Unfortunately from my experience, these steps have to be repeated after every major windows update as the update resets them. :( Microsoft sucks.

As a teen, I thought when I get rich I would go to Michigan's Gibson store and get me a Les Paul, ES335, or something else that sounds sweet.

Gibson Guitars declared bankruptcy. An end of an era in music. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-43967923

I believe the lawsuit against the Yahoo mail data breach recently failed.  Oath, the new name Verizon gave to the shell company over Yahoo and AOL has put up a new user agreement telling you that they are scanning your emails for direct targeted advertising and other data analysis. There appears to be no opt out options.

News / Cancerous Roasted Goodness
« on: April 18, 2018, 11:53:28 AM »
California has ruled that products containing roasted coffee beans have to come with a carcinogen label. The high heat roasting process causes the formation of acrylamides from starches in the beans. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43594645 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/23/toast-thats-a-bit-too-brown-may-cause-cancer-say-authorities

It turns out telecoms are federally regulated and therefore not included in the ban. :(

News / Prostate Cancer Death Rates Overtake Breast Cancer Rates
« on: February 02, 2018, 10:14:56 AM »
A  BBC article revealed that prostate cancer deaths are on the rise and now exceeds breast cancer deaths. Globally, prostate cancer is now the second leading cause of death (by cancer) after lung. But it is # 1 in Canada. Symptoms are not usually noticeable in the early stages and can be similar to UTI infection. It is recommended that men in their 40s get a baseline PSA blood test. Elevated PSA levels can indicate the presence of cancer but also a host of other issues. It just lets the doctor know more testing is required.
