HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

TORROX will, for the first time, hold a full day of activities to celebrate Halloween today: Along with neighbouring El Morche, Torrox will hold an elaborate program of terrifying activities aimed at both adults and children.
Dance performances by the dance groups of Estefanía and the musical group of the company Dani Cantos and La Bruja de Los Cuentos will be wowing the crowds with live performances and bouncy castles and craft workshops will be keeping the children entertained as they get their face painted in scary make up. Two parties that can be enjoyed simultaneously both in the Plaza de la Constitución Torrox and the Paseo Marítimo de El Morche from six o’clock in the afternoon.

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #79: How Big Tech Ruined The Internet. Americans will remember that when cable TV arrived on the scene they sold us on the new service with two promises, better color picture quality and no more commercials. After 18 months they introduced hourly commercial breaks, then 30 minutes, then 15, eventually there were commercials every 10 minutes. It’s done incrementally so we don’t complain until it is too late. Bait-and-switch in slow motion.
The internet world has just completed a similar transformation. The old internet worked on some basic principles. One critical principle was search results; search results for a website with info on a given topic should be based on two things, the amount of traffic a site receives and the freshest content. Sites with more of these 2 filters rose to the top of the first search page. It was assumed everyone wanted the latest, most popular info. It worked that way for the first 15yrs or so. But big tech giants bought up all the competition, resulting in the entire search business being dominated by just a few players, Google/Bing/Yahoo/Yandex. So naturally they took advantage and manipulated the entire internet to their financial advantage. They only needed to change one thing to convert the internet from a super library to a late stage cable TV money making machine, search results went from being statistically determined to algorithm determined. You knew those algorithms were gonna be trouble just from the sound of it, right?
How was this accomplished? First, they perfected User data collection. Big tech keeps a detailed profile on file for everyone who uses the internet regularly. They don’t even need your name, they use your internet behavior to identify you. If you thought sparse personal metadata – random chunks of data about data – was hard to mine for the purposes of identifying individuals, think again. MIT researchers have just shown that it only requires four data points (the dates and times of purchases) from a 30 day database of credit card purchases by 1.1 million people to identify 90 percent of them. It is even referred to as your digital fingerprint in the trade. Other data they use to ID you includes all the websites you visit, all search terms you check, your computer equipment info, ISP address, even the timing of your keystrokes and more.
Once that was all in place they pulled the old switcheroo. They replaced the search filters with a new method of determining search results. Now they’re using Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and algorithms as filters. So every time you enter a search term, the search engine first checks your profile, and the AI determines from that info what search results it can feed you that will loosely fit into you searched topic, but primarily generate them the most advertising income, accuracy and relevance be damned. If you search any popular topic in a major search engine and find on that first page of results any items more than a few years old, you probably are not even interested in that webpage. But AI has determined that something on that webpage will more likely get you to click on it and earn them a penny. So AI moves it up to the top results, despite other webpages offering the fresher, more popular info you would prefer.
Google was fined $2.7 Billion back in 2017 by the EU for manipulating search results. At issue for EU regulators was Google’s comparison shopping service, which Vestager believes the company had boosted unfairly by giving it “prominent placement” in search results — all the while having “demoted rival comparison shopping services.”
Web shopping sites do a similar trick called ‘dynamic pricing’. When you go to a site to check on a price, you will often find you receive a lower price if you use a old computer while in a low rent district. Using a new iMac on a fiber connection in an affluent area will often show significantly higher prices! Fact!

Computer news:
-The new Firefox browser update 70 is receiving many complaints. I suggest delaying this update for at least a week or 2.
-Apple GPS problem and forced obsolescence, again: Starting November 3, 2019, some iPhone and iPad models introduced in 2012 and earlier will require an iOS update to maintain accurate GPS location and keep the correct date and time. This, Apple claims, is due to the GPS time rollover issue that began affecting GPS-enabled products from other manufacturers on April 6, 2019. This is just another attempt by Apple to deflect responsibility for their forced obsolescence policies, as almost none of these designated devices are capable of installing the required updates! If you use an iPhone 5s or earlier it is now officially obsolete.
If your device is from 2013 or newer and you have the GPS problem, read this for a fix: https://thecellguide.com/how-to-fix-gps-that-is-not-working-on-your-apple-iphone-xr-location-bug-5192

