    Just seen this circulating in the news. If you own an Apple device, you should patch it now if you haven’t already

    If you haven’t updated the iOS on your phone or iPad yet, please do so immediately. This is becoming widespread in terms of being exploitable in the wild

    Thanks for the info, updating my phone right now…

    I usually ignore these updates until way later…

    I read several days ago somewhere that with the ios16 and mac os Ventura, Apple is planning to separate “security updates” and “app updates” completely so, people can automatically and easily update their devices in a shorter time for security purposes…

    @crazycells that makes sense. Microsoft tried something similar with Windows but called it “optional updates” 🤦

    @Muhammad-Abdan-Farooqui Welcome! i’m currently using (and recommend) Bitdefender. For my sins, I’m using Windows, but need this for teams and Office365 integration (otherwise I’d always choose Linux). Have you looked at the Bitdefender product for MAC? https://www.bitdefender.com/en-gb/consumer/antivirus-for-mac

    and BOUM Personally, I don’t hate American companies. I use their products like everyone else, but I think their economic weight is such that they impose their own rules instead of respecting those of the countries where they do business. And here, for once, the DMA is putting the church back in the middle of the village (French Expression).

    @phenomlab issue was with high traffic spikes and the website used to get crashed. API is managed by others, its built in such a way they built it in such un protected way. we would be moving to nodejs own APIs soon to address all these issues. thought of solving it with help of you and a friend of mine is helping me build a new site with APIs. thanks

    My daughter needed a new tablet, which was an older Samsung. My wife wanted to get her an Ipad. Fortunately, I was able to talk her out of that and show her how much better an android tablet would be. Preferably the Samsung S9 Ultra tablet. By the way, that thing is outstanding! Great purchase!

    Something of an update here. Good news that some people will get their hard earned investment back, but certainly not everyone https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0qz3dg21vqo
