# Ever wonder what all those optional updates are? There's an easy way to find out.
# Step 1: Go to Control Panel > Windows Update > Show optional updates.
# Step 2: Select all the updates you want to find the title of, then copy the update details.
# Step 3: Remove all the cruft and only leave the links.
# Step 4: Replace http with https and /kb/xxx with /api/content/kb/xxx.
# Step 5: Save the list of links.
# Step 6: Open up an MSYS shell and do the following (replace the .txt files with your own):
#         (note: this will require curl and perl)

while read fn; do curl $fn -Lso - | perl -l -0777 -ne 'print $1 if /<h1.*?title=\"(.*?)\".*?>.*?/si'; done < '/r/updates.txt' > /r/updates_new.txt

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