Each bird lives in a space the size of a sheet of paper and never sees the sun. Their beaks are trimmed and they endure constant stress as they lay around 470 eggs in a 100-week period. Spain, along with Portugal, is the European leader of the so-called “furnished-cage” system: 82% of hens are in cages, compared to the average of 52% in the European Union. Indeed, in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden, caged hens make up just over 10% of the total.
According to the animal-rights group, the Animal Equality Foundation, six of Spain’s seven national supermarket chains – with the exception of Dia – have publicly committed to protecting animal welfare. Poza. Ester Muñoz Gil, the head of external relations at Guillén Eggs, one of Spain’s largest farms, says that all egg production is set to be cage-free by 2025. Full article

Recommendations

Canillas de Albaida welcomes campervans: Canillas de Albaida has allocated a specific area to enable campervans to park overnight without the fear of being fined or moved on. The parking space, the first to be implemented in the area, will have room for 22 caravans or campervans and covers around 2,500 square metres of land. The plan is to have the area completely adapted in three months, allowing it to be ready for the upcoming summer season.
The space has been designated as a ’parking area’ however and not a ‘camping area’ so tables, chairs and other camping accessories cannot be placed outside the vehicle, but it will provide a secure and picturesque area to spend the night before a day out in the national park.

Hearing Aids: I would like to say thank you to all the kind people who sent e-mails in response to my cry for help! Believe me, I am so grateful: I was resigned to flying back to the UK and beginning the long and arduous task of trying to sort things out there, but the manufacturer of my particular aids seems to have representation in Spain and even more wonderful has clinics fairly locally! So once I have managed to shake off a pretty grotty cold I shall make the appropriate arrangements. It occurs to me that perhaps a different type of aid could suit my circumstances better now that I am certainly in the position of skiing downhill re. age, so I shall have a quick recce of available types.
Thank you once again, everybody! Dianne/Torrox Park, diannelast@yahoo.co.uk

DoctorLaptop’s Computer Service Current Offers: All end 30Nov19.
-Upgrade your Windows 7 computer to Windows 10, €70. Your data is saved, all your 3rd party software is removed, all saved passwords will need to be re-entered. Some early Win 7 computers cannot be upgraded, or can only be upgraded to Windows 10 32-bit (not 64-bit). If it has a Pentium processor or was built before 2012 this may be the case.
-Update your Windows 10 v1803 computer to the current v1903 now before v19H2 comes out next month. If you fail to do this you may be unable to update to v19H2 directly thru the Windows Updater; it will then require you download a special updater tool from MS. I can do it overnight, €35.
-Add Linux to your Windows 7 computer. Keep your Win 7 for offline activities, use Linux for internet. You choose which system to boot when you power up (known as a “dual boot” setup). €50 to install most versions of Linux. I suggest a version of Linux called Zorin, it looks very much like Windows 7 and is very user friendly for most common online tasks like email, FB, Youtube, etc. https://zorinos.com/
If you are interested in ditching Windows and trying Zorin watch this video.
-All work by appointment. Make appts by phone, so we can discuss available times and what you need to bring.

Help hearing aids seem to be dying: Hi DigameXtra – My one and a half year old hearing aids, not the dangly ones, these live in my ear canal but they are NOT completely in-the-ear. Expensive ones, bought in the UK, manufactured by ReSound LINX 3D. No complaints until about 2 months ago when started to experience really weird interference, and the aid for my left ear conked out about a week ago. Please could someone help with address of local specialist repairer – hoping that I will not be directed to Malaga or further afield – would be fantastic if there was help available locally! Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get this resolved fairly swiftly – many thanks, diannelast@yahoo.co.uk

Recommendations

EU27 fail to agree length of Brexit extension for UK: The EU27 member states on Friday were unable to come to an agreement on the length of the Brexit extension Brussels would offer the UK, with the French reportedly the most reluctant to back a delay until January.
The EU’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier announced on Friday that EU nations had been unable to come to an agreement on the length of the next Brexit delay due to the fallout from Boris Johnson’s demand for a December election.

Designer Outlet Update: The opening of the new Malaga Designer Outlet, near the airport, was called off this week.

For Sale: Brand new Marks and Spencer Poncho/Cape. This item has just arrived as a birthday present but is sadly unsuitable for me as it has a high neck which I cannot wear. Brand new Marks and Spencer navy blue free size poncho/cape with turtle neck. 57% Viscose/49% Acrylic. M&S label still attached. As I don’t know how to reduce photo size I cannot show them on here but will email pictures and measurements on request. Ideal wear for these chillier days or would make a perfect Christmas present. I have the delivery note showing the item value of 34 euro. Asking 20 euro. (As the label is still attached and I have the delivery note it could be exchanged for the full cash value if anyone is going to the UK soon.)

