I sideloaded it onto my Kindle. I thought it was failing to updats apps maybe because it was corrupted when the Kindle did a major system upgrade, or maybe google play was out of date. It's very interesting to hear someone else is having problems.

I first suspected hacking as I lost connection to fbuk, still not regained, so changed all my gmail passwords. Some of the email accounts misbehaved but I think have all come back to roost at last. The problem is not my carrier - the problem occurs through both main carriers.

@FrayedBear Maybe they let security certs expire? Surely their dns isn't screwed up?

@bingst I've found a tedious way round it by looking up the app in Play store to check if it needs updating - if it does I can still update from the app page in Playstore

@bingst dns?

@FrayedBear Domain Name System. It's a record of domain names and their internet protocol numbers. A domain name registrant places records of these on a domain name server, which is picked up by other domain name servers and eventually it propogates to all domain name servers. This is why it can take a while for a change to reach everyone.

@bingst The one that the fuss is currently about because it has been privatised which may result in .org used by many charities being charged for use of .org?

@bingst I'm still not getting Playstore checking for app updates. I'm beginning to wonder if automatic updating has changed in one of the recent Playprotect or Playstore updates.

@FrayedBear I haven't heard of that recent fuss.

@bingst Looks like I've deleted the email that I received - it was seeking donations! If it comes to hand again I'll message it to you.

Posted by FrayedBearAnyone using Android 12? Are you having problems with the Gmail app no longer working along with the PlayStore?

Posted by ScubaWagsWow, Windows 11 will have tiling windows. No one has ever done that before...

Posted by ScubaWagsThis made me giggle

Posted by OldMetalHeadThis is quite interesting. I knew Ubuntu would be high, but I honestly didn't expect it to be that high.

Posted by ScubaWagsApparently it's penguin awareness day today... I assume that must include Tux
