  Here we go again where we sit on the sidelines and watch the carnage…. excuse me review for side effects.

  In the meantime check out some of the Amazon prime day deals on computers, HP computers and Chromebooks and most importantly for today, external harddrives you can use for backup. While I wouldn’t mind if you bought your way into Windows 11 (after installing start11), I’m still not giving it the all clear for those of you on Windows 10.

  Also remember iOS has a beta out for version 16, so for those of you in the Apple ecosystem, expect some changes (more on that in the newsletter)

  In the meantime here’s what I’m looking at in terms of security updates (more links as the analysis web pages go live, remember my post dead body recap in Monday’s newsletter:

  9:58 am. – Patch Day Dashboard goes live 86 vulnerabilities, 4 critical.

• July 2022 Office non-Security updates are now available

  Posted on July 5, 2022 at 13:03 CDT by PKCano • Comment in the Forums

  The July 2022 Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, July 5, 2022. They are not included in the DEFCON-3 approval for the June 2022 patches. Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.

  Remember, Susan’s patching sequence and recommendations are based on a business environment that has IT support and may have time constraints on the updating process. Consumer patching should be more cautious due to limited technical and mechanical resources. The latter is the reason for the AskWoody DEFCON system.
