It’s been a boring week out there in tech news land.
Some minor software updates:
AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.6.1 Optional Drivers
Samsung Magician SSD Software 5.2.1 (Thanks A.G.)
Stuff I bookmarked this week. Some off topic, some not:
Next generation Humvee debuts as NXT 360 with armor and autonomous compatibility
Pretty tough looking vehicle.
I was in the Army when we switched from the M151 A2 (Jeep) to HMMWV. I logged a lot of miles and sleep time in the first generation of the Hummer.
Here are a couple of my HMMWVs.
The one on the left was my first one pictured with my 60 Gunner along about 1986 or 1987 (West Germany).
The one on the right is me in Desert Storm in 1991.
Hackers can summon Cortana to break into Windows 10 PCs
Good to see someone found Cortana useful.
Facebook is tracking you in ways you never knew — here’s the crazy amount of data it sucks up

IQ scores have been falling for decades, and a new study blames schools and nutrition
Scores started falling in 1975. That was the year Pet Rocks were created and Captain & Tennille’s, “Love Will Keep Us Together” was the #1 song. Coincidence? I think not.
When I was at Uni the lecturer imparted his pearl of wisdom to us that “Most people are of average IQ”
If he didn’t understand averages, what hope have the rest of us.
Thanks for your service Eric!!!
Same appeal as all high end vehicles. It says, “I have more money than you”. I’ve never driven a civilian model. I didn’t care for the HMMWV in the woods as it was too bulky. It was great in the desert.
