And never use public Wi-Fi. Or at least, if you have to then never spend money over it.
Yeah, I didn't mean to. Or at least I didn't mean to buy whilst using it. I suddenly realised I didn't have my ferry ticket and just bought one with my phone, but I can't remember if I was connected to train wifi when I did it. It's really easy to do this kind of thing without thinking.
For the 2nd time in as many weeks, I've just had this pop-up on my iMac. Anyone know whether this is a legit thing, or whether it's some dodgy as fuck thing that I absolutely should not be clicking on?
To be fair, it does open the Adobe Flash Installer App on my iMac when it appears, which to my un-technical eye, makes it seem somewhat legit.
Chrome has had that warning for all of 2020 when opening a new session for the first time of the day (strap line at the top of the browser that you can close). It's legit unless someone hacked my Chrome browser to show me that warning for a year.
Sure I read an article recently about Adobe dropping Flash support at the end of last year, and recommending everyone uninstall it. To be safe you could ignore the pop-up and just uninstall it directly.
Yeah it is an end of an internet era.
I remember doing a Flash game for a module at uni. The course was completely divided between people who spent too much time on New Grounds and people like me who despised the software from a creative point of view. Guess who got the last laugh there.

heard the lad still has major bowling swag. Will hit it perfect and then do the swag pose to the dude, then point at the dude's gf ask her if she liked that, how he humiliated her boyfriend, does she like what she sees etc. Then do the Jesus grind off that lad in The Big Lebowski
I keep getting emails, apparently from Microsoft, saying that my Gmail account is being renamed as an Outlook account. Now, it's almost definitely some kind of phishing scam but the email it's sent from is definitely the Microsoft accounts protection email address and it seems very genuine. So I'm wondering if, rather than being a fake mail, it's somebody using some other loophole or backdoor to try and either get into my account or get my password. It worried me enough to go and change my passwords, which is something I wouldn't generally bother doing. I'm pretty sure Microsoft can't change my Gmail address but maybe it means change how it is shown in Outlook. I dunno. It's pissing me off anyway as I have better things to be doing than changing passwords on all the devices etc in the house.
Yeah, I checked the long header text by copying it into wordpad and it doesn't seem spoofed. I guess I'm just surprised at how genuine it seems. I'm pretty IT savvy so I'd worry if someone like my mother got something so authentic looking.
