A few 100 mile away. Google Maps is one that's been getting me…

iPad & detected malware
My mother once again has messaged me to say she's getting a warning on one of her devices & should she click. This one looked a little more convincing than most but I still think it's bogus & I'm wondering how it's come about. Anyway at the top of the screenshot she sent me it says Apple security shieldsurfsafe.com Then…

However, recently, if I save a video, I can no longer view it, I get a message saying "HEVC video extension is required to display this file".

How on earth do you (legally) buy/download music these days?
I could hop on YouTube & acquire it that way but I want to do it via proper means. It's been that long since I bought any new music that the 'old ways' seem to no longer exist? I'm not interested in streaming at all so that rules out most of what search results are telling me. And I'm not looking at illegally getting music…

What's this cable?
Found on floor of mil's cupboard. She'd recently taken delivery of a second-hand mob scooter, but don't know if it's connected. Cable has a 'DC' style plug at one end as shown, small, around 2.5mm? The other end has a solid moulded block, with 'Tek' embossed on it. What the?! Cheers.
