Yes, a Head’s Up!
And literally a quick one, at that.
After noticing a couple of things on the Technology section of the BBC’s news site.
First off … ?
And one that grabbed me, after switching on the first Safari extension I installed … ?
Was all about how extensions and add-ons for modern-day browsers can — potentially — interfere with the Private Browsing feature.
Not a big worry for me, as Safari’s Private Browsing feature isn’t something I use often, but something to be aware of, I think.

The second … ?
Was the news that a worm aimed at jail-broken iPhones — ones owned by users in the Netherlands, with accounts with Dutch bank, ING and that had SSH (secure shell) installed — that directed them to a fake version of the banks website.
Then stole their details.
I know at least two iPhone users: and I’m willing to bet you know at least one.
And am going to suggest you and I put the word around.
Someone over here will think “THAT’S a good idea,” at some point …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable: as are Bluesky or Mastodon links. I also like seeing folks webpages.
