All four pages host a mixture of patriotic and agitational memes and a potpourri of news reports sourced from a single website that specialises in repackaging content stolen from mainstream and independent news organisations, including several from Australia.

The xenophobic content focuses on topics such as refugees, immigration, Muslims and Islam and free speech. The pages also take pot shots at politicians from Labor, the Greens and some moderate Liberals.

Facebook had data-sharing arrangements with more than 150 companies , according to a December report in the New York Times. The deals helped Facebook gain more users, according to the report, and its partners were able to access user data without obtaining consent. Many of the partnerships ended years ago, the Times noted, but the deals with Amazon and Apple were ongoing at the time of the story.

I got back home (before noon) and discovered that the Media PC was stuck in the middle of booting, with a message saying that the ASUS Bios had detected a power surge and had frozen the boot to protect the PC.

Hmm, I wonder if some of my issues with PCs turning themselves off might have something to do with power surges in the mains? That would explain why it's still happening. Maybe I need to get better powerboards.

Graphic card driver all installed and now running.

Graphic card driver all installed and now running. I think perhaps due to the fact it only has 1GB of video memory, I can only get 1920x1080 res max on the 4k Monitor. The previous card had 2GB of memory, but this one was half that one's price. . But that's OK. When I ran the monitor at top rez I had extreme difficulty in reading any menu text (especially old apps like Photoshop CS6).

Everything is crystal clear at this resolution, so I'm happy with that. And the viewers work now (as seen below at 1/2 size) and so does sound again.

Thinking back on what was happening on the PC before, it was turning itself off at random times, but more often when I had a high graphics usage. Perhaps it wasn't the GPU at all, but just a dying graphics card. That would explain the times when the screen was off but the computer seemed to be on. Anyway the replacement card will do for now, and I won't get a better one until I get a better PC, sometime - as Shakespeare would say - by and by....
