You may laugh, but if I buy a bike the same colour as an old one, she doesn't notice for a few weeks.
I once took perkles ZX10R home and she thought it was the Z1000SX

Anywya, today's rant is Vodafone.
Seen a phone and package that's for me. Listed at a sale price of £31.45 pcm. You go to pay and its telling me £37 pcm.
I can't get any help online via their chat, their app nor on twitter.
Bunch of kents.

Also, if you do go ahead with it PM me on FB with the details of the package as I may be able to get you a corporate rate

Yeah the Super Jumbo.
My rant for the day is stupid people, it seems that the only thing that they can do well is breed a new generation of thick as a brick, entitled, violent little arseholes.

Proving that ranting works, Vodafone have agreed to give a decent amount of credit against my bills, which effectively means 4 months ownership for free

Did you threaten to close your account or anything like that??
I'm told that often works wonders.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
No-one goes to the movies anymore. I read somewhere the other day that movie attendance is the lowest in 25 years.
Too many other (& frankly better) options.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I like going to the cinema. It might not be cheap but it's a decent trip out with the family and you see a film the way its intended to be seen.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Not that the company I work for is over-reacting to the massive fines for breach of GDPR or anything, but we were given some new rules today.
We can't take sensitive material home. But they do want us to work from home.
We cant send documents out to experts or barristers unless we send an email to the head of department and they approve it. That's one person looking after 170+ members of staff.
So what do we do? We use an online system that stores scanned documents. But at present it can't do sub folders, so all of our experts and anyone else we use on one case will see the same documents, which can be a bit of a problem especially when liability is in dispute.
Do we have enough admin to scan everything that comes in? Nope.
If we work from home can we have a second screen to work from? (our laptops are 15 inch). Nope - you have to buy your own.
Guess which company's system is currently preventing people from opening documents or saving documents to it?
It's the same company that has taken away our desk bins in case we accidently throw something in there which isn't GDPR compliant.
They really don't think these things through.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I have been to a company recently who are being persuaded that their server should be redundant and they should use a cloud based system instead. The IT guy reckoned it would be safer than a server as it’s easier to restrict access than to a server.
Also no files are then taken from the office on a computer as they can only access them and not download them.
Interesting listening to the conversation and am wondering if maybe even I should move to a cloud based system. My knowledge on these things is limited but the concept sounds good.
Is this the way things are going for most businesses?

If you want true security then the cloud is not the way. Why do you think military and sensitive establishments use on premise air gaped networks with limited and secured access.
An on premise system, you make a security configuration error and the only real risk is employees on site see something they shouldn't. A cloud system however, you get that wrong and the whole world has access.
For some simple examples Google "aws unsecured S3 bucket", example https://www.welivesecurity.com/2018/02/ ... vate-data/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You also leave yourself at a big risk of service page, not only if the cloud provider fails (and they do) but also if your local ISP fails.
Anyway, minor rant over.
