Windows 10 is experiencing a spectacularly bad run of faulty updates recently, and if youve had enough, then Windows 12 Lite is promising to fix those issues.

Now, we should say straight away that this is not an official release from Microsoft. Instead, it appears to be a modified version of the Linux Lite 4.8 LTS distro made to look like Windows 10 with the default background wallpaper and custom icons.

Windows 12 Lite was spotted by a reddit user at a local computer sale, and according to the documentation that comes with the software (which is actually a crudely-printed sheet of A4), using Windows 12 Lite means No upgrading when ever you want to work. No upgrades that fail so you cannot upgrade clearly referencing Windows 10s recent travails.

It also makes the bold claim that there are no virus or ransomware as Windows 12 is immune from these nasties.

It also says that Windows 12 Lite is more than three times faster than Windows 10 and boots in about 15 seconds.

As well as the badly-printed out manual, there is also a rather ropey-looking website, which at least is honest about it being Linux Lite 4.8 LTS made to look like Windows 10.

Apparently, the seller was offering DVDs of Windows 12 Lite for 15 (around $20, AU$30) at the computer sale and while thats certainly cheaper than a Windows 10 licence you should never buy random software like that and you should never pay to use free Linux distros like Linux Lite.

While Windows 12 Lite is clearly not going to replace Windows 10, it does raise some interesting points about how Linux could be a good alternative for people who are getting sick of Microsofts mishandling of Windows 10.

There are many lightweight distros out there that run much faster than Windows 10 especially on older hardware, and because not as many people use Linux versus Windows, there are fewer viruses and malware threats as well.

And, as Windows 12 Lite shows, you can configure Linux to look and behave very similar to Windows. Check out our pick of the best Linux distros for beginners for better choices for replacing Windows 10 with Linux.

You can make audio or video calls from a smart device or computer using Skype. You can also host personal or business calls on the app.

Like any other application, Skype receives frequent updates, allowing for better user experience and even new features.

The process for checking which Skype version you're using on Mac versus PC is slightly different, but the process for updating to the latest version is basically the same on both devices.

Here's how to manually update Skype on your Mac or PC or download the latest version.

1. Turn on your PC and launch the Skype application on your computer. Sign in if needed.

2. Click on the "Help" button. If you don't see the "Help" option, hold the "ALT '' key on your keyboard and a menu will appear.

3. Click "Check for updates manually."

If you're running Windows 10, you'll have to update your Skype version through the Microsoft Store.

1. Launch and sign in to Skype.

2. Click "Skype" in the top toolbar.

3. Click "Check for updates" and select the update if available.

1. Open your browser and navigate to https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/ to download the latest version of Skype.

Transfers to replace injured Adam Forshaw at Leeds United in January were not considered because of the cost and level of midfielder required.

Head coach Marcelo Bielsa addressed the matter of Forshaws hip surgery in Thursdays press conference after it had been announced the midfielders season was over.

Forshaw went under the knife on Thursday in Colorado and will now look to return to action in pre-season ahead of 2020/21.

One of the main tenets of Bielsas tenure at Elland Road has been his refusal to run with anything other than a small squad.

When a key cog in that unit is ruled out, their absence is keenly felt. Furthermore, when their season is prematurely ended less than two weeks after the latest transfer window ends, there are question marks around contingency plans.

Elia Caprile, Ian Poveda and Jean-Kevin Augustin were the only three additions last month. Forshaw, despite his aborted attempts to return, was not directly replaced.

Bielsa explained why and acknowledged it is troubling to have planned a campaign for an 18-man squad and then lose a regular starter permanently.

I would like to count on Forshaw, he said. We resolve this situation with [Kalvin] Phillips, with [Mateusz] Klich, but when you plan one season with 18 players it is not the same as when you have to struggle with less players.

If we bring in another player, always we have to bring in a better player and better means, in every sense, not just in skills, resources, if not one player who can compete right now.

We can bring one player like that paying a lot of money.

Augustins status in the squad has already been discussed at length by Bielsa, who has repeatedly pointed to the Frenchmans limited minutes across the past 12 months and inadequate fitness for his system.

Evidently, this need to hit the ground running also played on Bielsas mind when it came to any proposed Forshaw replacement.

Also, it is understood the Whites do not have a sizeable space in their Profit and Sustainability projections to accommodate such an investment.

CALGARY -- Coventry Hills residents were sweeping up a lot of broken glass Thursday, after a vandalism spree left numerous cars with windows blown out, leaving the Calgary police asking area residents for help identifying a suspect.

Between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Thursday, according to Const. Clayton Publicover-Roe, about a dozen vehicles had their front side driver's window shot out with what appears to be a BB or pellet gun.

