Do you have any old, unused accounts floating around on the internet? Have you had the same password since time immemorial, across all of your digital accounts?

Then it's time for a little digital spring cleaning.

Old accounts, unused apps, forgotten subscriptions, and outdated, weak passwords can pile up over time. While seemingly harmless, if these accounts are tied to data breaches or weak security settings, they can create opportunities for scammers. So take a moment to change an old account's password!

Have an old phone, tablet or laptop sitting in the garage somewhere? can give you tips on safe electronics recycling and local disposal options.

Entonces es hora de hacer una pequeña limpieza digital de primavera.

Las cuentas antiguas, las aplicaciones en desuso, las suscripciones olvidadas y las contraseñas obsoletas o poco seguras pueden acumularse con el tiempo. Aunque parezcan inofensivas, si estas cuentas están relacionadas con filtraciones de datos o configuraciones de seguridad deficientes, pueden brindar oportunidades a los estafadores. ¡Así que tómate un momento para cambiar la contraseña de una cuenta antigua!

¿Tienes un teléfono, una tableta o un portátil viejos tirados en algún rincón del garaje? puede darte consejos sobre el reciclaje seguro de aparatos electrónicos y las opciones locales de eliminación de residuos.

05/27/2026

Have you recently bought leafed-out grapevine plants from the Costco in Novato? If so, the Marin County Agriculture Commissioner needs to hear from you.

Inspectors from numerous Northern Californian counties, including Marin, have found suspected life stages of a destructive insect on grape plants shipped from Burchell Nursery’s Fresno location to Costco stores. The glassy-winged sharpshooter can wreak horticultural havoc in agricultural areas by sucking the fluids out of plants. A tree heavily infested with the insect can lose up to 10 to 15 gallons of fluids a day.

To prevent the spread of this pest, anyone who bought leafed-out grapevines from the Novato Costco is asked to call the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office at 415-473-7888 and place two garbage bags over the plants and secure them tightly. Do not place potentially infected plants in a compost bin or garbage container.

This notice applies only to leafed-out grapevines intended for planting, not table grapes sold for eating. Residents should keep the plant in place and avoid moving, transporting, or disposing of it until inspectors can respond. Costco is the only Marin retailer that received plants from this grower.

¿Ha comprado recientemente plantas de vid con hojas en el Costco de Novato? Si es así, la Oficina del Comisionado de Agricultura del condado de Marin necesita que se ponga en contacto con nosotros.
Los inspectores de varios condados del norte de California, incluido el de Marin, han detectado lo que parecen ser fases de desarrollo de un insecto destructor en plantas de vid enviadas desde el centro de Burchell Nursery en Fresno a las tiendas Costco. El saltahojas de alas transparentes puede causar estragos en las zonas agrícolas al ch**ar la savia de las plantas. Un árbol muy infestado por este insecto puede perder entre 38 y 57 litros de savia al día.

Para evitar la propagación de esta plaga, se pide a cualquier persona que haya comprado vides con hojas en el Costco de Novato que llame a la Oficina del Comisionado de Agricultura al 415-473-7888 y que coloque dos bolsas de basura sobre las plantas y las ate bien. No deposite las plantas potencialmente infectadas en un contenedor de compost ni en un contenedor de basura.

Este aviso se aplica únicamente a las vides con hojas destinadas a la plantación, no a las uvas de mesa vendidas para el consumo. Los residentes deben mantener la planta en su lugar y evitar moverla, transportarla o desecharla hasta que los inspectores puedan acudir. Costco es el único minorista de Marin que recibió plantas de este productor.
