How to back up and wipe your Windows PC https://www.theverge.com/24167817/windows-pc-backup-wipe-how-to #news

So I've discovered another neat feature of the #Vivaldi browser; Workspaces. It allows you to stay organized without cluttering up your desktop with multiple windows, each with their own set of tabs. Basically I can have a "tech news" workspace where I have news and social media all tiled. I can also have a workspace with its own, different set of tabs. Each workspace stays running in the background and you swap between them with the workspaces button. Kinda like windows within a window.

In case you missed it, there were a bunch of leaked documents relating to #Google search that basically proved they have been lying, a lot, about how their algorithms work.

Headline: Google confirms the leaked Search documents are real

Subtitle: Until today, the company refused to comment on the authenticity of the trove of documents.
