It’s Super Bowl Sunday, too late now to buy a big screen TV from the interwebs. And the way TVs are becoming more complicated, it might be too late to buy it from the B&M store too, because the setup, connections, calibration, optimization, etc take time and there’s not enough time to get it all done before the SuperBow festivities begin.

PSA: if you are using an old TV set to watch the SuperBowl and you think you see Tom Brady on your Superbowl television, don’t throw it away, it’s not ghosting from previous SuperBowls, it’s the Tampa Bay Brady!

Speaking of PSAs, here’s a real PSA, Google has patched an actively exploited zero-day issue with the Chrome browser version 88 and it recommends immediate updating. Details via Techmeme… The last time I checked this applied to the Windows, Mac and Linux versions of the web browser… Neither Google Play nor ChromeOS have shown me updates pending… Eric Lawrence did some digging on the twitter…
