Wednesday Morning Random Stuff…

CCleaner

October 16, 2019, 09:48(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

CCleaner 5.63
“Users on versions v5.57 through to v5.62 have been automatically updated to the new version to take advantage of its enhanced security and improved performance. Users will not notice any change to any of their product settings and can continue to use it as normal. Minor UI changes and bug fixes”
Download (I use portable) | Release Announcement | Forum Announcement

VirtualBox 6.0.14
“This is a maintenance release.”
Download | Changelog

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

Humans will not ‘migrate’ to other planets, Nobel winner says
“Humans will never migrate to a planet outside of Earth’s solar system because it would take far too long to get there…”We are talking about hundreds of millions of days using the means we have available today. We must take care of our planet, it is very beautiful and still absolutely liveable.””
I feel like we already know that?

Taco Bell recalls 2.3 million pounds of seasoned beef from restaurants in 21 states
On Monday, the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced some of Taco Bell’s seasoned beef products sent to restaurants nationwide have been recalled because they “may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically metal shavings.”
Ha! For it to be a risk they would have to put beef in their food first. The Taco Bell’s around here barely put a trace amount in the tacos.
