Right, and I use a POP3 email interface. The industry seems to be supporting and pushing towards IMAP, but POP3 puts all of my info on my own machine.

I find these cloud backups very convenient. However, I use them mostly as a convenience, e.g., for tech stuff that I can save and access for new contracts.
Recently, I've started backing up (not to Google) files that I first encrypt.

I wonder how many TBs they will allow for free. Although Comcast has a monthly transfer limit.

That should be convenient. Users can now backup up the YouTube videos and Google Play movies they've downloaded from Google back to Google.

Is this opt-in, or will it just happen by default?

Firefox's multiple content processes don't suck up as much RAM as Chrome, says Mozilla. Multi-proc (and multi-thread) is hard: chapter 54

Read the fine print before you wonder why it's not working. In addition to needing all your addons to be compatible[^] to get any level of content processes support; using more than 1 content process by default is only being rolled out to 80% of non-addon users for FF54. Those of us with addons are still limited to a single content process unless we fiddle with internal config settings. Since the limit is in place due to bugs with multiple content processes and addon support this isn't recommended. (If you want to try it I suggest giving beta/nightly a spin to get any fixes sooner than the next major release.)

Microsoft today issued an announcement warning that current Exchange Server versions don't support the newly released .NET Framework 4.7 and that organizations using the server should block the installation of the new framework for the time being. Hurrah for backward compatibility

Starting this fall, with the public launch of the next major Windows 10 update — codenamed Redstone 3 — Microsoft plans to disable SMBv1 in most versions of the Windows operating systems. Now what's going to happen with my WfW clients?

Why would anyone still have SMBv1 enabled on their systems?

Apparently the most common offender is older *nix systems that declared SMB1 good enough for talking to windows boxes if the customer insisted and declined to support newer safer versions.

Not really. Just do what we all learned in grade school:
