1. Shutting Down Doesn’t Fully Shut Down Windows 10 (But Restarting Does)
  
  When you click “Shut Down” on your Windows 10 PC, Windows doesn’t fully shut down. It hibernates the kernel, saving its state so it can boot faster. If you’re experiencing computer problems and need to reset that state, you’ll need to restart your PC instead.

So, #quad9 is a #DNS provider with a memorable address, 9.9.9.9, much like one you probably already know and love. But it returns an error for known #malware domains, and has a no-IP-logging privacy policy. It's a nonprofit initially funded mostly with $25M in cash seized from online fraudsters and the like by law enforcement.

I ... kinda trust the cops more than I trust $GOOG for my DNS, at this point, and considerably more than Comcast...

1. How to Get Rid of “Suggested Apps” (like Candy Crush) in Windows 10
  
  Windows 10 automatically installs apps like Candy Crush Soda Saga and FarmVille 2 when you first sign in. It also displays more “Suggested Apps” from the Store, both at the left side of your Start menu and at the right side as live tiles. You can disable these to clean up your Start menu.

Wow, so like the only place to easily report a suspected #malware domain which wasn't dropping stuff on the browser you're using to report it is Google Safe Browsing. The malware domain lists used by Ublock et al don't have a credible submit method.

As an analogy to #malware (malicious software) and #maluser (malicious user) I thought I could portmanteau "malicious content" to #malcontent. But that already has another meaning, although not entire inappropriate

How Israel Caught Russian Hackers Scouring the World for U.S. Secrets

source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/technology/kaspersky-lab-israel-russia-hacking.html

The Israeli officials who had hacked into Kaspersky’s own network alerted the United States to the broad Russian intrusion, which has not been previously reported, leading to a decision just last month to order #Kaspersky #software removed from #government computers.

...

But experts on #Russia say that under President Vladimir V. #Putin, a former #KGB. officer, businesses asked for assistance by Russian #spy agencies may feel they have no choice but to give it.

WTF?! - I know that #Trump's U.S. has a #NSA, who does the same and all is called national #security! -> U.S. Agencies Said to Swap Data With Thousands of Firms - source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms

And I have more #insider #knowledge!

It wasn't the #Mossad, who made this public. The Mossad hacked Kaspersky, who was hacked by the Russian spies, but the Mossad was watched by the German BND, who was watched by the Danish #intelligence. The Danish spies were hacked by the Russian spies. So when the Russians looked on their screen they saw the Danish's, who saw the Germans, who saw the Mossad, who saw Kaspersky, who was hacked by the Russians. So the Russians saw themselves hacking Kaspersky - live! This ring screen sharing triggers an #Google alert. The NSA, who monitors Google got the screenshots and saw their own #malware. It's a mad world!
