Weekend Random Stuff…

February 11, 2018, 09:38(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Sorry for the lack of updates. Worked 6 days a week for the last 4 weeks 🙁

VLC Updated
Version 3.0 is out. Lots of new features.
Downloads: 32-bit or 64-bit

Meltdown/Spectre Patches, Part 2
Intel release a new patch after they botched the patch. Head to AskWoody for the full scoop.

Official Emoji List
Yeah, I didn’t know there was such a thing either but it makes sense.
Apparently there were a bunch of new emojis released because someone somewhere gets their panties in a wad if they don’t look like them.

Criminy
That Equifax hack. Yup, the news just keeps getting worse. Nobody is gonna get blamed for it though.

Best Interviews Ever
Quincy Jones is a recording industry legend. He is 84 and seen-it-all. He knows the music legends, he knows where the bodies are buried. He even says he knows who killed Kennedy.
Anyone who has an older loved one knows that as the years advance the filters drop. Mr. Jones has done 2 recent interviews that are completely fascinating.
GQ – Quincy Jones Has a Story About That
Frank Sinatra. Michael Jackson. Ray Charles. Malcolm X. Elon Musk. Truman Capote. Buzz Aldrin. Prince. Tupac. Even Leni Riefenstahl. Quincy Jones has run with them all.
Vulture – In Conversation: Quincy Jones
In both music and manner, Quincy Jones has always registered — from afar, anyway — as smooth, sophisticated, and impeccably well-connected. (That’s what earning 28 Grammy awards and co-producing Michael Jackson’s biggest-selling albums will do.) But in person, the 84-year-old music-industry macher is far spikier and more complicated. “All I’ve ever done is tell the truth,” says Jones, seated on a couch in his palatial Bel Air home, and about to dish some outrageous gossip. “I’ve got nothing to be scared of, man.”

Solo
Ron Howard: A Star Wars Story — Why the Oscar-winner joined Solo in its time of upheaval
“And I really have enjoyed it,” Howard says. “It’s a fun tone. And of course, with the Kasdans writing it and it being a young Han Solo movie, there’s this swagger, and there’s this sense of humor and this kind of youthful emotion and intensity.”
