Zomggggg!!!1! I got a reply thought everyone had me on ignore

I have gone with PIA (private internet access) as they seemed to be top of a couple of roundup reviews I read, or maybe they just pay reviewers well?? That said how does one go about checking if you are getting DNS leaks? netowrking isnt my strong point... only on a one monthly sub atm so I can cancel it anytime I want without losing any money, I can say that I havent experienced many issues with it although I'm not really doing much of anything apart from the few odd same sites on my mobile and PC (as it's an old HP compaq until I order the rest of my Ryzen parts)

A lot of money for the S8+ really and oneplus5 i wonder why they are not announcing 4? Some say its because its an unlucky number.

Yeah. But its a beautiful phone! A mate of mine has one at work and it's too beautiful. I'll probably wait and see if Samsung will release another note device. There's rumors going round that they have something up their sleeve. I'll probably end up with a huawei phone cuz they are quite a bit cheaper while having good features

NatWest has warned its customers of a new 'smishing' scam that is circulating this week.

The scam sees fraudsters sending unsuspecting victims text messages that appear to be from NatWest.

Users are asked to verify their account details by clicking on a link which takes them through to what looks like NatWest's website.

But when they enter their online banking login details, it gives the scammers complete access to their details – and their money.

It's a real shame there are people out there naive enough to fall for this sort of shit. I've got some tremendously draconian views on this type of thing and believe those that perpetrate the act should be eviscerated and force fed to their families. It might make them think twice. Digital crime against those naive to fall for this is like stealing candy from disabled babies.

Hate them with a passion. Now, if they focuused their time scamming millionaires and folk that have already gotten rich treading on the toes of the poor, i'm fine with that. Let's face it, very few super rich people got their by being nice and considerate.

I have a 200gb SDcard which is almost full...

Its not about how long it lasts, its more about how much choice there is and i listen to a lotta stuff

i use phone music only till it travel on and off work (~30 mins in one direction) so 50h w/o repeating is a lot for me. i keep what i like most on it and i never get tired to listen what i have.
but if 5 doesnt have specs to meet your needs you'll have to look elsewhere.

Thats the problem -- I like too many things and I like to have access to all of it on a random playlist.

enjoy while still can. at some point life will leave you with too little time for this

I just use spotify, awesome for finding new music but not so good in that you would loose your stuff if you stop your account. I've lost so much music through hard drive and sd card failures though (I'm useless for backing things up!), at least I don't have to worry about that now

The NHS has been hit by a major cyber attack and criminals have taken control of computers and cut off phone lines across England.

Medics have claimed that messages are flashing up on screens saying they must pay cash or terminals are down completely.

NHS England has confirmed that it has been attacked but would not give any further details.

Can we all have bet to see if @qubit will make mod or not?

 

[dorsetknob]

Need some one not participating to be the bookie
and what odds do you predict
ps perfect place for this is the Lounge

[FreedomEclipse]

I personally have my doubts about myself making the mod team but then theres @Fourstaff who just lurks most of the time

I think it was suggested a while back that maybe every long time or well established user gets a random chance at being a mod (possibly with limited powers kinda like a PCSO) for a week every other week and have a hand at policing the community.

Would be nice to be more involved though. I think im not BIAS enough when it comes to brand loyalty though. Im pretty neutral when it comes to hardware. Im just looking for bang for buck most of the time

I think that Norton thoroughly deserves to be mod though

 

[dorsetknob]

I think that Norton thoroughly deserves to be mod though

fully agree with you on Norton

my bookie odd for Norton ( odds on Fav )

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I think Solaris17 deserves to be mod also