Recommendations

Car leasing and scrapping: I’d be interested in any good or bad experiences, and overall impressions of good or bad value, with car leasing in Spain. As I will probably be scrapping my current car, I’d also appreciate any advice on recommended companies and the inevitable paperwork involved. All the best, Pete, Torrox

Bad Grandma:  The 76-year-old Spanish woman arrested 40 times for stealing gets caught again! Police discovered the elderly lady in possession of dozens of rental property keys, and determined she was responsible for multiple robberies in the southern city of Málaga. But when they took her fingerprints, they were shocked: Josefa had been arrested 40 times under eight different names since the 1970s!

To my person: My name is Kiki Trenew. I am practising Yoga since more than 17 years and I am teaching since 7 years. Yoga definitely changed my life. When I was 18 years old I suffered from back-pain getting worth with the years. Doctors in Germany wanted me to change my profession and thought about an operation on my spine. I didn’t want that and started trying out different therapies. After a couples of years I came to Yoga which definitely helped with my daily pain and after meeting the right teacher I found the right yoga for my back. With an Osteopath and my own yoga I came out of my pain completely and today I am feeling more fit with nearly 50 than with 18.
Wishing you all a wonderful week
light & love Kiki

Wine Man “Pancho” Kidnapped in Capetown!: Former tennis coach, Marbella ‘celebrity’ wine expert and businessman Pancho Campo was allegedly abducted at gunpoint on October 12 by two men posing as Uber drivers after leaving a get-together at the Dolphin Beach Hotel, near Table View. He was then taken on a hellish ride to the outskirts of the city. After the ordeal he was left on the side of the road, where he managed to attract the attention of a passing police vehicle at about 5am, after “walking for about 9km”.

Local Ultratrail Racing Legend “Super Paco” Dies: “Super Paco” became well known in the Malaga province and across many areas of Andalusia and Spain for his peculiar and particular style of running and running attire. His participation was noted by all because of his advanced age but also because of his peculiar running style and attire. Always donned with a straw hat, jeans and long-sleeved shirt. There was never any fancy running gear for Paco. His passing was reported Tuesday. Pic Credit: Facebook

What to do with those Windows 7 computers that quit receiving security patches 14 JAN 2020?
-Upgrade it to Win 10. Most Win 7 computers can now upgrade to Win 7 safely. Some of these will eventually develop problems when future Windows updates that are incompatible with the old hardware break them. But the majority are safe to upgrade, and if they eventually do quit, well you’ve certainly had your moneys worth of use. It is possible to save all your old data files when you upgrade, but you will lose all old programs. You will need to buy a new copy of Win 10 to do the upgrade, the free-giveaway version ended Dec 2018. Currently 120UK from MS-GB website. Some early Win 7 computers, from 2011 and earlier, will not allow Win 10 to install correctly.
-Continue using Win 7 after it stops receiving security patches in mid-January. Don’t do any banking, shopping, or confidential tasks on a unit in this condition. Email and social media are probably ok. To do this you will want to buy and install a premium Anti-Virus that continues to support Win 7. I suggest Malwarebytes AntiVirus Premium (https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/), install the 14 day free trial, then if it works ok, pay them for a year. Despite this protection you will still be vulnerable to some new “fileless” malware and ransomware. For that I suggest a free weekly online scan with this ESET tool (https://www.eset.com/int/home/online-scanner/). Start this scan before you go to bed and leave it running as the scan will likely take over 3hrs. The scan results will be waiting when you get back to the computer in the morning. In addition always keep your data backed up, with a technically obsolete unit connected to the internet you can never rely on it for safe data storage.
-Convert it to Linux and continue using it until the hardware wears out. For a Win 7 like experience in Linux check out Zorin Linux (https://zorinos.com/).
-Disconnect it from the internet and dedicate it to your home theater, music and media system.

I think It can be quite hard to meet people outside the boundaries of a formal club or shared interest, and have been thinking how nice it would be to develop a group of like-minded people who enjoy having ‘a good old natter’…. also known as enjoying the art of conversation! It would be an informal friendship group, with no regular meetings or fixed topics. … a kind of ‘short-cut to getting to know people. The idea would be that, say you have just arrived back, you could contact people to see who is around and wants to meet for a coffee or a copa simply to have that ‘good old natter’.
Ideally I would like to get those who express interest together to talk about things in a bit more detail, but I have no idea how many (if any!) of you are likely to be interested. So at this stage I propose that you get in touch with me by email, saying where you live, and I’ll take it from there. I am in Nerja.
Looking forward to hearing from potential fellow Natterboxers!
