Two versions of the news?

I thought I was a guy called Frank? Or am I ATW fembot?

I can't cope with the multiple personalities you are all giving me.

*Shudder*

I wouldn't wish that on sasguru

You were talking to yourself in the mirror again.

Perhaps we should just buy the cheapest equipment available, less likely to have a lot of sophisticated features that can be hacked. Or maybe I'll just go into the attic and dig out my old ZX81, sure that will be safe.

Funnily enough about 2 years ago I was helping some old lady and we were discussing webcams.

Anyway both of us had a piece of tape over them on our laptops because we had heard of the rumours.

Funnily enough I watched an episode of Black Mirror the other night about people being blackmailed after being recorded by their webcams, doing things you can probably guess.

It made me wonder how much I can trust that light to show me that my webcam is active.

By definition the printed papers are already way out of date by the time they're printed, whereas online news is only a little out of date.

I sometimes look through one of the papers in the pub (sometimes even the nutcase ones), and it often annoys me that I can never find the same story online that I read about the evening before.

Browsed through the BBC text news while chomping my breakfast this morning as usual and it said many of the papers were headlining WikiLeak's exposure of hacking of our TVs etc. by the CIA and MI5. The BBC shows it as the main news on the front pages of the Metro, Times, Guardian, Sun and Mirror here:

Newspaper headlines: Smart TV 'spying' and Brexit Budget - BBC News

But if I go online, only the Times gives it the same prominence. It's lower key on the Metro and I'm still trying to find it at all on the others.

Maybe that's why old farts are more right wing, they read real paper newspapers which are much rantier than the online ones.

PS The government must be hacking my computer!

Up till press time the stories can change, (hence hold the front page) the one given to the BBC the night before is not the one that may hit the presses at midnight. So the BBC is reporting on what they have. A story is driven down by others such as Prince Harry's waxing.
