Tuesday Random Stuff…

March 14, 2017, 09:59(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

It’s Patch Tuesday so look for another post this afternoon.

Win10 Ads
Everyone is pissed off that Microsoft is putting ads in Windows. IMHO it is just the latest fiasco surrounding Win10.

CCleaner Monthly Update
Version 5.28 released.
Download
Version History

Finally
Verizon managed to finally push out Android Nougat to my Galaxy S7.
The update also put in the most recent security updates (Feb. 1) which is all I really cared about.
The update broke LED notifications and I had to do a full reset to get them to work.

New Bike
Last year I had mentioned I was looking for a hybrid bike. Several of you emailed some good suggestions.
I recently bought a Cannondale Quick 3 Disc on sale for $749 at a local bike shop.
I put a phone holder, two water bottle cages, and a rear bike rack on it.  I have 2 CamelBak Podium Big Chill Insulated Water Bottles. I also got a 529 Garage Bicycle Registration Kit to help recover the bike if it is stolen.
I look forward to putting some serious miles on it once the weather breaks.

      Thanks. See a lot of those posted. I wonder who was the first to show how to do that?

    MS did it again … and tries to do some damage control. Read this if the latest PT messed up your ‘device’ as MS puts it.
