Microsoft has finally released a system tuner for Windows 10 and Windows 11 long after system tuners what sort of fallen out of fashion. But I dare say it’s better late than never.

It’s Friday 5pm and myself and the boys agreed to meet over a drink and catch-up. Am just leaving town after a long days work to JazzVille in Bugolobi. The Jam is at its peak, so using public means is out of the question. I pull out my phone and start the safe boda App. I enter my destination and Safe boda gives me my estimated fare.
