News & Articles

(dailymail.co.uk) ‘You couldn’t make this up!’: Furious backlash after it emerges that Google has secretly amassed healthcare data on millions of people; AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE…Google just reached a deal to acquire FitBit: (Google has been caught in USA, but do you really believe Google restricts it’s data abuses exclusively to the USA? How long will it be till your Fitbit is feeding live data to your health insurance provider, under cover of offering you discounts for good readings of course?-Ed.)
Lawyers, medical professionals and tech experts have reacted with a mixture of horror and fury after it emerged that Google has been secretly acquiring sensitive medical data on millions of people without their knowledge or consent.
Analysts called for an immediate change to privacy laws after Google and Ascension, the healthcare organization it has partnered with, boasted that the scheme is completely legal. There were big-tech pundits defending the data snatch and privacy invasion  as “community health progress” on TRE Radio and other media networks yesterday.
Dr. Robert Epstein, an author, medical researcher and former editor-in-chief at the respected journal Psychology Today, summed up the mood when he tweeted: ‘You can’t make this s*** up. #BeAfraid.’

Apple Mobile Device Update Alert!: iOS 13.2.2 causes battery havoc- short life and overheating!
Apple’s iOS 13.2.2 update, which was pushed out to fix a bug in the previous update that essentially broke multitasking on the iPhone and iPad, has itself bought a new and annoying bug to the iPhone. Battery life is now reportedly so bad that one can watch their battery life ticking down while browsing the web, composing an email, or using Twitter. The problem doesn’t seem to be down to specific apps, but instead seems to be a widespread operating system problem. Refrain from installing this update to iOS 13.2.2 until it is fixed; ignore the warnings in the press last week that encouraged users to do this update asap. The problem the previous update fixes is less critical for most users than this new battery problem. Photo:ZDNet

Good News for the Mobility Impared: In the latest episode of Smart Regions, new electric tricycles that resemble Roman chariots have begun appearing in France. They are calling the vehicle the “Benur” and the project is backed by the EU’s Cohesion Policy. The vehicles can also be pedalled with the rider’s hands and are already a hit with people with impaired mobility.
To begin with, the vehicles will be located, on two sections of Viarhona: Miribel-Jonage and Tain-Tournon. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region wants to be the ‘flagship’ territory for this mobility project. ViaRhôna project manager Yves Ronot is excited by the potential of the inclusive vehicle.

Spanish Election Results, Updated 02:00 Monday: Socialists win repeat Spanish election, far-right Vox becomes third-biggest force in Congress.
The Socialist Party (PSOE) of caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez won the highest number of seats but fell short of an absolute majority at the repeat general election in Spain on Sunday.
With around 99% of the vote counted, the PSOE had taken 120 seats – three fewer than the result it managed at the April 28 general election. The conservative Popular Party (PP) won 87 seats – a major gain from the 66 seats it secured in April, its worst result ever. But far-right group Vox saw the most significant rise, jumping from 24 to 52 seats, to become the third-largest party in Spain’s lower house, the Congress of Deputies.
Unidas Podemos – a coalition of United Left and anti-austerity group Podemos – retained 35 of the 42 seats it won at the last election, while the center-right party Ciudadanos (Citizens) suffered a crushing defeat, losing more than 40 seats to be left with just 10. The inconclusive results mean that Spain is facing more political uncertainty, as neither the left-wing or right-wing blocs have the 176 seats needed for an absolute majority in the 350-seat Congress.
Since 2017, Spanish politics has been defined by a lack of parliamentary majorities and the inability of politicians to reach governing deals. Sunday’s vote was the fourth general election Spain has held in as many years.  . https://elpais.com/elpais/2019/11/10/inenglish/1573407794_574125.html

Inside Amazon’s plan for Alexa to run your entire life: Speaking with MIT Technology Review, Rohit Prasad, Alexa’s head scientist, has now revealed further details about where Alexa is headed next. The crux of the plan is for the voice assistant to move from passive to proactive interactions. Rather than wait for and respond to requests, Alexa will anticipate what the user might want. The idea is to turn Alexa into an omnipresent companion that actively shapes and orchestrates your life. This will require Alexa to get to know you better than ever before. Photo:Amazon

Apple’s New Credit Card Has Launched And You Can’t Have One: The Apple Credit Card, created in partnership with Goldman Sachs and MasterCard, combines excellent rewards with a consumer-friendly app. It offers 3% cash back on all Apple purchases, 2% cash back on all purchases made on the card through Apple Pay, and 1% cash back on other purchases. The card charges no fees, offers daily cash back, and works with the Apple Pay app designed to help consumers understand the consequences of paying off a credit card over time. While Apple Pay Has Reached The EU, sadly, there’s still no word on when Apple Card might be available outside of the USA. When Apple debuted Apple Pay in the USA it was 5yrs before it was available in the EU. The Apple Card debuted in the USA in August. Wonder how long it takes to get to the EU? https://www.cultofmac.com/659030/apple-pay-expands-reach-europe/   Photo:Apple

