It’s not just CrowdStrike updates that cause global problems. It’s also Brave browser updates, or is it the LastPass update? I don’t know which one, but it has caused problems globally. True, I did a search and the issues have come from all over. It’s a real bummer because I like Brave. It’s a Chrome clone without the tracking stuff from Google. I can isolate one workspace from another, which means that plugins and bookmarks are not shared unless you want them to be. I like LastPass and have ALL my passwords in there. I don’t remember them, how can you when many of them are fourteen characters of random letters, numbers, and symbols? It’s only been the last few years that I’ve implemented more sensible unique passwords that I can remember for every site. The challenge for me is which one do I change? Brave or LastPass? I can’t operate without my passwords so it’ll have to be Brave that goes. I can’t use DuckDuckGo as my working browser because it is so secure that I cannot add any plugins. It’s great for YouTube videos, though, with no third-party ads during the video. That makes it easy to screenshot a video without having to edit out the crap. I might try Opera or Firefox again, as they may have reduced the bloat. Failing that, it’s gotta be Safari. Here comes another spate of “We don’t recognise you on this machine” B.S. We are currently in Charters Towers and are leaving for Hughenden tomorrow to begin the dinosaur trail. Two nights there and on to Winton to see the dinosaur stampede. The nights are getting cooler as we get further inland because the sky is clear of clouds, and the days are not hot enough for the ground to store enough heat to radiate overnight. It is winter here, so the days reach the high 20s, and the nights drop to 10C. Back home, the days are peaking in the mid-10s with wind and rain. We are nearly 2,000 km from home by air or 2,500 km by the shortest road trip. When we return in late August, there will probably still be enough cold, wet days for us to enjoy. I trust that some of you are following along on the map, Google will help you. Regards, P.S. How did you go finding a side hustle from the last email? I found a beauty. I discovered that InVideo now allows you to clone your voice and use it in the videos. It’s not perfect. I’m sure ElevenLabs will do a better job, but it’s pretty good for the money and the additional tools. Here’s the kicker, though. You can link ChatGPT to InVideo, which means you can do your research in ChatGPT and create a video in InVideo by calling the InVideo GPT. Here’s a tip: open and log into InVideo first, then open ChatGPT in another tab. You’ll find things go much faster that way. You can test it out here https://go.wm-tips.com/invideo. |
