Tech News

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update released on Oct 17

• As always, running updates has certain risks, as talked about on last week’s podcast
• Make sure you have plenty of time to run the updates, possibly a couple of hours.
• Always back up and know there’s that small chance the backup may fail and you’ll either have to revert back, or it could cause your system to become unstable.
• Features.
  • People Integration – You can now pin friends, co-workers, business partners, family members, etc to the task bar for easy access. It can even be used to contact via Skype
  • Fluent Design – a new design language from Microsoft regarding animations and effects. Some included changes are blur effects, easier resizing of apps and windows and a “shinier” design for the Start Menu.
• You can also pin website shortcuts to the task bar. This was available in previous versions of Windows, and now it’s back.
• New emojis – dinosaurs, genies, zombies and more are part of the Unicode updates for the fall creators update.
• Cortana – Cortana notifications can now be seen on your Android phone. And you can control Windows a bit with Cortana, including locking, signing out, shut down or restarting your computer.

Google Advanced Protection

• Meant for high-profile celebrities, politicians and other possible targets for hacking.
• Advanced security features for your account (gmail, google drive, etc)
• Need a physical key to unlock your data (USB)
• It also locks down your files and email to ONLY Google apps, eliminating the possibility of using 3rd party programs to attain the data.
• This will make using Google’s products a bit more tough, but if you’re concerned about information security more than you are about ease of use, this may be a good solution.
