See AllYour browser is definitely not the best way to download files — use this instead
I have an adequate connection speed that allows very fast downloads inside my PC's browsers; it's a 7-10 ping, and consistently over 500mbps, so things fly down. This new program will be excellent for selecting the large downloads I make from the Internet Archive; movies, TV shows, etc. I can easily batch them up and download while doing other stuff as well. An excellent addition to anyone's apps.
I replaced my paid VPN app with a feature Windows already had — and it works perfectly
I used Google to login to comment here - it took longer than it will to type this message. If anyone still thinks their data is safe under any conditions, if anyone has concerns about their data privacy, then you might want to read up on what has already been taken. Literally BILLIONS of accounts, w/details, numbers, dates, etc. are already on the darkweb, and no one's data is 'safe' unless it's written on paper and locked away somewhere. Once those "0"s and "1"s go outside your walls, they no longer are yours.
For me, if they get my data, they'll end up losing money!
So, if VPNs, and multiple anti-virus programs, and rootkit checkers, and malware probs make you feel better, by all means use them, if it makes you feel better; your feelings count. If they want/need anyone's data, they won't steal it, they'll just go buy it, as it's all for sale. Handpassed notes, written in code are the only secure communication that I can think of.
The latest Windows 11 update is actually good — if you use these 4 tricks
After the update, my phone rings on my pc and open the microphone on my pc...only I don't have a microphone on my PC, so I can't talk on my phone because it's mike is shut off.
Dumped the entire connect system, shut it off on both devices.
How careless is it to not check for a microphone BEFORE handing off sound to it?
Also my screen blanks randomly, my indexing is run now by SNAILS, INC., and opening a program can take forever instead of immediately, and other mild weirdness. Not the best update.
4 tiny Windows tools that make a dual-monitor setup feel like magic
I use a paid program Object Desktop by Stardock, which supports just about all of the features mentioned in all of the apps, is module-based, and frequently updated, for those who want "it all"
5 hidden Microsoft Word features that make PDF editors obsolete
Calibre has trouble with many Word PDFs, as the conversion data, etc. is not included.
If you use Calibre, stick with Sumatra.
NASA says this is the most realistic sci-fi movie ever, but you probably missed it
Anything coming out of NASA during this administration is to be taken as pure BS.