Most of the damage was done in the Coventry Close area, although Publicover-Roe said the police had also received reports of it in Evanston, where possibly six other vehicles were affected.

Two more incidents were reported around 5 p.m. Thursday, one in the 4600 block of Hubalta Rd SE at 5:10 p.m. and another in the 3200 block of Doverville Cres S.E. at 5:28 p.m. The Dover location was confirmed as a vehicle, while it was unclear whether the Hubalta incident was a vehicle or a home, but Calgary police said a window was shot out five times, with a BB gun.

Coventry Hills resident Gary Bahen had two vehicles vandalized: one school bus that he said was vandalized Wednesday and one van that was hit Thursday.

On the school bus, Bahen said, "I got my driver's side window and seven of the side windows (shot out), so a real mess."

After he spent most of the day Wednesday arranging for new windows to be shipped from Quebec, Bahen woke up Thursday to discover his van window shot out.

"I'm having a hard time (replacing that)," he said. "I've been calling around. Looks like we're getting something in from Edmonton."

Bev Teichroeb, who has lived in Coventry Hills for seven years, said the experience was unsettling.

"You don't feel very safe in your neighbourhood," she said. "You wonder what's going on, like why are they doing it?"

According to Publicover-Roe, theft didn't appear to be a motive.

"At this point, so far there's no reports of anything missing from the vehicles," he said. "It just appears to be possibly somebody driving by shooting at windows with a pellet or BB gun."

Bahen who said there has been very little vandalism in the 16 years he's lived in the area, wasn't too upset despite the fact that it's costing him "a couple hundred bucks."

"I'm sure it was just some kids or something," he said. "BB guns. What do you do? Hopefully it's just a random vandalism kind of thing."

Publicover-Roe said there may be others who have had their windows shot out who feel as if it's not that big a deal, and asked that they contact police to let them know.

"Police take this very seriously," he said. "There's lots of possibilities of harm to the public. Possibly, somebody could have been sitting in one of those vehicles at the time the windows were damaged.

"At the moment we don't have any suspects," he added, "so that's why we're reaching out to the public. If anybody knows anything, if anybody has any CCTV footage, door bell camera or anything like that, just reach out to us and give us a call."

Police can be reached at 403-266-1234.

How to test a MacBook battery: see if it needs replacing & replace it - Macworld UK

Almost 10 million pound will be spent on replacing every street lamp in Swindon with LED bulbs.

The Swindon Borough Council revealed the 9.7m project to replace the current lights with light-emitting diodes.

The authority says it will mean a big saving in electricity and cut carbon emissions.

Here's what you said on Facebook and the Advertiser website:

Mark Walker: "Where did that 10 million appear from? It would be a better investment in our dilapidated and abandoned town centre.

"There is one happy LED seller out there."

Paul Conetta: "They can't even fix the potholes so what chance have we got with this idea?"

Jennie Wolfie: "Will the amount of electricity being used and pollution created really outweigh the costs of such a project?

"Are there other ways the exact same money can be spent to have a greater environmental impact?

"If going to such lengths and expenses, can they not be made solar panelled, then it wouldn't be a case of using less electricity, but none."

Dave Durston: "Just what we need, instead of soft mild light coming through the window at night, now we'll have a blinding white light instead.

"Top job Swindon Borough Council."

Julie Clark: "They could spend that on fixing the poor roads and the bodge jobs they do that don't last."

Dan Elliott: "Everybody: 'Swindon needs to spend money on looking more attractive and being more green'.

"Swindon Council: 'We're installing efficient LED streetlights'.

"Everyone: 'How dare you!'."

Paul Tubb: "Perhaps some of us who live in the countryside around Swindon are sick and tired of the orange glow that ruins out night skies.

"Given that we've had LED streetlights for a year, Swindon Borough Council are late to the party as ever."

Lee Hallett: "Surely there is a better thing to be spending that money on."

Michelle Forbes: "Ha, the one outside my house was fixed on Monday after not working for three years, and it still flashes every now and then."

Robin Phipps: "Council finds 10 million pounds after a 3.9 per cent council tax hike..."

Toby Robson: "Is orange light pollution somehow more harmful than LED white light pollution then?"

Lee Hardy: "Can't they make them solar powered while they are at it."

Sylvester King: "They can start by replacing the town centre."

Pat Tucker: "How about filling por holes instead."

Derek Wilson: "If they do this and they save sheds loads of money, I am sure our council tax bill will be reduced."

Bill Baggins: "This seems a good idea, it's a lot of money but I think it's well spent.

"I'm not used to saying that about Swindon Borough Council."

PaulD: "Great idea. I hope they recycle all the old lamps, fittings and circuitry being placed too."

Driver Stan: "East Wichel would just like some working lights."

