Estimated my work laptop as "high end" and then Edge crashed.

I'm surprised they haven't deployed a big banner à la Jimmy Wales begging for donations to UK users re this law yet

I'm not sure I've ever seen a petition on that website with a positive outcome.

B-but... if we have an ID card the "government" will be able to track us! /s It does annoy me how much people get away with scaremongering, I just read a comment of someone who's against digital payments because "then the government will be able to work out how much tax you owe"????

Tis what I meant - I have an EE MVNO SIM but originally an O2 number and I can recieve calls just fine.

It's just inbound calls to EE numbers (so if you've ported in you're not affected)

EXO or on-prem? We see a lot of authentication errors and sync issues, so much so that we block the "Apple Internet Accounts" EA since it stops the users from adding it in the first place on tenants we manage.

One particular well documented issue that first cropped up about 5 years ago that I still see to this day is the spam of calendar invite acceptance e-mails (so much spam that the user gets outbound blocked). Only happens if the user accepts a calendar invite using the iOS calendar client, MS couldn't identify an issue and Apple didn't wanna hear about it.

From all my years working in IT I've never had a good experience with the iOS/macOS mail app for either Exchange or Gmail, things break constantly. You're much better off using the proper Gmail or Outlook app.

My bank don't have an EV, they have just a plan Amazon cert.

True - but if browsers don't show the EV cert until I click 3 buttons and my bank don't use one is there really a point?

This is NOT a reason to distrust a website.

Even at a distance it should be okay, sounds more like a peering/bandwidth issue between your ISP and his

I can wholeheartedly recommend an HDHR and Channels DVR (https://getchannels.com/dvr-server/), I've found it to be parent proof. Run a Docker container on a low powered PC somewhere and then install the apps on Apple TV or Chromecast. Job done, provides a Sky Q like experience for like £5 a month?

Our provider don't support toll free numbers - so we can dial out using ours even though it's not in the system. Also helpful when you're doing a migration from one platform to another

I admin the phone system for my phone company, for any user I can change the outgoing CLI to be literally any number in the world, I can even call out as "1" if I want to.

I’m not sure how O2 are still in business - they’re the worst network by far, even Three with their diabolical backhaul situation is better. Only reason I have an O2 SIM along with my EE one is for Priority tickets/signal inside their venues

CF's "Universal SSL" allows you to proxy your site to a web server that only listens on port 80, not very common today but it was back then.

I was in a Tesco when there was a power outage - the self checkouts all died (and rebooted into a custon Debian based OS with a Chromium front end by the looks of it), but the staffed tills still worked and could accept Chip+PIN but not contactless.

The problem with this is is the same problem I had when I tried to switch to Apple Music, the network effect. I can't see my friend's playlists, work on collaborative ones, have automatic "blends" with friends etc if I have all my music on a JF server.

A "regular person" won't/can't deal with a server, VPS, anything like that. They'll go to GoDaddy because they saw an advert on the TV for "websites".

A welcome change if it gives some vendors a kick up the behind to implement ACME.

This is exactly how M365's solution works. Decrypts if the recipient is using MSN or EXO, otherwise punt them to a webpage.

Enter the Snack Zone!

Miles?

Yeah, the prisons are privately operated. The cynic in me would bet that the agents have some sort of KPI or even kickback from these companies for filling the cells and costing the taxpayer $$$.

Absolutely terrifying. I'm sure it doesn't technically class as "kidnapping" since the law must have some loophole saying they can detain you indefinitely for any reason (or none at all in this case) but it's what I'd call it.

As in standard, non-encrypted RCS. Because it relies on carrier support as opposed to on Android where it just works

Still can't use it on my iPhone though...

I had an issue with my Toyota where it was making a really loud rattling noise before a big drive I had planned the next day - called a local garage and dropped it off an hour later, got it back end of the day.

Interestingly (and sadly) the largest deployment of this was probably on Andrew Tate's grift course website thing, see the dev's blog: https://insrt.uk/post/andrew-tate-stealing-software-revolt
