I know someone hopefully high up enough to know the procedure, was it a proper fully liveried Sky van or an agent subbie small sign type van? Was in central Horsham, and was a liveried sky Transit. Unfortunately happened so quickly I didn't get the registration. I was more shocked that a liveried sky van was being driven in such a manner.

It's a general rule down where I live to avoid contact with any Sky branded vehicle- more likely than not they're being driven by arseholes who think safety second. An experience I had was when on the Uckfield bypass, I was slowing for the roundabout 100 yards ahead of me, and the road was single carriageway with no area to pass. A fully liveried Sky van somehow overtook me as I approached the stop line and forced itself around the roundabout. I wonder if they have trackers in their vehicles at all with the way I've seen most of them drive. GrumpiusMaximus and richardmorris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Despite the massive repair estimate, I was feeling quite positive about the Rover earlier. Unfortunately I then made the mistake of talking a particular person whose ability to ruin my mood in the face of the slightest inconvenience is unparalleled. Now hit another massive slump in motivation, feel absolutely knackered and generally pissed off. Ffs.

EightMegs Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I mistakenly ordered the wrong front arm bushes for Harris the Yaris and wanted to get the correct ones before the weekend, so I decided to phone the Toyota parts counter who informed me that they wouldn't sell the bushes separately from the arm and that they wanted €230 per side! I shelled out for an express courier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the same person has targeted you repeatedly then it could be.

outlaw118 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Ebay have decided to re-jig their selling pages again, and so far, I hate it. Excuse me for the following, may get confusing... a while ago I was happily using what I will call Version 1. Not long ago, Version 2 popped it's head up, but the option to return to Version One was still there. Now, we've got version three "Seller Overview" and you can't even get back to version two. Twats.

artdjones Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 My phone is about 4 years old, running on Android 7. Today I found out that my bank's mobile app no longer works with Android 7, as Google have stopped supporting it even though it was the latest version up to August 2017. Apparently it's true that Google's motto has changed. It used to be "Don't be Evil", but has now changed to "Don't be Evil- That's our Job".

So I've decided to go for a mountain bike ride round Gisburn. Really looking forward to it. But guess what, I'm unable to move more than a few feet away from the toilet, FFS.

Talbot Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Well bollocks. I moved three weeks ago to be away from an absolutely toxic situation and to be nearer work. Both of those have worked out. However, we're now in the middle of the second lengthy power cut in those three weeks. On balance, here is still better by a country mile, but it's bloody annoying when the entire building is electric only, meaning I can't even have dinner now. This post brought to you by the remaining power in my phone, some wifi hotspot and the remaining power in a laptop battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can look at it as your bank wanting to be absolutely sure that you're using an up-to-date OS that has relevant security in place before you transmit sensitive information over the Interwebz. My bank has recently done the same, and I can no longer use their app on my phone. I can, however, still use the website. As I understand it, that's because it can use HTTPS protocol, which isn't necessarily available to the app. Also, latest version of August 2017 is now 4 years out of date, which is a million years in internet security terms. loserone, GrumpiusMaximus and Supernaut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be impossible for Google to upgrade security on older Android versions? It's not Google, it's the manufacturer not providing updates. Android isn't just Google. Android is the core operating system that's owned by Google but each manufacturer puts a whole load of shite on top (for some reason) and it's that that is causing the issue here as the manufacturer hasn't provided an update. Google are shits but in this case, they're not the shits you should be directing this to. Android is like the Wild West when it comes to OS updates...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 On a similar tech-related note, we're rolling out MFA at work and the digital literacy of our staff is absolutely shocking. Repeated calls all day about it not working or that they can't set it up, despite the fact that we literally sent them a video of how to do it and an FAQ along with basic troubleshooting. 'Oh, my email isn't working on my phone any more. Do you know anyth...' 'Yes. Did you read the email that was sent to you warning you that your email might not work on your phone after we've enabled this and to simply remove the account and re-add it?' 'Yes, I read the email. I must have missed that.' Except it's in fucking bold. On a bullet point. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to be too rude to them or I'll get told off - but I have a long, passive-aggressive email that my boss loves me to use when staff don't want to set it up that tells them why we are and that they have no fucking choice in the matter. So I get to send that a couple of times a day at least... mitsisigma01, crad and chaseracer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