Frank2020: "Well done Swindon Borough Council. For once, some actual long term sensible thinking."

Jeremiah Trimble: "Saving some money is great, but I'll be most pleased at the lower levels of light pollution.

"I wish more people and companies would see the benefits of cutting down on light pollution, but it's a good start at least."

Following the termination of Windows 7 technical support, South Korean Govt has drafted a strategy to replace Windows 7 dependency with a Linux-based open source OS at full scale.

In May last year, the Korean govt announced the migration from Windows to Linux. Subsequently,the Ministry of Public Administration and Security plans to adopt the Open OS fully for all public institutions and local governments by 2026.

Open OS is an open-source operating system that is free to use by anyone who can also modify or inspect the OS source code available freely.

According to the report by Newsis, the Ministry of National Defense is already using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS-based Harmonica OS and the Postal Service division is going to utilize TMAX OS.

But currently, Open OS lacks some software support that needs to be solved to run the essential productivity applications effectively.

The ministries and agencies are targetting to replace the Windows OS to eliminate the dependencies of certain companies and reduce the high budget for technical support.

The ministry also intends to switch to Desktop as a Service (DaaS) in the later months to support the Open OS in the private cloud using the Internet.

Hence, DaaS will save up to 72 percent of the cost of purchasing an existing PC, along with the reduction in the budget for additional support.

The January transferwindow failed to live up to expectations for a number of different reasons.

Manchester Unitedfinally secured the signature of Bruno Fernandes and Tottenham Hotspur havereplaced Christian Eriksen with Steven Bergwijn and Gedson Fernandes, but thedifficulty numerous different Premier League clubs experienced in attempting torecruit a new forward encapsulated the difficulties of the January market.

United, Spurs,Chelsea and others had all hoped to recruit a new striker, only to struggle torecruit players with the desired profile. Gone are the days when such clubscould pick off the likes of Louis Saha from Fulham or Nicolas Anelka from BoltonWanderers. Now top-flight clubs from around Europe have little incentive tosell their star assets mid-season, particularly if worried by the prospect ofrelegation.

Much has been made ofBarcelonas struggles this window. The Spanish giants wanted to sign a newstriker to replace the injured Luis Surez and quickly began offloading theirdeadwood in order to raise the necessary funds.

Two forwards were offloaded Carlos Prez to Roma and Abel Ruiz to Braga but Barcelona failed to replace them with tentative interest in Evertons Richarlison and Arsenals Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failing to lead anywhere. Things then went from bad to worse for Barcelona on Tuesday, when it was announced that Ousmane Dembl will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured tendon in his thigh.

The 50 transfer sagas that will define the summer window for Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and more - Haitian Times

The 32- year-old has actually been in great goalscoring type for high-flying Getafe this period, and his launch provision is quickly obtainable for Barca

Barcelona are looking to indication Getafe leading marker Angel Rodriguez outside of the transfer window as they attempt to replace damaged assaulting duo Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele.

Barcas efforts to replace Suarez throughout the January window showed useless as a late step for Valencias Rodrigo damaged down, and passion in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Fernando Llorente to name a few stopped working to materialise.

Angel is thought to have a EUR10 million ( 8m/$11 m) launch provision, and is popular to Ramon Planes, aide to showing off supervisor Eric Abidal, from his time at Getafe.

La Liga clubs can authorize gamers outside the transfer window if a participant of their team experiences a lasting injury throughout the period, yet should obtain dispensation from the Spanish FA (RFEF) to do so.

LFP self-control code short article 124.3 mentions that the anticipated lack for the injury should be 5 months or even more for authorization to be offered.

The transfer needs to occur in between 2 Spanish clubs, so an abroad gamer would certainly not be an alternative.

The injury should have taken place after completion of one of the most current transfer window, indicating it is Dembeles scenario which will certainly be thought about as opposed to Suarez.

The Frenchman has actually endured a torn hamstring, though an anticipated return day has actually not yet been revealed by the club.

Barca would certainly have 15 days to full thetransfer Dembele would certainly not obtain an additional permit to play this period, also if he returns to physical fitness prior to completion of the project.

Suarez, at the same time, has actually undertaken surgical treatment on a major knee injury and might miss out on the remainder of the period therefore.

If an exception is provided by the RFEF, the EUR10 m charge for Angel ought to absent any type of barrier as Barcas assaulting situation deepens.

Quique Setiens side had actually likewise thought about the sort of Gironas previous Middlesbrough ahead Cristhian Stuani, Loren Moron of Real Betis, and also a recall for previous amulet David Villa.

However, it is the seasoned Angel that they will certainly transform to.

He has actually been in excellent type this period, netting 13 objectives in 27 video games in all competitors.
