Its a small difference, but a real one.Go into your operating system and for all WiFi connections set MAC address randomization.For Windows 11 it is under Network & Internet -> WiFi right at the bottom -- "Random hardware addresses."For Android it is on by default for WiFi connections -- check all of them you use, and it should be on.I suspect IOS on Macs has a similar feature.Unfortunately for most systems there is no similar setting for hardware connections (e.g. cabled.)This didn't used to matter much in the world of IPv4 because MAC addresses do not travel beyond the local...

Windows 10 just loves to create Log files. Those take up space on hard drive. In 28 years of using Windows, I never have found any use for these log files. May be Bill Gates looks at them from your PC. To me they are totally useless, taking up space and slowing down my PC by few micro-seconds for each access. I created this program to delete every one of those log files. Simply double click on the shortcut Logs-Del on your main desktop window and the program does the rest. This program deletes only LOG files, nothing else. Create...

Those still using Windows 10 version 21H2 have about a month until support ends, which means there will be no more security updates or other measures after that.

"After this date, devices running these versions will no longer receive...

Now that Windows 11 has been out for more than a year and a half, it’s not too surprising that...
