative narrows to May 6, 1937: the gray New Jersey evening, the slow turn over Lakehurst, the dropped mooring lines, and then the sudden bloom of flame that raced the length of the hull. The book stays close to witnesses and survivors—rescuers running into heat and smoke, passengers finding seconds of courage, and the trembling voice of the famous broadcast that carried grief into homes around the world. It follows the night’s rescue efforts, the solemn roll of names, and the first careful questions asked among wreckage still warm with rain and ash. 
    Beyond the shock, the book examines investigations and debates with calm clarity: hydrogen’s lift against its peril, helium’s safety against its scarcity, static and weather, leak and spark, and the humble truth that complex failures are chains, not single breaks. It shows how the disaster reshaped trust and practice—longer checklists, better materials, clearer cockpit authority—and how airplanes quietly inherited the future as airships slipped into memory.
