- | |||
- | Several goals to this page: | ||
- | - **Get stuff read** - I open a lot of articles into new tabs, and then they just sit there. As a result, I often have over 90 tabs open. I am trying to keep that number down, so I decided to read them, make a quick note of their URL, and anything of note or to summarize them | ||
- | - Study the mechanism Facebook uses to provide the article previews with a lot of examples | ||
- | - Consider writing my own tool to produce previews of URLs | ||
- | - Consider how to format this wiki page so that an automated tool could combine all the links into a formatted page for Mobirise web editor, along with the notes I took. | ||

- | * In a fascinating post titled ‘You Won’t Believe what this One Line Change Did to the Chrome Sandbox’, Google’s Project Zero researcher James Forshaw revealed that Chrome is entirely reliant on the code of Windows 10 to stay secure. Moreover, Forshaw explains a new Windows 10 update recently broke through Chrome’s security with just a single line of misplaced code. Given Windows 10’s appalling recent update record, that’s not reassuring for either browser or platform | ||
- | * It’s important to point out that other Chromium-based browsers suffer the same risk (Opera, Brave, Microsoft’s new Edge browser), and that means you may tempted to quit Windows 10 if you are more wedded to your browser than your operating system | ||

- | * While laws spell out what debt collectors can do, keep in mind they can’t harass you with harmful threats, use obscene language, lie about who they represent or falsely claim you’ll be arrested, according to the Federal Trade Commission. | ||
- | * While paying the debt at this point helps, the negative notation that the account had to reach collections before it was paid will remain on your credit report. This can impact your credit score for five years. However, paying off your debt in collections will help improve your credit score in the long run, and it’s better to have a collection account marked “paid” rather than one that is still open or charged-off. | ||
- | * Either way, the Federal Trade Commission suggests disputing the debt in writing. Prepare to send the collector a letter disputing it and be as specific as possible about why you think the debt is wrong. Remember: You have the right to dispute any debt that you deem as erroneous. | ||

- | * There is no direct link to specific classes, kind of a dumb interface. But I think now I understand depth of field, and how the programmed modes work. I understood what the programmed modes were doing, but it seemed silly to adjust one thing and have the other work against me, so I always went straight to playing with manual mode, but not having much idea what I was doing.
