VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid: eraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.

VeraCrypt main features:
Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
Encryption is automatic, real-time(on-the-fly) and transparent.
Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.
Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
More information about the features of VeraCrypt may be found in the documentation

TrueCrypt

TrueCrypt: WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues

This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.

The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.


Migrating from TrueCrypt to BitLocker:

If you have the system drive encrypted by TrueCrypt:
Decrypt the system drive (open System menu in TrueCrypt and select Permanently Decrypt System Drive). If you want to encrypt the drive by BitLocker before decryption, disable Trusted Platform Module first and do not decrypt the drive now.

Encrypt the system drive by BitLocker. Open the Explorer:

The real 'fake news': how to spot misinformation and disinformation online | CBC News

The real 'fake news': how to spot misinformation and disinformation online | CBC News: So you think a story, photo or video you've seen online might be fake�— or exaggerated, at least. Maybe you spotted a photo that's generating outrage or ridicule, or a headline that seems too bizarre to be accurate.

But you're not sure.

How do you know if what you're seeing is real? How can you find out where it's coming from?

This guide will give you some tips on how to evaluate what you're reading and seeing, so you'll be better equipped to decide whether to trust it.

First off, we're going to avoid using the term "fake news." The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament in the United Kingdom recommended against using "fake news" in favour of more specific terms:

"The term 'fake news' is bandied around with no clear idea of what it means, or agreed definition. The term has taken on a variety of meanings, including a description of any statement that is not liked or agreed with by the reader. We recommend that the Government rejects the term 'fake news,' and instead puts forward an agreed definition of the words 'misinformation' and 'disinformation.'"

How to Reprogram Your Surface Pen Buttons to Do Anything You Want � Windows Tips :: Gadget Hacks

How to Reprogram Your Surface Pen Buttons to Do Anything You Want � Windows Tips :: Gadget Hacks: But what if you wanted the eraser to do something else? If you install the Surface app on your device, you can disable the default actions, or replace the gestures to launch any store or desktop app instead. However, that's as good as it gets with Microsoft's built-in options.

If you want to go beyond the basic customizations, you'll need a free program called AutoHotkey, which lets you reprogram the eraser to do pretty much anything. Time to start scripting!
