    FCC Approves Rules Allowing Phone Companies to Block Robocalls

    Boy I hope they didn't spend too many millions coming up with this crap. It'll do nothing to stop the calls but will likely be a revenue stream for the phone companies.

    Anyone have any experience with Bush Business Furniture?

    I've got a few that are from Bush modular line. They're like what you linked in the original post but a different color. I didn't get an hutch with either. They're not cheap but they are well built, very sturdy and look nice. I have two of these, one 72" and one 60"...

    IBM Scientists Say Radical New 'In-Memory' Architecture Will Speed Up Computers

    And batteries that charge in 30 seconds and last 20 years... These announcements are great and all but a lot of this stuff never hits the consumer level or gets released. Intel's Optane sounded like the greatest thing to happen to SSD's and it's been pretty boring so far.

    The Only Safe Email Is Text-Only Email

    The web should be text only as well. No one needs video, images, sound, etc. Think how fast web pages would load.

    Amazon to Add Second Headquarters with up to 50,000 Jobs

    The bidding war is going to be fierce. Amazon will probably get free land, no taxes, etc, etc. I know Maryland is bidding on this as well.

    Best Buy Pulls Kaspersky's Antivirus Software from Its Shelves

    And yet we have tons and tons of Chinese products that could have built in backdoors, malware, etc. and no one seems to be concerned about that. The NSA is WAY worse than Kaspersky will ever be.

    Firefox Plans to Anonymously Collect Browsing Data

    FF has been more problematic with every release. The latest release has a weird issue where randomly my typing slows or pauses for a few seconds. Doesn't happen often but overall the performance of FF seems to be pretty bad compared to the good old days.

    Amazon Is Refunding Purchases of Dodgy Eclipse Glasses

    I'm just going to aim my camera at the sky and watch it later. My eyes have probably been damaged enough.

    Windows Defender Application Guard to Use Virtualized Environment

    Or you could use something like Sandboxie which can isolate pretty much any application in a "virtual" environment.

    OS imaging software for Windows 10

    Thanks for the replies. My use case is for disaster recovery rather than cloning the drive but I've used most of these programs for cloning and they worked fine.

    OS imaging software for Windows 10

    What do you use and did it work you had to do a full OS recovery? I've always used Acronis or Windows' built in system image and have used both a few times for a full recovery using OS's other than 10. For 10 I'd like to find something that works well for online/offline imaging and has a good...

    FireFox Really Slow

    It's been bad since v53, I've had a ton of issues after having zero issues for years. Don't want to switch to Chrome and won't use IE so I'm just stuck with it for now.

    Where's the sniper in Sniper Elite3?

    I like Sniper Elite V2 a lot, to me Sniper Elite 3 looked more like a far cry game so I haven't picked it up but I will when it is DEEPLY discounted some day.

    Fix Those Pesky Hacking Holes in Intel AMT

    Tried to run it on two PCs and it crashes right away. Not sure what that indicates. I'm going to try a few more and see if it works. AFAIK we never enabled this and it came disabled from the factory.
