What can I say except..."Thank goodness for WB and WSX." To see it is not to love it...check it out at the external link.  

I was mousing around and found the article linked above. Hope it helps...

I've been reading about this upcoming October update to W10. It won't be especially huge, just the same, 10 or so Gigs might give someone a problem of an incomplete download. This is a very useful tool for the upcoming W10 October update. You may need this if the above occurs: Windows will not tell you this is happening and Windows might get borked.

Saw this and it really bothered me, although by this time it really shouldn't have. At any rate, store your bookmarked sites on your desktop (use the export function under bookmarks), just in case MS decides to uninstall your Chrome and/or Fire Fox.   Source: www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17850146/microsoft-windows-10-chrome-firefox-warning    

Martin Brinkmann posted this on gHacks and I thought folks might be interested in doing it. Source: See external link.      

Was at gHacks and saw this...For you customized (and who here isn't?), this just to warn you Stylish Doesn't seem to have changed much...    

Read this on a few sources and figured you'd want to know. https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/13/google-may-track-your-location-even-if-you-disable-location-tracking/?_m=3n%2e0038%2e2193%2ehj0ao01hy5%2e2acb    

  I was perusing ghacks when I found this article. Since so many of us use the app, I thought you should read Martin Brinkmann's advice.   Source: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/01/ccleaner-5-45-dont-install/?_m=3n%2e0038%2e2188%2ehj0ao01hy5%2e2a5x    

Was cruising the net and found this unhappy piece of news...Chrome's always been a RAM pig, but this? Ridiculous. Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/07/14/google-chrome-ram-memory-consumption-spectre-security-upgrade-windows-mac-linux-chromeos/#3cb8f1e17777

Was going through my ridiculous email and came across this...which is not so ridiculous.     The second tool is portable...a definite plus for those of us with computer illiterate family...the ones who call at 9 p.m. with "HELP! My computer doesn't work!" So enjoy...hope this helps.   Source: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-free-tools-fix-problem-windows-10/    

I don't know this from personal experience, but Martin Brinkmann tends to know what he's talking about, and he did the update... You should read the article linked and, if possible, defer this update. He describes a method for W10 Home, as well, using the metered charge option.

A friend and contributor on WC asked me to clear up a question for him: "If possible please do a post about the difference between UHD and 4K resolutions. We are few here a little confused about this subject and no one is better than you making clear the things." I'll do my best to clear things up...but I don't generally succeed in doing that (lol).   From the linked article: "The term “4K” originally derives from the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a consort...

  Hey folks...saw this and am now sitting opposite the TV armed to the teeth, and stationed a sentry on the washer-dryer. Google and Nest are now reuniting and pushing for AI on all your gadgets. Good luck with that...soon we'll all be "The Truman Show". Anyway, I've moved to Israel and have developed an arthritis so, soon I'll be starting a biologic treatment for it...hope it works. Thanks for the note, Daiwa...it was much appreciated.   Sources: https://www.usat...

  If you're getting error 80248015 when updating Windows 7, and if you're seeing: "A check for updates returns the error message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running.

  I was cruising around and found this not-so-new item, but one which does not portend well. Not about net neutrality which looks like it's moribund, no, this one is about Russia having plans for an alternate internet involving China, Brazil, India and South Africa. This is allegedly to insure everyone involved against NSA hacking. Sometimes you have to laugh from irony, though. "Brazil is set to finalize a 34,000-kilometre undersea fiber-optic cable by 2015 that will run from ...
