Wow…that’s going to take a while to get through but it certainly looks worthwhile. My first thought was “what a cool background!”.

Good article but I didn’t like the fact that the website requested to use my camera! :frowning:

Weird. I didn’t get that request.

Neither did I - time for a malware scan and a review of your browser extensions?

Strangely enough, it didn’t ask me this time when I checked it.

No malware on this system. I’m super cautious about downloads etc. :wink:
