Apple can create bricks on demand..
iPad is Find My enabled, but the account has been suspended on Apple's system (for reasons unknown). Now you can't even factory reset the iPad as it then wants "Find My" activating with the original (suspended) account.
Anyone know what process you need to invoke to make the iPad usable again? (The account, unimportant.. only existed because you couldn't install apps without it).

I've just noticed, it seems like #Mastodon has overtaken #RSS for my needs. I had not looked at my RSS reader for ages, then did - and noticed that almost everything I had already seen via the sources here (looking at you @npub1agz…k395, @npub1sv0…rq9x and others! Thanks for being here.)

I've only ever seen it offered once.. ICUK resellers can provide the 220mbps upload service.
However it costs more than twice the cost of two 110mbps upload services!.

some of the domains that I wanted to register on the .ing TLD appeared to be protected once which you could only register through certain registrars and an extortionate price for those specific words.

do they mean premium by the first part of the domain rather than the extension? If you chosen a very common word, it might be classed as a premium domain by the registry.

thought the razer one was already known about. Or maybe I'm thinking incorrectly and it was HP input device drivers with similar flaws.

Um... #Apple have a 10 minute advert on YouTube to explain the differences between their 4 models of phone. Where did they lose their way? "I'm going to help you decide which one is right for you." says the presenter while talking to a (celebrity?) customer.

For what it is worth it seems firmly in EE between 109.249.132.23 and 109.249.132.22.
Packetloss has increased to around 38%

For those who use the service, there appears to currently be intermittent connectivity between #EE mobile data and @npub1sv0…rq9x #L2TP . Currently seeing around 26% pl (works for a while, then a chunk of no responses, then returns etc.)

TalkTalk's Implications email is missing a chunk of information when read in OWA or Outlook on mobile. It's there if I go to forward the email. I've not investigated what they've done to cause that but do you have a sensible route to report that issue?

More timezone problems @npub12hz…ynw4 .. "Notice sent by your existing provider:-
By email to par**********@gmail.com on 2024-08-23 08:52:42" - Vodafone requested just this minute somehow claims to have sent the implications email 1 hour before I submitted the request :)

2024-08-22 13:20:44 UTC

Yes. Just getting to the stage where it identifies if you are a customer of that provider or not should trigger the "switching implications" email. There's no need to complete an order. (Or you can, then cancel.. which would test more of the system but I guess adds a whole lot of risk :D).

it did prompt the additional details, but by the time it had, my friend was not able to answer the questions.

Can anyone go through the process / use the form to trigger the switching implications message but not actually place an order? I can definitely test that for some lines if so.

That's disappointing. MET Police, NFIB and NCA contacts over many years have repeated ActionFraud reports do make a difference, not using it and not reporting it will skew statistics and therefore allocation of funds and people.
I do agree that for the individual victim it feels useless doing so, and that the reporting form is poor for some fraud and often needs the "here is your reference number" email responding to with the appropriate free hand details or attachments.

2024-08-16 15:16:25 UTC

They collect statistics so they can allocate resources to tackle stuff. If people don't tell action fraud then resources don't get allocated. However, it doesn't help each individual victim of fraud.
For things that mention stuff like government agencies or schools, they take a more proactive approach and do disruptions and takedowns. The person reporting may not hear back that that has happened, but it does happen and it's worth reporting.

I would recommend reporting it to actionfraud. Especially with HMRC in the domain name the chances of them taking swift action is high.
