How to Use ZFS Snapshots and Clones. If you’ve decided to use ZFS on your storage devices, congratulations! You’re using one of the most complex and feature-rich filesystems on the planet. And if you ever decide to store long-term data, such as family photos and videos, seriously consider ZFS. In a redundant setup, such as four mirrored hard drives, it absolutely guarantees you will never lose one bit of data due to  bit rot  or other forms of storage degradation over time, computer errors and so on. ZFS can self heal and recover data automatically. Complex algorithms, hashes and  Merkle trees  guarantee data integrity. However, in this tutorial why ZFS is the best choice for archiving long-term data is not covered. Instead, what snapshots and clones can do for you is being discussed. What Are ZFS Snapshots and Clones? A snapshot is simply an exact picture of the state of your data at a certain point in time. For example, let’s say you’re working on a complex website. You

Windows 10 Will Soon Stop Forcing Updates One of Windows 10’s most reviled “features” since its release is its update schedule. People frequently reported that the operating system would restart itself during sensitive actions with no easy way to stop it. There are unofficial methods, but Microsoft was always adamant that automatic updates were for the best. This move was to help users keep their systems secure, offering better protection against zero-day viruses and exploits as they were found. If users were given the choice to delay updates, they may have put it off to the point their PCs got infected by the malware – such was the idea. The Problem with Automatic Updates However, we saw Windows Updates causing problems instead of fixing them.

AutoCAD is a flagship product by Autodesk, the drafting industry’s juggernaut, designed to help its users with product or building design, manufacturing planning, construction and civil infrastructure. The sleek, three-dimensional, computer-aided design software is fully-featured but costs a lot more than other programs that match its capabilities. Since 1982, when it was made available, AutoCAD’s wide range of features and versatility for use in several industries make it the go-to product for professionals, students, and hobbyists alike. However, Autodesk no longer offers perpetual licensing for AutoCAD and switched to a subscription-based licensing instead, which forces users to seek out alternatives. In the long run it may be costlier to make the switch, though for CAD pros who aren’t limited budget-wise, paying more than $1200 may seem worthwhile. If you’re an average student or hobbyist working on a lean budget, you don’t have to always pick AutoCAD. There are some worthy
