How to fix ‘This Connection Is Not Private’ Warning on Safari for Mac

CompuScoop Staff November 4, 2019 0

This article explains how you can fix the “this connection is not private” error in iOS and macOS Safari. You are seeing this message because the security check on the site certificate by Safari is failed. This could be about https vs. http. This is likely because the website’s SSL certificate is missing, expired or not issued by a legitimate certificate authority.

Safari will say ‘Not Secure’ when the website you visit does not use the HTTPS protocol.

You may get error messages when you are trying to visit websites. Safari has built-in security features to protect you against deceptive, harmful and suspicious websites. Visiting this type of websites may potentially harm or damage your computer. One of the warning messages you get is this ‘connection is not private’ message. When you see this message, it is recommended that you do not visit this particular web site.

If you think that you are seeing this warning message even though the site you are visiting is not deceptive, then there a few tips that you can try.

SwiftUI: How to use NavigationLink

Dan Uff November 4, 2019 0

SwiftUI is a different breed of language, but one that I am getting used to and am even making new apps in the UI.

One thing that my apps are known for are easy to read an understand tableViews. You can see an example of this by looking at one of my (popular) apps here.

We all know how to make a basic list by using the List option. But the challenge was, getting another view controller to show up when someone selects an option. That's where NavigationLink comes into play.

Here's a simple example of how to use it:

NavigationLink(destination: anotherViewController())

{

Text("Option's Name").font(.headline)
}

In order for this to work, the "anotherViewController" must already exist. The Text option will display what the tableView cell is, and then we top it off with a .font command so the end user can see the option easier.

You'll have to do this for each option in a list.

DID YOU KNOW: You can use Siri to help make a telephone call?

Dan Uff November 3, 2019 0

You'd be surprised at how many people don't know that Siri can help anyone make a phone call as long as the number is in the person's contact list.

Here's how:

Activate Siri on your iPhone.
Say, "Call Mom."
If there's more than one number in your contacts, Siri will ask which number to call.
That's it!

Sounds simple, but under-utilized. This may also work on the Apple Watch and Macs too.
