14th December, 2025: “The Witch of the Waterfall”.
An Introduction.
It’s not often I duplicate posts: at least, not often I use the opening of one post as the opening of another.
Except it’s something I did, last week: when writing my introduction to my reviews of the
first two episodes of
The War Between the Land and the Sea.
Ands it’s something I’ve repeated with this weeks two episodes.
Sue me!
Additionally?
It’s not often I complain about Apple.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m something of a Mac fan: I’m writing this on a 2024 Mac mini, using macOS Tahoe 26.2, and Safari 26.2, to write this post.
I had problems, updating to the new versions, last Thursday: when, after the update ro 26.2, my browser would not stay logged into my usual websites, after switching the thing on in the morning.
Then would sign me out when I switched it off.
As you can imagine?
It was very frustrating.
Contacting various people proved little help: including Apple’s community forums.
So?
I contacted Apple’s Support line.
Where an extremely helpful young person managed to diagnose the issue.
All I had to do, it seems, was make a small change to Safari’s preferences: turning off the cross-site tracking option in Safari>Settings>Privacy.
That seems to have solved the problem, for now: although I don’t know what long term issues may happen as a result.
I hope they’re minimal.
But I’m also aware I had that box checked for several years: with no problems.
Why it’s happened with this update?
I don’t know!
~≈🧜🏼♂️≈~
My problems aren’t why you’re here.
You’re possibly here out of curiosity, boredom, or a random social media post.
So, if you’re a newcomer to Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar, I’ll have to repeat what I’ve said in earlier posts.
In other words, say “Welcome aboard”, tell you I write the
Daily Teaser quiz, and about films and TV shows I’ve watched.
One of those shows? Is the Dr Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea.
I saw the first episodes, “Homo Aqua”, and “Plastic Apocalypse”, last week, and caught the third episode, “
The Deep”, last Sunday.
This post?
Is about the fourth episode, “The Witch of the Waterfall”.
Yes: I’ve started this post, early.
But?
It’s Christmas.
It’s busy!
And the weather is acting up.
Let’s move onto the review, shall we … ?
