Complaints over lack of music in Nerja: A Nerja musician has claimed that the council is preventing live music. Amado Pantoja, who plays in a Nerja band, has said that the council has made it harder for musicians to perform music. He said: “With the pandemic, musicians are in a critical situation. We hoped to recover this summer but the council withdrew our permits to play in the street in July.”
Councillor for Commerce Javier Lopez said the council did allow live music but that a lack of staff had created problems. Full article: https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2021/09/26/complaints-over-lack-of-music-in-nerja/

Windows Issues Warning Regarding Installing Windows 11 On Unsupported Devices (computers with pre-2018 processors):
When Microsoft announced its Windows 11 operating system would be released Oct 5th, it made it very clear that the operating system was designed for devices that meet the operating system’s system requirements.
Recently, Microsoft added a new prompt to the setup of Windows 11 that acts as a waiver if the device does not meet the minimum system requirements of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. See in pic below.
(Remember, Win 10 is supported until 2025, so there is no need to update older Win 10 computers. -Ed.)
