    Oh, why's that? Did something happen or is there a particular feature of major cities in the US that you don't like?

    Whenever there is polarized debate in the media, part of the hype is about getting viewers or readers. There is also potential for an agenda, such as magnifying an issue or, conversely, sweeping it under the carpet because it is inconvenient. With many of these debates, I think the best thing...

    Little Snitch certainly started out that way, but it's had the ability to block both outgoing and incoming communications for some time now. I've used it in the past to block specific ads, for example. Little Snitch has also become a lot more friendly in recent years, although it could have...

    Thanks for raising this, Randy. That's very helpful to know. I might smell a rat anyway because I don't use McAfee, but I should relay this to others I know who might encounter this too. I'm wondering if another solution might be to determine the origins of this notification and block it via...
