If you’re using Gmail and other online service,
be extremely careful.
The SPAM filter isn’t working as well as it used to
My inbox has seen way to many emails that are spam
Here’s just one sample I just received.

https://d1ka0itfguscri.cloudfront.net/Lh/2021/12/15/17/17/crlobbV2g4b/preview.jpg

Read the headers. If you aren’t exping an email, trash it.
Even better, put it in the spam folder where it belongs.

Here is my take on Google’s newest information release about files stored on Google Drive.
Thanks to ChromeUnboxed for their excellent article on this topic.

Interesting - whilst I have never used Google Drive and have no intention of doing so.
In order for Google to identify content violations they must have analytic access to your files. So the question is do you trust Google not to somehow benefit from rummaging through your data ?

No more or less than any other online storage service.
To protect the corporation, they actually need to do this to weed out the stuff that can get Google (Alphabet into hot water.)

Which is just one reason why I don’t use any on-line storage medium, I also haven’t any social networking accounts.

Lenovo again, can anyone remember a long time again when Lenovo products had a chip that had been hacked, a bug in it that could deliver malware ?
