Thursday Morning Random Stuff…

www_newsBecause It Made No Sense
Microsoft is removing the Win10 Wi-Fi Sense feature.
“We have removed the Wi-Fi Sense feature that allows you to share Wi-Fi networks with your contacts and to be automatically connected to networks shared by your contacts. The cost of updating the code to keep this feature working combined with low usage and low demand made this not worth further investment.”
I had showed how to disable it here. There was “low usage and low demand” because folks thought it was a: a security risk, a privacy risk, useless on a desktop.

Software Updates
Google Chrome 50.0.2661.102. Download
EMDB 2.52

Once Bitten Twice Shy, err, Twice Bitten…
