Didn’t I just tell you not to scan untrusted QR codes?
Are you tired of annoying Windows 10/11 feature updates? Do you want to stay on Windows 10 instead of prompting for Windows 11?
LOOK NO FURTHER

From the brain behind GRC (Gibson Research Corporation), Steve Gibson (twitter: @sggrc) has a tool just for you. It’s called InControl. It sets a couple of RegEdit keys that keep your computer on the current feature version.
With ONE CLICK to either “Take Control” or “Release Control”, YOU can decide whether your computer gets the next feature update, no Microsoft.
This is a free tool and does not need to install. You run the simple exe and BAM!
I have this on my own home personal Asus laptop running Windows 11 22h2 and I actually did a Google search for when the release of Win 11 23h1 because I didn’t know because I was still IN CONTROL of my Windows 11 major feature updates. The answer was 2/5/23.
Also, if you didn’t know, Microsoft just announced it will not be releasing any more feature update/semi-annual roll ups for Windows 10. Win 10 22h2 was the last. You will still get monthly updates until Oct 2025 for Windows 10.

#TLDR – Don’t be afraid of Windows 11. It’s the same as Windows 10 with a few rounded corners and a centering start menu. Update now or at least before 10/14/25

I created the above post a while ago. I just added appropriate 301 redirects for all my social media. You can go to jasonlamb.me/ [insert social media] to get to my profile on that social media.
Example: jasonlamb.me/facebook goes to facebook.com/jasrasr
try it with /twitter /instagram & /youtube
Pretty much any #jasrasr or @jasrasr account you see should be mine. If you see another that you don’t think is me then let me know.

Social media integration has been on my mind lately. Yes, before you get ahead of me, I know you can setup your twitter to post to facebook and your instagram to post to twitter and facebook. But there is already one problem. If I have my instagram post to twitter and facebook and my twitter post to facebook I end up with two postings on my facebook. I am getting tired of deleting post. I want to add content easily, not have to worry about duplicates. No one wants to see duplicate status post!
IFTTT is a great way to setup recipes to interact with several aspects of several channels. A channel can be facebook or twitter or instagram or even this blog. For examply I can create a recipe that says if I post something to this blog then post it to facebook.

Other Jason Lamb’s in the world…
In the past, I have searched Google for any Jason Lamb and collected a list. I did have an intention of posting that list but never did.
Years ago, I changed all my usernames/handles/links to jasrasr so you can find my on almost any platform with that user name. #jasrasr
Dr. Jason Lamb
As I find more, I will add them to this list...
I just wanted to update with the first post of the year. It is rare that one can do something first. It is also possible that I am typing this at 5:19pm on 1/3/23 and have the ability to pre-date my postings…I guess you will never know?
I am also a fan of scrabble and this picture looks like scrabble tiles.
