Ubuntu has been doing some great work keeping the software trimmed down and moving faster. If you have not tested out the OS I suggest you download a copy and see the new improvements. You will be amazed by the new improvements. It's not sluggish anymore.

Permission Slip
Want to take control of your privacy then sign up for a Permission Slip from Consumer Reports. The application helps to take back control of your online privacy with the companies that you signed up for. In most cases, you can advise them not to share your information and if that does not work then you can decide to advise them to delete your account.

Ongoing Store Theft
It looks like one of the retail giants is using technology to stop ongoing store theft and if it does make a difference the other chains will hopefully follow soon.
Consumers may not enjoy the new changes but it's the only way that the retail giant can provide services to users and be profitable.
AI is just getting started and you can see more functions start showing up in a store near you.

Twitter Death
It looks like Twitter is going down and so fast that I can only imagine what the company is worth now. Everything that the new owner has done, has not gone smooth.
Now the question is what's next and what the new future of X will be, stay tuned because if this company does go down it's going to be another record blunder for Musk.

Meta Smart Glasses
These glasses are not only cool but they can livestream your daily life. The battery life is only four to six hours but from the sound of it, it looks like they can be worn anywhere and it will be great for traveling. Imagine instead of taking photos or videotaping events while on your camera. You can now show the world what you are already seeing live.

Windows Firewall and PowerShell are a great combination to use when it comes to network traffic. You can easily learn how to block a website, IP address, and port using the firewall, and if you are curious on how it's done, this is a great start.

MS Word Pad Ends
It looks like Microsoft Word Pad is ending the software and there no longer will be updates and any installation on its future OS. I guess it was good while it lasted.

Ransomware Simulation
I wanted to share a video with everyone on ransomware attacks and how easily anyone can be a victim. I caution users when getting emails not to open anything that does not look right.
Most of these ransom attacks can be halted if users get more proper education on how to open suspicious emails.
Also if you do become a victim reach out to Lockard Security since they were so nice to simulate an attack for us and educate us.

Fix TPM Error
This is the most annoying thing to get from Windows and I wish they would fix this problem and not have us try to do so many things to fix the annoying error.

Download Win10 Enterprise ISO
Windows 10 Enterprise has another two years before Microsoft eventually pulls the end-of-life plug on the OS, but in the meantime, if you want to evaluate the software and see what else you have access to as an administrator, it's a great OS when all of the features are exposed.

Uber Eats Delivery Bot Update
People have been wondering since its recent deployment if these Bots will open up more surveillance tools for the police to monitor.
Now this is already being used in other parts of the world, so this is nothing new. But citizens should be concerned that at least they are being proactive against crime.

This is the reason why you would want to install this download and yes if you manage a large amount of devices these applications are a lifesaver. It gives you the benefits of Windows with a little extra.

Norton Secure Browser
I am no longer a fan of Norton but if you still believe in the software and the company it's not a bad idea to use the software to secure your Windows and Mac browsers.

Enterprise Copilot coming Nov 1
It looks like Copilot is heading to Enterprise license owners on November 1 and like I said earlier, this is going to be a big game changer for companies on how they do their daily work.

Win Going Wrong
It looks like Windows 11 is going wrong again, well sort of. In Windows 10 Microsoft did away with some of user's favorite options and continued to do it again with Windows 11.
I just do not understand why they just do not follow what users still want.
I guess it's back to consumers to decide if they want to upgrade or not and for Microsoft to learn another valuable lesson when it comes to sales. Stay tuned.
