5618 Jackson St

20 Oct '18

Many of you have asked if anyone knew what was happening to the abandoned house that is on the corner of Jackson and Portland. I was told a few weeks ago that the house had been sold, and today I noticed a sign of 'intent to demolish' on the front of the house. No indication when, but it is listed under K Bennett Development, who are the developers who redid my home (I live next door). Just wanted to share as I know there have been a lot of neighborhood inquiries. Thanks Ken 5620 Jackson Sent from my iPhone (Please excuse typos)

Your next Windows 10 update will speed up your machine-Jeff Dumm Home PC Repairs
by Jeff Dumm 19 Oct '18

[image: image.png] <https://www.howtogeek.com/> Windows 10’s Next Update Will Make Your PC Faster, Thanks to Better Spectre Fixes <https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/windows-10s-next-update-will-make-your-pc-fas…> Your PC has been slower <https://www.howtogeek.com/338269/a-huge-intel-security-hole-could-slow-down…> ever since Microsoft patched the Spectre flaws back in January 2018. PCs from 2015 and earlier slowed down the most. Now, Windows 10’s next update will mostly eliminate those slowdowns, making your PC faster. Microsoft’s fix is part of Windows 10 version 19H1, which is currently in development. Windows Insiders can install an early, unstable version of it now. Microsoft will likely release it to every Windows 10 user around April 2019. This information comes via Microsoft’s Mehmet Iyigun, who works on the Windows kernel team. On Twitter, he explained the Microsoft has now enabled “retpoline” and “import optimization” by default in the new builds of Windows 10. Together, these features “reduce the [performance] impact… to noise-level for most scenarios.” That’s another way of saying the slowdown will largely eliminated and basically unnoticeable. Here’s his full tweet: We’re not sure what Microsoft’s “import optimization” is, but retpoline has been used on some Linux systems since January 2018. Retpoline was developed by Google <https://security.googleblog.com/2018/01/more-details-about-mitigations-for-…> and is a faster way of blocking Spectre-based attacks with “negligible impact on performance,” according to Google. You can get all the technical details about Retpoline <https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7625886> on Google’s website. It’s notable that security researcher Alex Ionescu <https://twitter.com/aionescu/status/1052705268683943936> found the speed of transferring a bunch of small files was improved on his test system. That’s because some benchmarks found a slowdown of up to 23% when moving a bunch of smaller files around, but Microsoft’s new patch seems to help a lot here. This is yet another reason to upgrade to Windows 10 if you’re still using Windows 7 (or 8.) Windows 7 was hit harder by the slowdowns <https://www.howtogeek.com/339559/how-to-stop-the-meltdown-and-spectre-patch…>, and now this fix looks set to come only to Windows 10—leaving Windows 7 users stuck with the already-larger slowdown.

Jackson Street USPS service
by Frank Czuri 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

I haven't had mail delivered since Tuesday. I've asked three of my neighbors and they have experienced the same. A East Liberty PO supervisor told me our deliverer is on Military Leave. Still it is inexcusable that we have not had mail. Has anyone else experienced this? Frank Czuri 6534 Jackson St Pittsburgh, PA 15206

Does anyone have a Suzuki Violin School - Book 1 laying around that they aren't using? If you'd like to pass it on, my daughter can put it to use in her music lessons! Let me know - her teacher is not picky about what version or edition it is, as long as it's Suzuki Book 1. Thanks! Martha -- Martha Riecks mriecks(a)gmail.com
