Installer

The full encryption work is complete in the backend - distinst, but requires testing to ensure it’s ready to…launch.

That’s all for this week. A lot of work is ongoing, and the team has been very productive. We’ll have more next week.

Speaking of launching, we’ll leave you with a group picture of all of us watching the Falcon Heavy launch by SpaceX. An incredible achievement on the first try. The two booster rockets landing back on their launch pads was an unforgettable movement.

That’s the news this past week, see you next time! Same Pop! Time and same Pop! channel!
