Windows Defender seems to be updating through its GUI again. And to my surprise, the Windows Update service even gave me a new Malicious Software Removal Tool.

Raspberry Pi Pictures

I recently found a stash of Pi pics on my 3 TB backup drive and thought I'd share a few. Of all the little PCs I built, I think the Palm Pi-lot is probably my favorite. Even though the Pi 3 and 4 are 64-bit and much more powerful, I think I'll always remember that initial excitement when the Pi 2 came out most of all. It's really what motivated me to start compiling my own kernels.

Samsung DeX for Windows 10

All the articles online still say you need a Note 10 but I can say for sure that it now works with the lowly "economy" (US$750) version I own, the S10e. You'll need Android security patch level November 1, 2019 or later.

Works much better than my Android emulator for video streaming like with PlutoTV.  MEmu lets you have multiple accounts though.
