Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:
Google CEO Sundar Pichai: Fears about artificial intelligence are ‘very legitimate,’ he says in Post interview
“but the tech industry should be trusted to responsibly regulate its use.”
The fox in charge of the hen house analogy was never more apt than here.
Apple Warns iPhones Have A Serious Problem
What Apple is changing is how users will be able to resize pictures and manage applications on their iPhones. How will these functions be altered? Apple hasn’t said, other than to confirm the update and describe this functionality as “minor” when it is clearly anything but.
So what is going on? In short: Apple is trying to win favour with judges and iPhone users are the test subjects for this.
Those “judges” are in China.
Google isn’t the company that we should have handed the Web over to
Microsoft adopting Chromium puts the Web in a perilous place.
Agreed but it may be too late.
Former Edge intern says Google sabotaged Microsoft’s browser
LOL at a Microsoftie whining about web standards.
Social media is turning a generation of children into liars, leading headmistress warns
teenagers tend to “curate” a certain image of themselves on their social media accounts, such as the photograph sharing platforms, Instagram and Snapchat.
They become used to covering up any perceived imperfections, and there is a danger is when this attitude trespasses into other aspects of their life too.
“If you get used to showing one image of yourself on social media, you may begin to believe that is completely aligned to reality,”
Just how is this different than adult social media users? #DeleteFacebook
Polar vortex could unleash winter wallop by January
“Confidence is growing in a significant #PolarVortex disruption in the coming weeks. This could be the single most important determinant of the weather this #winter across the Northern Hemisphere.”
I’m gonna need thicker socks.

Wow! Your title had me worried for a minute, but I double checked and it’s really only Tuesday!
Thanks for watching my back. Tells you where my head is today.
Had me wondering there for a minute too. Seriously though, great site you have here, I’ve had it bookmarked for years.
Thanks!
Greetings Eric – Thanks for updates. I have started using Macrium over Acronis. Can we expect in future a short guidance on Macrium recommendary settings similar to your Acronis guide ?
I’ll try and do that over the next few weeks.
Really thanks Eric,
@Gilles – Truely its a great site !! Tweakhound is like an IT lifeline me – subscribed, bookmarked and daily visit atleast twice – one stop site for knowledge, news and keeping updated.
You guys are gonna have me strutting around like a peacock ☺️
LOL! Defeated they are! Strong with the Christmas Force Yoda is!
Would love to see you do a guide on Macrium. It would be super nice if you could address backing up multi-boot systems (Lynux, Win 7, Win 10) and how to restore them or clone them to new HDDs if necessary. With the different partition, boot schemes, etc., I am at a loss as to the best way to handle it. I’ve had no luck restoring these type configurations and am presently using a caddie to swap out my operating systems (might be the best way, LOL).
Make boot disk/flash drive. Backup (image) entire disk. Done.
Thanks, Eric
