General Discussion Area / What PayPal do with your Info, .....and that Facial Recognition thing again.

« on: 17 December 2018, 21:01:30 »

If you verify you PayPal Account with either your Passport or Driving Licence or other National Photo ID, PayPal sell the Photo and its corresponding Info and Data to Microsoft US Corp, which then gets used and Stored for MS next generation of Facial Recognition Program which is specifically aimed towards the US Federal Government, UK and other Euro Govs.

If your in Asia, same deal really PayPal sells it to Baidu for the Baidu Eye Project (Baidu is the Chinise Goverments Controlled equivalent of Google, as Google is still currently Banned in China).

Just thought Id mention it, so smile your on CCTV.

General Discussion Area / Icelands Christmas TV Advert - Banned by UK Censorship

« on: 10 November 2018, 15:53:59 »

This is big News at the moment and quiet rightly so as far as Im concerned, in a Nut Shell Icelands Christmas TV Ad was to run up to Christmas as awareness of Iceland's now refusing to sell Any Products that contain Palm Oil, due to the destruction it leaves behind on our Planet.

And what do the UK Censors do, ...they Ban it as its Too Political, F@cking Muppet's.

General Discussion Area / Win10 keeps switching Off Virus Protection

« on: 09 November 2018, 14:02:13 »

Win10 Pro, up to date, no other VP installed other than the Win10 on-board one, sometimes after a reboot, everything fine, then after about 5 mins it alerts me your Virus Protection is switched off.

Go to Settings/Security/blah blah all settings are correct (ie, Green Ticked, No Action Needed) apart from Virus and Threat Protection, Action Required, go in this and its reporting "Your Virus and Threat protection is Managed by Your Organisation" ie, unable to change Settings, this is the same whether logged in as Admin or not.

Any thoughts?, Ta.

General Discussion Area / Bought one of these - WD 2TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive 39 Quid

« on: 22 October 2018, 18:38:43 »

No doubt some will say WD are shite and should never buy Re-certified Drive from the Manufacture but I thought for £39 (with Code and Free Shipping) was good value, also got another 7% plus a £2.50 bonus off that with Quidco, if it tracks.

Wont be using as a Main Bak Up Drive probably 2nd or 3rd just in case scenario or try it on the TV Port for Recordings?. By the way, dont think these are Sata Drives inside but the later dedicated USB Hardware in case your thinking about breaking into the encolosure $:-\$

1TBs available for £24 and 3Tb for cant remember now, use Code 5OFFWDUK for £5 off an already Discount Offer Price.

General Discussion Area / Whetherspoons Pubs giving away Free Haynes Manuals

« on: 20 October 2018, 15:55:23 »

Well, kind off.

Was in one of the Whetherknives having a drink with some Mates, the part where we were sitting was quiet a comfy soffa in a kind of Brick and Brack and massive Book Case on the Wall, one of my Mates comented on whether the Books were worth anything and would there be any Vaulable Auction Classics hidden in them, ......then there it was, staring at me, tucked away between a load of other Books, 'The Vauxhall Omega Haynes Workshop Manual'

Wont say what happened next.

« on: 14 October 2018, 16:07:05 »

Found this hidden away in the World Wide Wait, its a Free Emissions Tool below to check the Euro Emissions Standard of your car against the Vehicles Reg Number, which will be handy for all the Up and Coming Emission Tax Charging currently being rolled out or planned in Cities around the UK and the Planet.

Its actually an APi Plug In but works as a stand alone if you use the My Link, handy on the Phone, save as Favorite or Add link to Home Screen from the Browser.

General Discussion Area / CLICK on a piece of WWW History

« on: 10 September 2018, 17:33:36 »

Just in case you missed it the first time round back in 1991, here is the first ever Web Page, and its still there in its original Format.

Dont get to excited though, theres no annoying Pop Ups, Slow Loading, Cookie Policies, images or Videos, just some HTML Text.

Showed it to one of my Sons, who responded, "well they didnt make a very good Job of it Dad, surprised it ever took off in the first place"
