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…

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.

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!)

ONE Microsoft update today… One “IMPORTANT” update. Which one? Guess! KB3035583 . I have it memorized by now…I keep HIDING IT, and Microsoft UNHIDES it, and is still trying to force me to upgrade from Windows 7 so they can FORCE me to purchase all their junk I now get for free. Wow…they just don’t give up. How can I ever TRUST Microsoft again? I will never be able to trust them after what they’ve done this last year to try to gain digital control…it’s simply disgusting. I went ahead and purchased an Office 365 subscription even though I said I would never use the SAS. But they had the “free” 1Tb of cloud storage with it (OneDrive) …so I’m wondering if next year, after I fill up the drive, if they will try to charge me for that also, separately. Google’s version was $9.99 and MS’s was $6-something…with Office, so I went with MS even though my better judgement says Google is just a little more ethical and concerned about their users. But I may switch…

That’s right…they obviously did not do enough testing before allowing automated vehicles to travel with actual passengers in auto mode, on actual highways…because this owner driving a Tessla in “Auto” mode…crashed in to a truck, and the driver was killed. Without hijacking their story, and their images, you can read about the rest of the story here: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/tesla-driver-dies-in-first-fatality-with-autopilot-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-driverless-cars/ …but I have always wondered if this technology just seemed to coming out a little too fast for my comfort. I find it hard to believe that people have put their lives in the hands of this brand new technology. Too soon for comfort for this technician.
