Kindle is an Amazon brand dedicated to books. This includes electronic reading devices, applications and the entire publishing platform. While Amazon would certainly prefer that you buy and consume your Kindle books on a Kindle device, the company is smart enough to know that we are asking for a choice and that they will make more money if they support us.

The e-books themselves cost money (but not always a lot of money), the fires cost money, but everything else in the stable is completely free. read more

With Windows 10 and the use of data acquisition, a controversy has again arisen. Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a feature called Timeline that allows you to return to the work you did earlier. You can also configure this function to synchronize your PC data with the cloud or work on multiple devices. Windows calls this collection of information about the behavior of your device before your activity history.

The data was always recorded online in Microsoft’s privacy dashboard, not because the AH1 switch was broken, but because checking the activity history you need to disable AH1 involves disabling the timeline, while the behavior you need to disable to disable AH2 is to ensure that you have your diagnostic data collection level set to Basic and not Complete. And since both functions are called “Activity History”, it is easy to confuse them. read more

There are two methods you can use to roll a device from the EMMS: a UEFI Surface Reset Package and a Recovery Request. read more
