new builds working good

Well, I installed the WordPress 4.6 and one of the following nightly builds, and it’s working great! No conflicts anywhere on my site…so good luck to the rest of you.

New, Trial version of website

The website currently has the “RC” version of the software installed…it’s the version after the Beta, but before the standard “tested” release. I do it for the developers, as they need people to test it before they can release it, so I test it. So if  you experience any issues with the site, please let me know. I believe the contact forms are working OK…but there is always chat if not. OK? Thanks for participating with me. I appreciate your patience and input if you have any…

Get Ready

WordPress 4.6 Beta Release went out just now…which means the public release will be right behind it soon…so get your backups done, databases, themes, etc…and get ready for the update to come out so you will be ready when it gets here. They sure move fast, don’t they? 🙂

Microsoft didn’t even wait for July 29th to charge…

This article indicates that MS won’t supposedly try to charge regular users for Windows 10 SAS, only business enterprise, but I’m skeptical. They didn’t go to all that effort to FORCE installations of the supposedly “free” operating system, without a reason. But that’s the news that was released at a MS conference earlier this month. I find the article distasteful, but you can read it and form your own opinion.

Dell’s Security Software has Major Security Flaws

Apparently Dell security management software admins are being advised currenty to patch their systems after finding SIX (6) high-risk vulnerabilities, including hidden user accounts and backdoors! That’s right, one of the highest-rated “critical” flaws involves a hidden default account with an easily-guessable password in Dell’s “SONICWALL” Global Management System (GMS) …along with others. If you are using this software you will definitely want to read this article, and also watch for patches (or my recommendation, get something else to proctect your system and uninstall this crap, because backdoors don’t just “happen” on accident, they are deliberately written!)
