Winamp
I’ve always loved Winamp and it’s pretty much been my main Windows music player since the late 90’s.

google chrome

v81.0.4044.122 “This update includes 8 security fixes”
Download | Release Info
Chrome for Android updated too. The Chrome Android team can’t be bothered with release notes or info so we get, “You can see a full list of the changes in the Git log.“.
Check it out, it’s a real page turner that is full of such enlightening info as,
“Flush the output file after writing if it was mapped into memory.
This avoids an interesting bug in Windows as per the code comment.
”
or
“Move unmapping of large pages out of the spin-lock in PartitionAlloc
Instead of unmapping directly, Free() returns DeferredUnmap that needs
to be run after releasing the lock.
”
Keep working that nerd stereotype boys, I’m sure those Silicon Valley chicks dig it.

Firefox Stop Video Autoplay

October 28, 2018, 09:37(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

The settings for stopping video autoplay in Firefox changed recently. Since I keep my sound off until needed I didn’t notice until this morning. A search turned up the following thread at Mozilla’s forums that corrected the issue for me (at least temporarily):
Block video autoplay not working

“hi, in firefox 63 the autoplay preferences are reorganized in preparation for this feature shipping out of the box in one of the upcoming versions. in about:config you can set media.autoplay.default to 1 in order to block automatic playback on all pages or set it to 2 to decide on a per domain basis.”
