Tips and picks
Tip of the week: Save big on games
The Xbox Deals Unlocked sale offers up to 80 percent off key game titles. Sub-tip: You can sort the games list by “percent off,” “price: low to high,” and more.
App pick of the week: Firefox
Mozilla has enabled Total Cookie Protection in Firefox by default, making it “the world’s safest web browser.”
Also: Vivaldi Mail is now available!
Enterprise pick of the week: Windows Admin Center comes to the Azure portal
The Windows Admin Center server management tool is now available in preview in Azure. This new capability enables seamless and granular management of your Windows Server Azure IaaS virtual machines (VMs) from within the Azure portal. Windows Admin Center in the Azure portal is available to all Windows Server customers on Azure running Windows Server 2016 or higher virtual machines in the public cloud.
Codename pick of the week: Gibraltar
I’ve been part of the preview for the version of Windows Defender that is designed to protect a user’s family of devices that was codenamed “Gibraltar.” Over the past week, I’ve gotten notices from Microsoft that the preview is coming to an end, so I guess it should be launching soon ™.
Beer pick of the week: Wild East Brewing Alfresco Cucumber
Alfresco Cucumber is a Kolsch ale conditioned on cucumbers. I personally hate watermelon in beer, but cucumber is much nicer. It’s light, low ABV (5 percent), and not TOO cucumbery.
