Found a way to get to private browsing in chrome on iOS but did not find out how to leave it other than closing the browser.

Better to close the browser after the private session anyway :)

True.  My computer is stuck signing out so I can restart the machine.  Arggghh!

I like chrome better on ios devices for forums like this one.

The internet is slow today and it was slow yesterday.

Perhaps you need to reset your router? https://www.nbcnews.com/better/video/reset-your-wifi-router-to-protect-yourself-from-russian-hackers-1244757571684 check out the video.

Unplug for 30 seconds, replug,   Change the access password and the encryption key.  Check for a firmware upgrade and install it if there is. 

However, if you're really paranoid, reset to factory original and reprogram it but be sure save your settings into a file before resetting otherwise you'll have to reprogram it manually instead of just loading your settings file.

Morning. Bright yellow sun perched on city skyline like a beach ball tossed too high feels good on my face after a few miserable days in the grip of a cold virus, is suddenly wintery here after an autumn so warm our roses are still in bloom and treetops are only now turning rusty brown :)

Complaint:  I just received a phone call from a robot telling me that my iCloud account had been hacked and that I should call <phone number> to get instructions.  I don't have an iCloud account.   I am alergic to clouds.   But I worry about people who get taken in by this scam.  And I suspect I might be getting some calls from a few of my customers with tales of woe about what happened after they called and followed the instructions.  I warn them to never believe phone calls or screen pop-ups from other than their Norton or MalwareBytes software that I installed for them.  But some of them get confused and scare easily. 

Did you ever get the phone message that the "The Department of U.S. Revenue Police" are coming to arrest you and your family for nonpayment of your "U.S. Federal tax", but if you send them payment they will not be sent?

Its really kinda funny actually... It's really badly worded and clearly the person who scripted it has only a cursory knowledge of The U.S. and basic terminology... Never mind grammar... It's like reading a really poorly translated set of instructions or the ad text on a 99¢ store product...

But the person goes on that "the local magistrate has determined you have been dishonest in your assessments and the tax court have authorized the revenue police to arrest you and your family if payment is not made in 24 hours"

Like, so... Are they on the way or is it in 24 hours?... Or are they are on the way, but they drive really slow... Or maybe they are just gonna wait on the lawn for 24 hours?

You really have hash this stuff out before you try to scam people.

Total F- on effort and execution.

Sadly some people are dumb or senile enough to fall for it.

Sounds about as well created as the Revenue Canada phone calls I keep getting.  I'm STILL waiting to be arrested.

Had a few phone calls from the internet police wanting cash for damaging their network. Thinking of dumping fixed line and phone book listing altogether :)

I am resetting my computer as it has been acting slow. I think it takes forever so hopefully will not have to do it anytime soon.  Wait I guess there was an easier way to do it so I did not have to reset it.

Last day of May!  Where does the time go?

Complaint:  Arghhhh..., last night I received an email invitation to an on-line auction.  Upon perusing the offerings I found a pair of Chinese jade trees.  I've been looking for one but they don't come up very often and if they do they're either junk or very expensive ($300 - $500+).  These don't look like the best quality nor do they look like cheap junk, and the suggested value is only $100 - $150.  Bidding starts at $50.  So, now I have to spend tonight glued to the computer watching for those trees to come to the block.  If I can get them for less than $100 I can scratch one more thing off of my bucket list but it plays havoc with my budget this month.   Here's hoping I'm outbid.

If I ever get a jade tree I'm planning on incorporating it into a little scene under a glass dome along with my little rose quartz hummingbird.  (Rose quartz body, jade beak, obsidian eyes, gold plated wire legs, amythyst geode mount, small agate geode nest with pearl eggs & one 14k gold egg)
