Site News
Last week I switched the site font to Open Sans. I wanted to make the site easier to read across platforms and operating systems. I think it looks better too.
Open Sans is a free Google Font. As of this writing there are over 1700 FREE fonts/font variants. Many of them are awesome. Here are some download links if you’re interested.
Google Fonts (main page)
Google Fonts (github) (has download all link)
Download all Google Fonts: https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/master.zip
Open Sans

I downloaded all, extracted, then searched that folder for ttf fonts ( *.ttf ).
Then I copied them to a separate folder and installed the ones I liked.

win10_logoWhy TH2 Was Pulled
Betanews reports TH2 was pulled because of a bug where “Some settings may not have been retained when applying the November update“. In the KB Microsoft mentions that “a few settings preferences may have inadvertently not been retained for advertising ID, Background apps, SmartScreen Filter, and Sync with devices.” It was and is way more settings than that but whatever.
