Sorry for latest 'sqaunchy' edits[edit]
Five days ago I attempted to edit what I thought was results from a malware attack on Wikipedia: the addition of random words. So I extensively editted the intro. It turns out I was the victim, not Wikipedia. I had synced my Chrome browsers, spreading the virus to my phone and multiple computers, therefore though it was the webpage under attack, not me. (Embarrassing!) I'm not sure if undoing my edits would cause more damage, but if it would be better, please do so for me. Im afraid to do any further changes myself. The reference is apparently to Rick and Marty cartoon. Sorry and thank you for understanding. Cuvtixo (talk) 06:48, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Cuvtixo:Your revisions were reverted eighth days ago.
- By the way, what kind of computer virus adds the word “squanches” to Wikipedia articles? Interqwark 07:07, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Something like this application on the Chrome Store? Guy Harris (talk) 07:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- That’s what I was thinking! It had to be a Google Chrome extension. I used to have silly extensions like that mess up my wiki editing, so I had to remove them. I’m not sure how Cuvtixo installed this extension without realizing it, though. Interqwark 07:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- I knowingly installed it on my smartphone, not really understanding its only functionality was added random words, and quickly forgot it. It was through the 'Sync' of Chrome browsers it spread through my laptop, desktop, etc. Chrome treated it as a desirable extension instead of a nuisance. As far as my strong language 'malware' and 'virus': it 'reproduced' without my knowledge, the same way some biological viruses are mostly harmless, but will spread throughout a body or ecosystem. More importantly as I see it, it provides a model for which malicious users could spread a payload, a trojan or spyware. Someone could easily alter a version of this Android App, and add code to create password stealers or identity theft by allowing it to install on all devices that have Chrome and Chromium, or Firefox, and Mozilla's many variations. Minimal scripting is all that is needed to weaponize an extension, as long as Google doesn't police such 'fun' apps, it poses a danger. Therefore, rather than laugh about it as a dumb mistake or practical joke on me, I'm trying to raise a bit of an alarm. And, after all, it caused me a lot of time working to make edits then try and retrace all the edits I had made and erase them. It did not advertise it's presence, as a harmless joke extension should. It also could be even more easily altered to insert obscenities, names of celebrities or politicians. I could go on, but I may be adding to the problem but suggesting possibilities. I'm hoping the attention this Editing Talk is minimal so as not to give ideas to 'script kiddies,' but enough to cause some to think twice about such 'joke' extensions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuvtixo (talk • contribs) 02:10, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Latest release is 10.14, but when searching on Google: Latest release pops up as 10.13.6 2001:8003:861B:4E00:515D:B3A1:7C7E:1886 (talk) 07:15, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- That's not an edit request, it's just a general comment; you didn't even indicate whether the Google results came from Wikipedia. I've updated the one place in macOS that appeared to need an update, namely the table in macOS#Release history; whether that's the cause of the Google search results in question is another matter. Guy Harris (talk) 07:35, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a 'change X to Y' format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Danski454 (talk) 18:28, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
iTunes Support on Past OSX Releases[edit]
The software compatibility table that lists out the OSX releases and version support for various Apple provided applications should be updated for iTunes and OSX High Sierra. It currently says OSX releases 10.10 (Yosemite) through 10.13 (High Sierra) support iTunes 12.7
According to the apple support page for iTunes 12.8 it supports OSC 10.10.5 and higher which included all the above releaseshttps://support.apple.com/kb/DL1977?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I am currently running High Sierra on an old MacBookPro and running iTunes 12.8 just fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zipzot (talk • contribs) 22:52, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
