Disable Windows 10 Tracking [Software Download]

Hello all,

Here is a link to a great app, called DisableWinTracking:

https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking

This app gives you quick access to stop/block the tracking features built into Windows 10. It also allows you to delete some of the built-in apps that come installed.

More instructions can be found on the page.

~Enjoy!

Using WolframAlpha to Generate Passwords

Need a strong password in a pinch but can't think of any?

Head over to WolframAlpha and have it generate one  for you!

You could have WolframAlpha generate a password by typing in the search box:

Generate a 8 character password.

- This will generate a 8 character password of random characters.

Generate alphanumeric password

- Will generate a alphanumeric password

You can even have WolframAlpha analyze your passwords:

Analyze password dog  

- Will analyze the password dog and return the results

Generate password all special characters

- Will generate a password using only special characters

Generate password only numbers

- Will generate a password using only numerical digits


There are a few more that you could come up with. Play around and see what combinations you can come up with.

September 2015 - List of Stuff

I decided to start a new little piece called List of Stuff. Each month, I will feature a few things that I came across during the month and put them up for others to check out. These could be things I'm currently into, articles that I read, software or apps that I used, books, music, or just plain anything that I found cool for that particular month.


September 2015 - List of Stuff


This is Cuba's Netflix, Hulu, and Spotify - all without the internet. Really cool piece on how another part of the world gets their information.

That concludes September's List of Stuff. Let me know if you liked the idea behind this. If so, I'll continue on in the coming months and possibly turn it into an email newsletter if it gains enough traction.


As always, enjoy!
