Wednesday Random Stuff…

June 20, 2018, 17:04(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I was gonna say something about we made it through mid-week.
Then I thought about hump day.
Then I thought about the hump day camel.
And now I can’t get that stupid camel out of my mind.

You’re welcome.

This one might make you feel better.

Software Releases
Acronis True Image 2018 Update 4 (build 12510)
Rufus 3.1
YUMI 2.0.5.7

Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

Consumer Group Claims Win10 Problems ‘Widespread’
The 12 year old me wants to say, “No Sh** Sherlock. You’ve just deduced this?”

Is Microsoft already killing off Windows 7?
Several of the people at Computerworld are rightfully hard on Microsoft. IMHO Microsoft started actively trying to kill off Windows 7 with the GWX fiasco.

Star Trek reboot with Patrick Stewart as Picard tipped at CBS
Yesssssssssss!

Amazon’s Alexa will now butler at Marriott hotels
You put that crap in my room and I will put it in the microwave. On high.

This AI program could beat you in an argument—but it doesn’t know what it’s saying
I would like to put this thing up against some of my old girlfriends. You have to be able to get a word in now and then to win an argument.

Ryanair Wants to Ban Morning Drinking in Airports
Ryanair is an Irish budget airline.
I am 1/4 Irish and lover of Irish beer and whiskey, (see, stereotypes become stereotypes for a reason).
Trying to deny an Irishman a proper pint at any time of day is the most un-Irish thing I’ve ever heard of. Next they’ll be calling for a ban on fighting, football, and having a go at the lasses. Glad my Daideo isn’t around for these shenanigans!

    Quake Champions is free till the 25th and you get to keep it as long as you get it by the 25th.

    You made me smile twice today.
    First time, any Geico commercial is good for a laugh, but this camel hump day one is a keeper.
    And the second smile… in this world of doom and gloom, it would be wonderful to leave for an hour each week to watch and listen to Picard’s adventures exploring new worlds and going where no one has gone before. “Engage!” Thanks Eric.