Malaga Malware Update: A total of 28,936 devices with internet access are affected in Malaga by some kind of cybersecurity problem. The data from the Institute of Cybersecurity places Malaga province second in Andalucía for the number of infections on internet capable devices.
According to the latest Google report, ‘Panorama actual de la Ciberseguridad en España’, an extensive document resulting from a long investigation in which several conclusions stand out, among them, amazingly, that three out of every 10 IT managers in SME’s (small to medium enterprises) in Spain are unaware of the concept of cybersecurity!?! The report says: “Almost 3 million companies in Spain have little or no protection against hackers.” In addition it says: “Two-thirds of Spanish companies lack enough employees to combat cyberspace threats.” Full details at: https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2019/11/06/be-internet-secure/

Opening and recruiting: Dear creative people, My name is Yolanda de Wilde Gijzemijter and I am the owner of La Yola concept store in Vélez-Malaga, which will open its doors within a few weeks. This type of store is becoming increasingly well known in northern Europe and there are already a number of them in northern Spain.
In the store I sell gorgeous (handmade) original products from (small) entrepreneurs/webshops/illustrators who would like to sell their products in a physical store. Think of baby and children’s clothing, trendy modern jewelry, (hand) bags, home accessories, lamps, stationary, decoration, pillows, skin care products etcetera.
The concept of the store is actually quite simple. You can rent sales space for a monthly fee. These sales areas are for example a shelf in a closet, a sideboard, display case, table, wall rack and so on, there are many possibilities. The space and price will be discussed. As we present your products attractively, promote them (online) and wrap them up nicely if desired, La Yola asks 10% commission on the sold items. Once a month we pay you the proceeds of the products sold. And you pay us the rent for the agreed space every month. That’s it!
I am actively present on social media and will also promote your brand. I use a real-time sales / cash register system so you can keep track of your own sales.
There are still spaces available, so if you would like to offer your products in a real shop and get extra promotion, then I would very much like to get in touch with you! Please send me some pictures of your products, a description of them and some information about yourself to yodewilde@gmail.com or contact me via WhatsApp (+34)600 79 43 25. And feel free to ask all your questions!
Besides, I am Dutch and also speak Spanish, English and German.

Vipassana and Loving Kindness Meditations: With all my heart I invite you to experience the goodness of meditation. In these crazy times all beings strive for peace and for love. Are these qualities still exist in the world, in us? How do we find them and where? What does it mean to be happy and to love unconditionally? Do I deserve it?
Where does health comes from?
Vipassana and Loving Kindness.
Awareness and Unconditional Love Duet.
Vipassana means insight, awareness, clear vision. It is a journey of self healing by observing. We observe our thoughts, sounds and feelings without judgement without reacting to them. WE JUST ARE.
The Loving Kindness educes, spreads and sends unconditional love form every cell of our body into and onto ourself and others.
Benefits of regular practice with the group:
• you will learn the techniques of calming the mind
• you will feel peace, and joy
• you will manage your emotions better
• strengthen the nervous system
• strengthen willpower and concentration
• you connect with nature, with yourself, with the group
• you enter a state of relaxation that you can not experience alone
Everyone is welcome, even if you never had any previous experience with meditation. You can join us on any Wednesday you like. You do not have to sit in the lotus pose, you can lie, sit on a chair or up against the wall.
What to bring: You, and yourself, open heart and mind, water, karimate or yoga mat (if you know you will be laying down), cushion, warm clothes, blanket.

RANSOMWARE Returns To Spain: VIRAL Story DOMINATING The Spanish Tech and Business News Today. If you own a business and do not have robust, professionally managed IT security in place you are taking a large risk. Daily backup may help you recover, but many smaller companies without a dedicated IT department don’t even do weekly backups! Can you afford to be locked out of your data? Can you afford to pay ransom? Everis, one of the largest IT consulting companies in Spain, suffered a targeted ransomware attack on Monday, forcing the company to shut down all its computer systems until the issue gets resolved completely. The attackers asked Everis for a €750,000 ($835,923) ransom to get a decryption key to unlock their files as reported by bitcoin.es. Spain’s largest radio station SER (Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión) confirmed it had also been hit, saying it had suffered an attack “of the ransomware type” which has had a serious and widespread effect on all of all its computer systems.”
Here are some articles explaining the very serious situation. If you need fast, affordable help to get your business IT security up to current standards call DoctorLaptop on 675 993 069 (no calls before 11am answered, missed calls returned asap). I can test your local office network and wifi and internet/router connections to resolve any weak points, do a cloud interface security analysis of all cloud accounts, and check individual computers for infection and adequate protection. I can also review your data handling protocols for vulnerabilities. And please, don’t rely on a single free antivirus app to protect a valuable business. In today’s world all businesses need to budget for internet security and computer maintenance.

