Since Monday, everytime i start the SKMB Homepage, a Online Form appears.

"Urgent. The FCC is about to vote on its Plans, to Kill Net Neutrality."

There is a clock Ticking and you can filla form with your Adress etc.

Is it just me ?
No, it's not just you. Stephen supports net neutrality and has allowed the link to be added to the message board.

Just a little Tip.
Windows 10 made a lot of Updates the last 3 Weeks (including the Fall Creator Update)

Usually Junk Files are deleted automatically but sometimes it Fails.
So your System doesn`t slow down to much, you have to delete this Junk (The last Update yesterday had 265 MB of Junk)

If you`r not Sure, what to delete, use a Tool like CC Cleaner or Glary Utilites (My Favorite) They are Freeware and work Properly

Yup, just got done with that. Jeez I really hate how my PC goes crazy every time there's an update downloading in the background. I pretty much am happy with Win 10 EXCEPT for this stupid feature.

On the other hand, with the latest patch Firefox is running very smoothly, and no more memory-hogging. More good news: there's talk on forums that the TabMixPlus add-on (the one thing that kept me with Firefox all these years before the performance became unbearable) will be updated for Quantum!

Is the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update out in the US already ?

Yap, read it yesterday, could take a few more Weeks.

Time for a Google Spring Cleaning.

We all now that Google is a Data collecting Monster.
So if you have a Google Account you have to clear the Saved Data and if you want, you can disable the Collecting of your Data.

You have to go to the Dashboard and Log In with your Username and PW....maybe it wil surprise you, what you see there
