Mozilla is on a mission to show that online advertising can be done without violating a user’s privacy—or at least not violating it too much. Next week, the beta channel of Firefox will start testing new advertising tiles based on a user’s browsing history.

What better time to kick back with a relaxing YouTube session after a tough week? Whether you’re watching on a PC at the office or at home, you can make it even better by turning your smartphone into a remote control.

Introducing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10122 for PCs

Hi am CollinsWriters, this is CWTechNews,


win1010122.jpgToday we have a new build for PCs going out to Windows Insiders
 in the Fast ring – Build 10122. I usually start these posts with the
fun stuff at the top but want to call out our only big known Issue
here right away – if you’re using an AMD GPU you’re likely to
run into frequent crashes in Microsoft Edge (still branded as
 “Project Spartan” in this build.) If you want to avoid that, simply
 go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Advanced
 and change to the Slow ring to sit this one out. We’re working with
our partners at AMD on new drivers which should prevent the issue
 and will update this post once they’re released.
