Tuesday Random Stuff…

August 27, 2019, 13:59(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Macrium Reflect 7.2.4440
Download | Release Notes
I’m uneasy about this one. Previous version pulled, and already complaints of a couple of issues in their forum. I’m gonna hold off on this.

Chrome 76.0.3809.132
“This update includes 3 security fixes.”
Download: 32-bit or 64-bit

AMD Radeon Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.8.2 Optional

Nvidia Geforce Game Ready WHQL Driver 436.15

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

Uh-oh: Silicon Valley is building a Chinese-style social credit system
“Many Westerners are disturbed by what they read about China’s social credit system. But such systems, it turns out, are not unique to China. A parallel system is developing in the United States, in part as the result of Silicon Valley and technology-industry user policies, and in part by surveillance of social media activity by private companies.”

The spy in your wallet: Credit cards have a privacy problem
“I recently used my credit card to buy a banana. Then I tried to figure out how my credit card let companies buy me.
You might think my 29-cent swipe at Target would be just between me and my bank. Heavens, no. My banana generated data that’s probably worth more than the banana itself. It ended up with marketers, Target, Amazon, Google and hedge funds, to name a few.
”

Verizon to enable spam call filtering by default on select Android phones
“Verizon says that calls from numbers that have been reported as fraudulent will be automatically blocked, while other numbers will generate a “potential spam” warning message on the incoming call screen. Calls from known contacts will be unaffected. Users also have the option of blocking all international calls if the only ones they receive are spam.”

Trailers

Hmmm, dunno about yet another streaming service,
