I’ve found a directory called BRF in my home directory, it contains files with the extension .brf. A search suggests it is to do with Braille - that’s unlikely as I haven’t installed or saved anything like that. It’s worrying me - where did they come from?
.brf are files you can read with a special device called notetaker. It is for visual impaired users.
You might have downloaded a ebook and took the wrong file type?
Have a look what is inside the directory. You can display the content in the terminal with the cat command. It should be readable and has some control characters to use with the device mentioned above.

I don’t use ebooks. There are a few like this “loupe job #1.SPo0AK.brf”, a couple with names I recognise plus a code at the end like the one above and a load called “rubbish” plus a code.
I think I’ll just delete them all and see what happens.
Another one has appeared. I’ve been struggling to install a WiFi printer (again) and the one that Gnome Settings comes up with is a Braille printer. I’ve been trying to print to it from Gedit. I thik the two problems are related so I’ll put it down to problems with Settings>Printer and give up trying to install it. I can print from my ten year old Android mobile no problem :).
