Thursday Random Stuff…

September 29, 2016, 15:47(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Must Read: Online Trackers Follow Our Digital Shadow By ‘Fingerprinting’ Browsers, Devices
Not kidding. This is a must read. Read it twice, pass it along.
FYI – I use Privacy Badger as mentioned in the article.

Google Chrome 53.0.2785.143
“The stable channel has been updated to 53.0.2785.143 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This will roll out over the coming days/weeks… This update includes 3 security fixes.”
Download

7-Zip 16.03
7-Zip is a free file archiver with a high compression ratio.
What’s new after 7-Zip 16.02:
– Installer and SFX modules now use some protection against DLL preloading attack.
– Some bugs were fixed in 7z, NSIS, SquashFS and RAR5 code.
Download and info (be sure to download the right one x86/x64)

MediaMonkey 4.1.14.1813
MediaMonkey is a free media player / organizer. Kinda like iTunes but better and it supports many devices.
Download & Release info

Etc.
HP apologises for lack of communication over ‘timebomb’ software update
Westworld series? I remember watching the rerun of the 1973 movie many years ago.
