Don't Roll-back Your iOS Date - You'll Regret It

Beware of postings on social media stating if you open your iOS settings and change the date to
January 1, 1970 you will be greeted with an easter egg of a retro Apple logo on your screen.

Resetting your date to this extreme will basically brick your device and at this time Apple does not have a fix for it - but they are working on a fix for an upcoming software update which has not been announced for a release date. 

For now, if you have become one of the unlucky ones to fall for this trick, the only remedy is a visit to the Apple Genius Bar and most likely they'd replace the device.

This issue affects most newer devices: iPhone 5S, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2 and newer.

So unlike what the Nike commercials tell you, this time - just don't do it.

Windows 10 Update - Now It's Recommended

(Source: https://www.neowin.net/images/uploaded/2015/07/windows-10-hero-08.jpg)

Microsoft is going the route of Apple when it comes to forcing users to use the latest OS.

Microsoft announced late last year come February of 2016 it would be changing the update for Windows 10 from an optional update to a recommended update.  Basically they are aggressively pushing the update out to a majority of users running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. 

If you have your computer set to download updates manually this won't affect you, yet.  However, if you have your computer set to download updates automatically then it is likely over the past several months, since Windows 10 was first released, it has already been downloading little bits and pieces of data to get your system prepared for the update. 

Once you are ready for Windows 10, prepare to wait.  The upgrade can take 90 minutes or more and about 3GB of data.  So sit back and relax.

On the other hand, if you want to stay with your version of Windows for as long as you can.  Checked out the Ultimate Outsider website and get the GWX Control Panel utility.  This free utility can remove and disable the Windows 10 update already on your system.  For more information, click here.
