Mmmm G+ updates… new shiny updated lightbox rolling out 📷

Originally shared by Leo Deegan

Updated lightbox on Google+ Web

Hey folks, another update this week. Over the next few days, we’ll be rolling out a new version of the photo lightbox on Google+ Web. The new lightbox, which appears for photos that are part of single-photo posts (not yet for multi-photo posts), places a greater emphasis on the photo caption and comments.

There are a couple of reasons why I’m happy about this new lightbox. First, the EXIF data (found in the “Show information” menu item) brings back the display of the photo date; the previous lightbox displayed the post date. And second, clicking on the back arrow brings you to the post no matter how you arrive at the lightbox (people who found their way to a lightbox without being able to get to the post know what I’m talking about).

Look! a tiny Commodore64 -available early 2018. Sweet!

CCleaner

If you use ccleaner and you’re still on v5.33.6162 –update!

There has been an unauthorized modification of the CCleaner.exe binary, someone hacked it and “installed” a backdoor.

Piriform was able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm, the malware server (receiving data from infected clients) was taken down before any harm was done to customers, but an update will remove the backdoor completely.
