albertdesalvo, Many thanks for the names. I filed the information for future use. Late last month I wanted to contact one regarding a non-aviation issue and story but am unable to find an email address for either. There is an email address for Pat Foran showing up on his website ConsumerReport@PatFo...

On Wednesday 1 March 2023 in the morning we accessed our Tutanota email account with no problem. That afternoon WITHOUT WARNING our email service was blocked. We could still login but could read only the email headings in various folders. All text was missing. I contacted Tutanota Support from our s...

UK media has numerous consumer/reader advocates who take on companies (eg banks, travel agents and airlines!) and government departments (eg CAA, various UK airports etc) who have "provided bad service" to their victims and are refusing to provide a remedy. These are most effective, particularly reg...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11752005/Why-didnt-shoot-earlier-Chinese-spy-balloon-shot-SC-seen-taking-off.html Someone in the US/Canada/NORAD was tracking the balloon from when it first took off over the South China Sea. Are those who watched this enemy surveillance craft approach and sa...

About a week ago a Chinese balloon crossed Alaska and Canada between Alaska and Montana either without being detected or someone was withholding information. As you know it was finally shot down off South Carolina. It apparently became public knowledge when the Billings Gazette published photos. htt...

A friend recently lost his cell phone, which meant that he also lost his contact list which had not been backed up elsewhere. I would like to avoid this in case my LG C440 flip phone should fail or go missing. The LG C440 owner's manual fails to mention any way to back up or copy the contact list to...

According to Firefox, Version 78.11.0esr is the current version for Mac and was released on June 1, 2021. I checked this on both of our Macs. First on the MB Air I opened Firefox and clicked on "About Firefox". The window that opened advised "Firefox is up to date" and that it has Version 78.11.0esr...

We use Firefox on a MacBook Air with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks and an iMac with OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan. For years we have used Firefox which is always kept current. The latest version of Firefox which is on both Macs is 78.11.0esr. Firefox works fine on the MB Air. It used to work fine on the iMac. Howev...

Thanks for the replies. The problem is mainly normal size house fles and some little flies that seem of a different type. They are very small and move slowly. There is the occasional mosquito, from when the door screen is opened. I did an online search and have been looking at various UV bug zappers...

When first introduced Shell Vapona Strips were suggested as an easy use insect pest control in homes. Later advice was to use these strips only in uninhabited spaces or rooms which were occupied for less than four hours per day. More recent advice is to avoid these strips altogether in occupied room...

I previously used Random Agent Spoofer with Firefox on an iMac. This no longer works after recent updates of Firefox. After an online search I decided to try Chameleon for Firefox. According to Firefox preferences I am using Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 but Chameleon refuses to download because it advises...

Mrs. C has a MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks since new in January 2014. After being unwrapped it was set up for one user named USER, who of course was an administrator. Sophos antivirus was installed. Backups have been made by clicking on the Macintosh HD icon, opening the Users folder and ...

I have been receiving this message for several hours. I am using an iMac OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks with Skype 7.36 (507). This worked fine last month. My contacts show fine. Some are Offline, some are Away and some are shown as being Online. However attempts to call them end in the messages: Call - error...

I am looking for an electric shaver repair business in Alberta or Montana to replace a part on my shaver. Online searches fail to show any shaver repair operations. I have the replacement part but do not know how to install it. It is made of plastic and I do not want to break it. It needs someone wi...

Microsoft recently withdrew Skype service from us. Apparently this is due to some sort of enforced pseudo-upgrade that Microshaft is trying to railroad on to users. This so-called upgrade seems to be a disaster: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-40526116/skype-backlash-worst-update-ever We hav...

The May 2017 global ransomware attack showed that for one reason or another many users prefer to use older operating systems or OS versions. They do not need more features and gimmicks. All they require is occasional security updates to keep their computers and networks safe. A number of large publi...

Using Jerzy J. Gangi’s “The best PGP tutorial for Mac OS X, ever” I obtained the GPG Suite from the GPGTools website and installed PGP on an iMac running OSX. I would now like to be able to send my key to various contacts. Some of these contacts do not yet have PGP so in my email I would like to be ...

This problem has not been solved. I am still unable to contact the webmaster of ehMac.ca. Like many who value their online security I do not use a browser such as Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer that is supplied by corporate agents of the “5 Eyes” surveillance gang. I use Firefox, a product of a...

I did! The Contact Us link at the bottom brings up an online form which, as I have explained above, has a Human Verification feature which does not work. The graphic does not show. It is not possible to enter an answer based on the invisible graphic. I did try sending a message without the answer bu...

Does anyone have a functioning email address for the administrator of ehMac.ca? Over the years I used ehMac.ca and received a fair amount of help from its members for which I have been very grateful. I can no longer access it because some while back the forum operator required all members to reregis...

On our iMac running OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks the window for our browser is set at the maximum vertical size, extending from the top to the bottom of the screen. This shows the maximum amount of a long document or article in the screen and is fine as long as the window stays in the same position. The pro...

For many years it has been possible for anyone with a fast enough Internet connection to watch free live streams of sports from around the world. Most of these streams require the installation of Adobe Flash and will not work without it regardless of which operating system or browser is used. The pr...

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/04/apple-data-privacy-icloud It is no good advising users to turn off iCloud, keep it signed out, etc. The problem is that with all user-selectable options turned to “off” or ”do not report” your information continues to be sent elsewhere. Your computer...

I believe we all agree that there are some services that have to be provided by the government and that these have to be funded in a fair, equitable and cost-effective manner. The problem is that this does not exist as the process has been hi-jacked by various groups of crooks to sate their own gree...
