Thursday Morning Random Stuff…

September 27, 2018, 07:34(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

FYI, I’m running Windows 10 October 2018 Update / 1809. So far everything seems to be OK. As with every other major update I had to reinstall SoundBlaster drivers.

AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition Optional 18.9.3
Support for Assassin’s Creed and Forza Horizon 4.

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

Product updates based on your feedback
“We’ve heard—and appreciate—your feedback. We’re going to make a few updates in the next release of Chrome (Version 70, released mid-October) to better communicate our changes and offer more control over the experience…While we think sign-in consistency will help many of our users, we’re adding a control that allows users to turn off linking web-based sign-in with browser-based sign-in—that way users have more control over their experience. For users that disable this feature, signing into a Google website will not sign them into Chrome.”
Condensed version, you’ll bee able to disable the universal sign in.

Almost Every Major Free VPN Service is a Glorified Data Farm
“While many VPN service providers would want you to believe that they have charitable aims in offering VPN access for free, the reality is that most free VPN services are glorified data farms. I will know because I specialize in testing and reviewing VPNs. In a recent study my organization conducted, analyzing the most popular free VPN services, we discovered that pretty much every popular free VPN service is a glorified data farm or abuse access to user’s data and resources in some form. Hotspot Shield, in particular, is a major culprit.”
I use TorGuard. Use coupon code TweakHound for 50% Off for Life.

Has anyone found a charity like the one JJ Watt set up for Houston?

    Do you clean install or just update for these major releases?
