More on Avast and AVG
by Steve Karl 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

Hi there, I appreciate Jeff’s concern for our privacy but I think more information is needed on the subject. Both Chrome and Firefox removed Avast and AVG browser extensions and add-ons sometime in December 2019. It seems to me the “Safe Price” add-on, in both Avast and AVG is the one to be cautious of and it is an option that can be unchecked during installation. It can also be removed after installation in both programs. I’m not sure it could even be installed in Chrome or Firefox. I didn’t try since I disabled that option as soon as I saw it. I never “sign up” or register a free program. I can’t remember if AVG asks for a signup, probably because I always instinctively don’t sign up for anything. Finally, after no signup and no submission of an email address, do I care that an unknown, unnamed, user with no email address and no physical location or house address (that happens to be me, by the way, since I’m using AVG free on my Windows 7 PC) has their browsing history gathered and sold? No, not really. But of course, it’s just my personal opinion. I think it’s a good idea to be aware of what “browser extensions” and add-ons are, and keep them to a minimum and also avoid the obviously suspect ones like the ones listed here: https://lifehacker.com/uninstall-these-eight-browser-extensions-that-stole-… but even in those situations, “they” are tracking unknown users. They call it “your data” but in the worst case reality, and in my opinion, it is just the browsing habits of an unknown user. Why did I switch to AVG when Windows 7 (Microsoft Security Essentials) lost support. Simple – to save $50.xx a year and avoid the annoyances cause by more needy and expensive solutions. I’m using the built in Windows Defender on my Windows 10 PCs. Steve Karl 412-441-4349 The Pittsburgh PC Help Desk

New Balance women’s sneakers
by Liz 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

I loved these VERY supportive waterproof sneakers when I bought the right size. 😬 I was so comfortable in my first pair that I went back to the store and bought this pair thinking the extra-wide size would be ok. But pretty immediately, I realized it wasn’t the right fit, and it’s too late to return them. Let me know if you’re interested. Size 8, extra wide. Originally $130. Selling for $40.00 or best offer.

Fwd: Mayor Peduto Welcomes Latest Lead Testing Results from PWSA
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

*Published:* 01.28.2020 *Contact:* Timothy McNulty Communications Director Mayor's Office 412-660-1999 timothy.mcnulty(a)pittsburghpa.gov Mayor Peduto Welcomes Latest Lead Testing Results from PWSA PITTSBURGH, PA (January 28, 2020) Years of management and operational changes at the Pittsburgh Water & Sewer Authority are leading to remarkably positive changes at the agency, including its lowest levels of lead testing results in almost two years. PWSA announced Friday that lead compliance testing for the second half of 2019 showed a lead level of 10 parts per billion (ppb), which is below the action level of 15 ppb set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The findings are the first to fully show the success of PWSA’s additions of orthophosphate into the water system starting in April 2019, as well as other lead-fighting initiatives by the agency’s Community Lead Response program. Through the program PWSA has replaced more than 6,000 lead lines, including 3,000 in 2019, and plans for replacing another 3,000 this year. Much of the replacement work is financed by $49 million from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST), which Mayor William Peduto and Governor Tom Wolf announced in 2018. Other changes at PWSA have included a new cooperation agreement with the City ensuring the water system will remain publicly-owned; oversight by the state’s Public Utility Commission; and work by the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on the authority, which forwarded its restructuring recommendations in 2017. “Pittsburgh’s greatest resource has long been its water, and PWSA has proven it is more committed than ever to preserving safe and clean water for generations of city residents to come,” Mayor Peduto said. Prior to Friday’s lead compliance results previous testing over the past four years has shown: - June 2016: 22 ppb - December 2016: 18 ppb - June 2017: 15 ppb - December 2017: 21 ppb - June 2018: 10 ppb - December 2018: 20 ppb - June 2019: 17.52 ppb ------------------------------ .
