@kdfrawg It's a Safari mobile issue only. @matigo reports that because of the "notch" at the top of the iPhone 8, Safari mobile on iPhones & iPod Touch uses a twisted variant of webkit which buggers things up for such devices. It was only affecting those two devices, iPads are fine as are Macs.
I tried other web browsers on the iPhone with Cappuccino: Chrome & Firefox as as bad as Safari. But iCab mobile gets it right! Yay!
@nitinkhanna Correct. The podcasr co-presenter said they'll have some folk from Wire along on the podcast next month. Some of the people behind it are dissatisfied ex-Skype employees.

Was using DM in Twitter to discuss arrangements for a podcast I've been invited to as a guest presenter. I asked how they shared audio/video and learned of a secure cross-platform app called Wire. So I downloaded it for iOS and Mac & set up an account.
I was a volunteer at a thrift shop several years ago. One day we heard of a bunch of idiots at a party playing with home-made explosives. The radio news item mentioned that a young man from our town had list both legs below the knees and most of the fingers on one hand.
Henceforth the shop was closed on Saturdays as the only volunteers we could get for that day were the unfortunate fellow’s parents. They dropped everything to take care of him.
I vaguely recall seeing somewhere that machine-specific downloads of High Sierra are done. Certainly my attempts to install HS onto the iMac using the installer app from the MacBook Air have failed. Downloading again. Fortunately I have plenty of bandwidth available.
While the iMac lacks an SSD to get full benefit from the High Sierra update, it does have a hardware advantage when it comes to encoding HEVC videos in 10-bit colour.
From Ars Technicha: Only Macs with Skylake and Kaby Lake processors support hardware-accelerated encoding and decoding of HEIF and HEVC files at all; this covers all Macs introduced in 2016 and 2017 and 5K iMacs from late 2015. Only the Kaby Lake processors in 2017's Macs support hardware decoding of HEVC videos with 10-bit colour, one of the few new features that separated Kaby Lake from Skylake in the first place.
@lograh Also noted by myself & @jussipekonen.
