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.

Interpreter: The holidays are over and hospitals and health centers are back to full strength again. So, that appointment you have been waiting for, will soon be arriving in your inbox, mailbox or telephone.
Whilst most doctors speak a little English, they much prefer and in some cases, insist, that you have an interpreter with you. That could be me!
I was a volunteer in the hospital for fifteen years and now I help people at various hospitals and health centers from Malaga to Nerja. I charge a flat, reasonable fee. I don’t charge by the hour.
AND I provide transport if needed.

Spain will start injecting the fourth dose against COVID-19 on September 26:
– The fourth dose against COVID-19 will begin to be administered in Spain on September 26, as reported by the Ministry of Health. Vaccination will begin in residences and in the first place those over 80 years of age will be vaccinated.
– The Ministry has also reported that, this Friday, the first batch of doses adapted to the omicron variant will arrive in our country, which will be key to fighting the advance of the virus next autumn when temperatures drop. The new consignment is going to be distributed to the autonomous communities next week.
– Likewise, the Public Health Commission has agreed that this year’s flu vaccination will begin on October 17 and, according to the Ministry, its start will take place “depending on the availability and epidemiological circumstances of the different communities and cities autonomous”.

ANDALUCIA
Over-80s in Andalucía will be given the fourth Covid jab and the flu vaccine at the same time: The vaccines should be adapted to combat the new variants of the virus and will start to be administered at health centres in the first or second week of October. The idea is to cut down on extra work for medical staff and means that elderly people will only have to make one trip to their health centre instead of two. Full article:

The pound has fallen to a 37-year low against the dollar: After Liz Truss’s first full day as Prime Minister, the pound sank to its lowest level against the US dollar since 1985.
– The latest exchange rate published by the Bank of England, $1.1467 per pound sterling on 7 September, is lower than the depths plumbed during the turbulent first weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and far lower than anything experienced during the 2008-09 financial crisis.
– Though the pound briefly fell to $1.1492 in March 2020, it stayed below $1.17 for only a single day. As of 7 September, the pound has remained below that benchmark for seven consecutive working days.
– The pound has lost 15 per cent of its value against the dollar so far this year, and 29 per cent of its value since the UK voted to leave the European Union in June 2016.

EUROPE
ECB hikes interest rates by record 75bp and slashes growth forecasts:
– Lagarde explains that today’s 75 basis-point interest rate hike is a “major step”. It will frontload the transition from the prevailing highly accommodative level of policy rates towards levels that will return inflation to 2% in an timely way.
– Lagarde also explains that the ECB expects to raise interest rate further to dampen demand, and guard against a persistent upward shift in inflation expectations.
– She then explains that the ECB has lifted its inflation forecasts and slashed its growth projections. Full article: https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2022/sep/08/markets-pound-uk-energy-relief-package-inflation-ecb-rate-rise-business-live

Facebook Engineers- “We Have No Idea Where We Keep All Your Personal Data Or Who Has Access To It”:
– In March, two veteran Facebook engineers found themselves grilled about the company’s sprawling data collection operations in a hearing for the ongoing lawsuit over the mishandling of private user information stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
– The hearing, a transcript of which was recently unsealed, was aimed at resolving one crucial issue: What information, precisely, does Facebook store about us, and where is it? The engineers’ response will come as little relief to those concerned with the company’s stewardship of billions of digitized lives: They don’t know. “I don’t believe there’s a single person that exists who could answer that question,” replied Eugene Zarashaw, a Facebook engineering director. “It would take a significant team effort to answer that question.”
– In the March 2022 hearing, Zarashaw and Steven Elia, a software engineering manager, described Facebook as a data-processing apparatus so complex that it defies understanding from within. The hearing amounted to two high-ranking engineers at one of the most powerful and resource-flush engineering outfits in history describing their product as an unknowable machine.
– The special master at times seemed in disbelief, as when he questioned the engineers over whether any documentation existed for a particular Facebook subsystem. “Someone must have a diagram that says this is where this data is stored,” he said, according to the transcript. Zarashaw responded: “We have a somewhat strange engineering culture compared to most where we don’t generate a lot of artifacts during the engineering process. Effectively the code is its own design document often.” He quickly added, “For what it’s worth, this was terrifying to me when I first joined as well.”
– “We do not have an adequate level of control and explainability over how our systems use data, and thus we can’t confidently make controlled policy changes or external commitments such as ‘we will not use X data for Y purpose,’” a leaked 2021 document read.
– The fundamental problem, according to the engineers in the hearing, is that Facebook’s sprawl has made it impossible to know what it consists of anymore; the company never bothered to cultivate institutional knowledge of how each of these component systems works, what they do, or who’s using them. There is no documentation of what happens to your data once it’s uploaded, because that’s just never been something the company does, the two explained. (How could this possibly have happened? Here is a hint. Super-computers running Artificial Intelligence (AI) can calculate faster, and recognize much more complex patterns, than a roomful of human brains. All of this make perfect sense to AI. Only AI is capable of understanding all the inter-relationships. Fakebook has become Zuckerberg’s Frankenstein. That’s why Zuck has moved on, he’s now focused on the Metaverse, lest he be consumed by his creation that he no longer controls. -Ed.)

Apple updates its AppleCare+ support service to offer unlimited repairs, but retains high co-pays:
– Apple will no longer limit how frequently AppleCare+ owners can pay Apple for supported product repairs. As spotted by MacRumors yesterday, the company updated the AppleCare+ subscription support service to offer “unlimited” repairs across its current product line. That’s much more flexible than the two repairs per year previously offered.
– According to the fine print, this only covers “physical damage from handling due to unexpected and unintentional events.” And there are associated service fees. Fixing broken glass on an iPhone, for example, will cost you $29 in addition to your monthly subscription fee. And you can pay $299 for fixing accidental Mac damage, on top of the unit’s subscription cost. (Evidently I have been way undercharging for Mac Repairs! -Ed.)

Fakebook Influence Across Internet Diminishing:
– The disappearing login is the latest sign of Facebook’s diminishing influence on the internet following more than a decade of spectacular growth. In the past year, the company’s business has been beset by Apple’s iOS privacy change, which made it harder to target ads, a deteriorating economy, competition from short-video service TikTok, and reputational damage after a whistleblower leaked documents showing Facebook knew of the harm caused by many of its products.
– Until about a month ago, shoppers on Dell’s website looking for a new laptop could log in using their Facebook credentials to avoid creating a new username and password. That option is now gone.
– Dell isn’t alone. Other big brands, including Best Buy, Ford Motor, Pottery Barn, Nike, Patagonia, Match and Amazon’s video-streaming service Twitch have removed the ability to sign on with Facebook. It’s a marked departure from just a few years ago, when the Facebook login was plastered all over the internet, often alongside buttons that let you sign in with Google, Twitter or LinkedIn.
– Jen Felch, Dell’s chief digital and chief information officer, said people stopped using social logins, for reasons that include concerns over security, privacy and data-sharing.
