I had an embarrassing moment once years ago when I was showing Picasa to my wife. I installed it and it started scanning the whole computer for images. Deep in my downloads folder were a few folders with some fairly tasteful nude collections that I must have downloaded months before and forgotten about. ...

Fortunately, my wife laughed, as the seemingly endless thumbnails of boobies started appearing.

Shared? :p

Well, yes, my kids computers are denied access to my shared folders, only MY network bridge is allowed to view my shared folders, so I can stream my digital purchases to my ps3/4 and BDP

That's why he should have used this instead. Truecrypt Container +Portable Firefox.

LOL I have a similar story but support based, workmate asked me to rescue all his photos from a dead laptop, so i set recovery software on the removed drive, everything it came back with hits i recovered to a usb hdd. You know the score search for *.jpg, *.xls, *.doc etc.

Told him when i gave the drive back what id done, and suggested he went through manually it to be sure, as there were a couple of nudy shots, and it wasn't his wife.

About 6 weeks later my mate stormed into my dept looking very flustered, turns out he sat down with his wife to sort them out....first batch was most of his porn LMFAO, the look of horror when he remembered what id told him...priceless! 

Another one was for a paying customer via my dear old dad (don't you just hate those jobs, win 95 and dial up modem) recovered the photos etc and up one popped of a polaroid scanned of a lady with her baps out, blouse and apron draped down, infront of a very 1970s style fireplace, late 40s id say, thought to myself ugh thats orrible and carried on, so machine fixed and returned to my dad for delivery, he takes it and phones me later saying he cant get their modem to connect to compuserve (a while ago!) so I got the address and headed to meet my dad, get to the farmhouse and ring the door bell.....guess who answered.......yep that very same lady but clearly 30+ years later! (thankfully Baps NOT on show)

I've never fault diagnosed a connection so quickly ever in my life, OMFG scarred for life! hahahah, have never had the heart to tell my dad that!

Apparently Windows 10's picture app sends data to 65.52.108.33 or msnbot-65-52-108-33.search.msn.com everytime you open an image. This is probably that picture DNA in action.
But if you dont want MS seeing your porn collection, you may want to block it in your hosts file :p

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