Public Health Care Tragedy, Why Second Opinions Are Necessary: Spanish Health Service slammed for cancer death. Administrative Court No. 7 of Malaga has awarded a family €51,000 after a 38 year old woman was repeatedly misdiagnosed by medical staff which would eventually lead to her death from cancer. After 2 years, finally fed up of the lack of proper diagnosis she went to a private clinic where she immediately was given an x-ray and MRI scan which revealed a large cancerous mass on her spine!
During the trial it was stated that the patient underwent seven consultations until the correct diagnosis was made, “There was an unjustified delay in the diagnosis of the disease. The action of the public health contrasts with that of a primary care doctor to whom the patient went privately.”

Have Pirate IPTV Sellers on YouTube Lost Their Minds?: How Do They Get Away With Openly Offering Illegal Services On Youtube?
For followers of piracy and copyright infringement issues few developments fall into the ‘WOW’ category anymore.
When there are people in the UK using pirate IPTV services to access the BBC because it’s cheaper than paying for a licence, and can be setup in just 10 minutes, you know the digital entertainment market is in an untenable situation. Strangely, UK ‘Pirate IPTV Users’ favorite channels are “Free-to-Air”!!! https://torrentfreak.com/uk-pirate-iptv-users-favorite-channels-are-free-to-air-190915/
When La Liga distributed snartphone apps to show scores to fans last year, that secretly identify sports bars showing pirated footy matches, we knew the piracy war was heating up. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/12/732157537/spains-soccer-league-fined-for-using-app-to-spy-on-fans-in-fight-to-curb-piracy?t=1572909344450
With torrent and streaming services constantly getting sued or raided, often paying huge fines that only encourage the police to do more raids, we can be sure the attack on pirate content is not easing.
After the aggressive military-style raid and arrest by normally mellow New Zealand police on data-storage tycoon Kim Dotcom hit the headlines, pretty much anything is possible. https://www.wired.com/2012/08/kim-dotcom-raid/
Over the past couple of years, however, something so bizarre – so ridiculous – has been developing on sites like YouTube to make even the most outspoken of pirates raise an eyebrow. It’s the rise of the pirate IPTV seller and reseller ‘celebrities’ who are using the video platforms in openly promoting their businesses like a regular company might, with no attempt to disguise themselves. As everyone knows, anonymity is an essential component of successful piracy. So how and why is this happening? Do they know something we don’t know?

H&M to close its Vialia and Féliz Sáenz sites in Malaga and reopen in a combined store: Swedish clothing retailer H&M is to shut its two stores in the centre of Malaga and open a new two-floor site in the city’s revamped Centro Comercial Larios covered shopping mall.
The sites that will close are in Plaza Félix Sáenz, near the city’s main market, and at the Vialia mall, at the city’s main railway station.
The company has said that the change “is a natural development” and that staff will be relocated to other branches in Malaga province. The chain has already started liquidating stock at the two branches.

How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your pics into a single collage pic by using this free (you need to provide email) online tool.

Telling friends about DigameXtra: Please do not hand out the submission email to persons who are not already Digamextra subscribers!! ONLY GIVE NEW READERS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS www.digameXtra.com!! Be sure to tell them they must subscribe and read the Submissions Rules before sending in submissions!

Problem With Sunday Issue: Dear readers, I must apologize for publishing an incomplete Sunday issue. I was typing too fast and accidentally hit the Publish button when I should have hit the Preview button, thus publishing an incomplete draft rather than the finished issue. All submissions left out of the Sunday issue have been included in today’s issue. -Editor.

Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission.

Voter registration: Calling all UK citizens eligible to vote in the UK General Election! Did you know that if you have been living abroad for less than 15 years you can still vote in the UK General Election on the 12th December.
But to do this you have to register to vote. You can get a proxy vote – go to the voter registration site. Proxy votes are better than postal votes because you can’t count on the postal service to get your vote counted in time!  https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Prema Bar: I went to the Prema Bar cafe in Torre del Mar (Waterfront area Copo) for lunch. What a nice surprise! I ate the delicious lasagna, completely homemade, cook with fresh, healthy ingredients, fresh pasta rolled by hand. Very very good! Even the bruschetta was tasty and appetizing, prepared with tomatoes, garlic and basil from their vegetable garden, organic bread produced with sourdough. And finally a delicious chocolate cake, always homemade! I digested everything very well! Also in the room, there is a corner used as a shop, where you can buy organic products at 0Km and various seasonal vegetables from the garden of Prema. Peaceful environment and very friendly owners. I highly recommend specialties to lasagna lovers!
I saw that they have a facebook page @premacafeteriaheladeria

-Windows 10 Has Manditory Updates! The official end date for support for Windows 10 v1803 (the March 2018 Update) is November 12, 2019. Microsoft is urging people to make the jump to v1903; v1909 is due out any day now (a new designation will start being used, it will be called v19H2 for Year 2019 Second Half).

“You’re currently running a version of Windows that’s nearing the end of support. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 now to get the latest features and security improvements.”
Note: If a computer is from mid 2012 or earlier and you’ve installed Windows 10 and this update breaks something, all is not lost. You have 10 days to go to Settings/Recovery and roll back to the previous version that was working.
