Thursday Random Stuff…

Busy lately, quick update.

Win10 Updates
All supported Win10 versions have had updates in the last week or so.
“This update includes quality improvements.”
No time to get in to it today. For info start here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4464619

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

Introducing auto-delete controls for your Location History and activity data
You can already use your Google Account to access simple on/off controls for Location History and Web & App Activity, and if you choose—to delete all or part of that data manually. In addition to these options, we’re announcing auto-delete controls that make it even easier to manage your data…Choose a time limit for how long you want your activity data to be saved—3 or 18 months—and any data older than that will be automatically deleted from your account on an ongoing basis. These controls are coming first to Location History and Web & App Activity and will roll out in the coming weeks.
Well, that is an unexpected pleasant surprise!
