Tech gadgets, vicious hackers, sickness detection, Windows 11 24H2 bugs, Bitcoin, Sasquatch emoji, electric RV and Black Album. It is yet another Friday the 13th, a date that many consider to be back luck. For me it has always been a good day and I’m not at all concerned about it. My weekend focus will be getting my new computer configured so it is ready to be my primary workhorse for the next few years. Past experience tells me it will take 2-3 days to get various software installed and set up the way I prefer. While this is quite the task, it is one I always enjoy. While I’m doing that, check out all of this week’s news below.
