NOTICE!
Submissions for posting in sections below
must include this info or they will be returned !!!
Sender's First Name / Nearest Town
Note: You may additionally include a location to meet or pickup,
but your location is required in any case. If selling an item from a location different from where you reside, you must include both.
For example: "...Buyer collects in Nerja, John/Malaga"
Why? DigameXtra covers a large area. So, for example, readers in Motril are unlikely to make recommendations, or call about most for-sale items, if they know you are located in Coin. As for including both locations in for-sale posts, the buyer needs to know where to collect the item, but they will also want to know where you are from in case there is a problem. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Putin threatens to tear up fragile Ukraine grain deal AND cut off all deliveries of gas, oil, and coal to Europe in bellicose speech:
– Vladimir Putin has said he wants to revise a fragile international agreement to allow the export of Ukrainian grain in a move that could threaten the deal and revive fears of a renewed Russian naval blockade in the Black Sea. Putin claimed that grain leaving Ukraine was being exported not to poor countries, but instead to the EU. He claimed that only two ships out of 87 had gone to developing countries.
– The divisive statements came during a speech in which Putin also threatened to cut off all deliveries of gas, oil, and coal to Europe if they imposed a price cap on Russian energy imports. Recalling a Russian fairytale, he said that Europeans could “freeze like the wolf’s tail”. In his speech, he portrayed Russia as the victim, saying that western sanctions had “replaced the pandemic” as a threat to the world order. “I am speaking of the west’s sanctions fever, with its brazen, aggressive attempt to impose models of behaviour on other countries, to deprive them of their sovereignty and subordinate them to their will,” he said.
– On the threat to stop delivering oil and gas, Putin said: “Will there be any political decisions that contradict the contracts? Yes, we just won’t fulfil them. We will not supply anything at all if it contradicts our interests,” he said, according to a Reuters translation of his remarks. “We will not supply gas, oil, coal, heating oil – we will not supply anything.”

EU plans to cap Russian gas price as Putin warns West of winter freeze:
– The European Union proposed a price cap on Russian gas on Wednesday after President Vladimir Putin threatened to cut off all energy supplies if it took such a step, raising the risk of rationing in some of the world’s richest countries this winter.
– The escalating standoff could drive up sky-high European gas prices further, adding to already eyewatering bills EU governments are paying to stop their energy providers collapsing and prevent cash-strapped customers freezing in the cold months ahead.

Austria limits the price of electricity to 10 cents per kWh for households until mid 2024: Austria has decided to limit the country’s electricity prices for a period of 18 months to help households deal with high energy prices, the Executive reported on Wednesday. Specifically, the country’s government has decided to set a price of 10 cents per kWh for the first 2,900 kWh of consumption by each household. This figure represents 80% of the average consumption of Austrian households, as pointed out by the Austrian Chancellor, the Christian Democrat Karl Nehammer. “Nobody in Austria should not be able to cover their basic electricity needs,” the president said, explaining that the price cap will come into force in December 2022 and will last until mid-2024.

Tennis News- Nick Kyrgios goes berserk, breaking two rackets after U.S. Open defeat:
– Those who attended the Nick Kyrgios-Karen Khachanov U.S. Open quarterfinal match at Arthur Ashe Stadium were thoroughly entertained during Khachanov’s 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (7-3), 6-4 victory that ended early Wednesday morning.
– But truth be told, the packed house got the real show right after the match ended and both competitors shook the umpire’s hand. It was then when Kyrgios, who has a penchant for making a spectacle of himself, went absolutely ballistic and took out his anger on his rackets. The Australian bashed the racket in his hand until it broke, then calmly went to his bag, grabbed another racket, and proceeded to smash it as well.

TECH
Cybercriminals have Found Another Way To Bypass 2-Factor Security:
– A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) toolkit dubbed EvilProxy is being advertised on the criminal underground as a means for threat actors to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) protections employed against online services.
– The platform generates phishing links that are nothing but cloned pages designed to compromise user accounts associated with Apple iCloud, Facebook, GoDaddy, GitHub, Google, Dropbox, Instagram, Microsoft, NPM, PyPI, RubyGems, Twitter, Yahoo, and Yandex, among others.
– It’s offered on a subscription basis per service for a time period of 10, 20, or 31 days, with the kit available for $400 a month and accessed over the TOR anonymity network after the payment is arranged manually with an operator on Telegram. Attacks against Google accounts for a month, in contrast, cost up to $600.
– The development is further an indication that adversaries are upgrading their attack arsenal to orchestrate sophisticated phishing campaigns targeting users in a manner that can defeat existing security safeguards.

SPACE
Here’s Webb’s View of the Tarantula Nebula: The James Webb Space Telescope turned its detectors towards the Large Magellanic Cloud about 161,000 lightyears away to take a look at 30 Doradus, more commonly known as the Tarantula Nebula. JWST’s exceptional infrared view has now revealed thousands of never-before-seen young stars in this stellar nursery, as well incredible views of the wispy, dusty filaments and the impressive collection of massive older stars.
– There is so much detail in this image, if you download the full-sized version, you can pan and zoom around to see details on stars and the surrounding dust and gas. And there are even other, more distant galaxies dotting the background. If you have a big screen, even better, as it takes up over 14,000 x 8,000 pixels. Or, take a look at the video tour.
