What if you get a bang on the head and forget how to reconstruct your password.

My £400 Dell Latitude is 5 years old, gets 12 hours of use a day and is dragged through some very dusty, dirty environments on a daily basis. All the keys are working.

If you make a consumer product that can't withstand basic consumer use then you're doing something wrong.

I'm with Uno Broadband who sell BT fibre lines (so upto 70 down/20 up) for around £40 a month with no blocks or restrictions and a static IP. No download limits to speak of either as I can easily hit 2TB download a month.

They fix stuff quickly too, I'd recommend em.

If you've got Google wifi points in my opinion you're simply inviting them to spy on you anyway.

I just wish they hadn't removed integration with other music players which aren't Apple Music.

That's literally all Facebook and Google do.

But you're using huge amounts more energy, I think that would rest on my conscience a little more.

Just how likely is this to happen though, it would have to be the only light source and be flickering with exactly the same frequency as the machinery is traveling at (which i assume for most devices varies a lot).

Not saying it can't happen but it does seem stupidly hard to achieve.

That's precisely why I don't want them. I don't feel it's worth the time and effort.

My Nokia 7.1 has monthly updates guaranteed for two years, is fast with a decent camera and has all the apps I need. Battery life and build quality are fantastic. All for about a quarter of the price of an iPhone XR. Not sure I agree with you there.

An modern (Last 20 years) ICE engine shouldn't use any fuel while engine braking. The ECU should just cut the fuel to the engine and allow it to run under vacuum.

My 15 year old Golf does and engine braking is why I've still got the original brake pads after 180K miles.

I've used this before which fits your bill: https://clipperz.is.

Quite an interesting app and you can download and offline copy of your notes too.

The chink in the chain for Barclays though is their mobile app on-boarding that relies on bank account information and SMS authentication which turns your phone into a PinSentry too.

Don't get me wrong, Barclays probably does it better than anyone else but I was surprised when I set up a new phone recently.

This seems pretty common with a lot of banks. I've got accounts with several high street UK banks and almost all of them have some kind of reliance on SMS, maximum password requirements (like 10 letters with no symbols) or 'secret words' where you have to pick a few choice letters from an word which is presumably kept in plain text.

I can only assume they are relying more on legal recourse and insurance than data security experts and I assume that if a hack did happen I would be reimbursed but it's a bit of a worry.

Unless they radically change how Facebook messenger works I don't see how it could even be called end-to-end encryption. For it to work how it does now (online and independently through the app) they would have to hold the encryption keys.

They would have to instead tie Facebook messenger to a phone like Whatsapp does and use a web app to send messages directly from the device instead. I don't see how else it could be done and still be called end-to-end encryption.

I rarely use Office products but I spend most of my day in some Office 365 product or another. There is a huge amount more to it than just Word.

That's quite the understatement.

I wonder what is taking Tesla so long to get their factory up and running.

You need to factor in the time it would take for teachers to move all of their resources over to another format. Some teachers have decades worth of work that they teach with.

It was definitely the other way round.

Unless you happen to live in China.

I have a Samsung digital signage screen that I use for a TV that has the same thing, quite useful as I can control the TV through my media PC.

You can legally change the lock if you change it back when you move out.

That's about the only thing I think she actually believes in. You only need to look at her tenure at the Home Office to see that.

The EU is far more democratic than the UK. In fact I happen to think that FPTP is one of the contributing factors to Brexit. For decades people have been living in areas where their votes didn't matter at all.

Don't most apps use GCM to deliver notifications anyway?

They clearly have different use cases, I don't think it's fair to say one is necessarily better because of it.

What's wrong with OpenVPN?

The name Google Plus would have made more sense for this product in my opinion.

Enterprise LTSC is what you want, no store, edge and other junk and only security updates.

I always hated it. I would switch to the 'classic' theme as soon as the PC booted.
