Jottings from SW Surrey. This used to be mainly about energy but now I've retired it's just an old man's rant. From 23 June 2016 'til 12 December 2019 Brexit dominated but that is now a lost cause. So, I will continue to point out the stupidities of government when I'm so minded; but you may also find the odd post on climate change, on popular science or on genealogy - particularly my own family.

One More Thing to Worry About
Do you use a voice assistant to control any of your household devices? A recent hijack demonstration has shown that it's possible to take over an assistant using ultrasound signals - i.e. something that you and I cannot hear.

However, it just shows that we need to be thinking widely about cyber-security at all times.
