  1. When Mark Zuckerberg and FBI Director James Comey cover their laptop camera and microphone with tape, you know there's something amiss.

    And when yer own government are allowed to hoard data and device vulnerabilities and hack their citizens, you know we're all f'ked.

  2. I used to use facebook but i cannot have it exactly as i want it ,i dont need "suggestions" i need to get rid of and some you cannot! I let the mrs hang her dirty washing in public i prefer mine in a laundry basket !

     

    It appears without it you cannot use messenger which WAS useful

     

    Unfortunately there seems to be no way in forcing companies to remove ALL your details ,i have a worry giving my card details just to watch 3 months FREE now tv (cancelled immediatly as it has nothing you cannot find elsewhere free) will come back to haunt me as they are 'accidentally' taking money from closed accounts using stored card data

    I use my mobile browser for facebook. They thought they were being clever trying to make you download messenger to access pm's on a phone.

     

    Trick is to use the browsers own "desktop version" option and fools fb in to thinking you are on a desktop.

     

    Im close to deleting it all together though. Its all just garbage i see on the timeline these days.

  3. I don't do them that often and the ones that ask for too much detail I decline. You should see my sisters wall :eek:

    My aunty is real bad for it. At one point her account started posting all on its own, pretending to be her to get people to click on links she had apparently shared, that then try to get you to install a facebook app...or rather, its more of a plugin than a mobile phone app tbf.

     

    We twigged cause the stuff was completely out of character.

     

    Shame on facebook for allowing them to get too far to begin with through their system.

     

    Not a single app/plugin thing on my facebook profile. I also use the browser not the mobile app, for added paranoia.

  4. The point you are all missing is this has nothing to do with facebooks privacy policy. While yes you do agree to be targeted with ads by facebook and from the apps you enable on facebook from a 3rd party. you as a single entity agree to these terms when sign up to FB and when you enable an app such as "who is your evil sidekick, what you look like as a woman, quizes etc".

     

    What happened here are people using those stupid apps (cory im looking at you) and cambridge analytica hoovering up those users details who installed the garbage BUT the apps were also harvesting their friends info (who didnt install ghe app) when they shouldnt have. I have an agreement with facebook, not cambridge analytical. So the line "you know what you signed up for" is completely irrelevant here.

  5. With barely straw as an algae inhibitor its important that its on the surface for it to be effective. Dumping a whole bale in wont do much as most of it will be submerged. Put it in mesh tubes, like sausage casings if you imagine, and float them. We were thinking about it on a 102 acres i cant remember how many bales we calculated but it was a lot!

  6. I will be snow clearing to make sure the elderly can pray to their god but i am sure if he existed he would do it for them not some fat non believing pensioner lol

    Two oclock start should do it but its rumoured more is on the way at 3pm so they better mutter fast

     

    I find it strange bbc reporters can get to the trouble spots !if it were bad they couldnt! Perhaps they are wasting money taking them by helicopter? Or its not really that bad

    Dont you know, its gods will that you do it. He acts in mysterious ways.

  7. More snow today,(about 5 inch), but the driving was much easier. The hill that took over a half hour yesterday, took under 5 mins today. I agree with ajay though, there are many drivers who have no experience driving in these conditions, as well as those that just don't think. Some are over confident through ignorance, while others over cautious through fear. Then there are the 4x4 drivers who think that just because they have extra grip to keep moving, think that 4 wheel drive means they can brake, and stop, as if conditions were normal. I've see two today brake hard, and skid on for several feet.

    My main problem is that because it's not been above -3 C for the last couple of days, my screen washers are still frozen!

     

    John.

    Its not very often it gets this extreme, scotland anyway. Ive takin the opportunity to get to know my new 4x4 i bought 2 weeks ago. Come across so many abandoned cars here and still a lot of side streets with about 1ft of the stuff. Its all good fun and good practice.

  8. Met Office have just issued a red warning or parts of Scotland.

    You don't see that every day..

    Really ? ****. Im sat in tesco underground car park just now and looks apocaliptic outside. Strong winds picking up snow along with snow coming down. I dont mind but its the idiots with snow covering 90% of their cars driving around im more worried about.

  9. If the account has been setup on thunderbird as IMAP (i suspect it is) then changes in thunderbird will take effect on the mail server (deleting and sent items take effect on server too). Each mail provider have different policies/rules/etc for handling 'deleted' emails. What you want to do is set it up as a POP3 account.

     

    If its POP3 already, go to account settings in thunderbird (under tools i believe) and look for settings relating to trash/deleted you want to uncheck the likes of "delete trash on exit" and "delete from server after x days/months" or something to that effect.

     

    Setting it as pop3 will not show any sent emails or ones marked as important if you login to webmail to check emails too. Its all downloaded locally so no changes made on server.

     

    Alternativley to keep it as IMAP and benefit from its features then set up a new folder/category on thunderbird call it archived or bin or something unique and just move unwanted emails to there till you decide to delete yourself.

  10. If thats the only command you entered in the command prompt dont worry about it they wont have access to anything. Its a little bit more complicated than just one command. You would also need to give them an ip and probably need to add some port forwarding instructions in the router.

     

    Scammers are more likely to try get you to download teamviewer. Which was probably the next step if you hadnt hung up.

  11. What was the command john. Also how did you obtain your copy of windows.

     

    Im wondering how they got your license key and phone number of infact the command was one to display the product key at all.

     

    100% scam though.

  12. She's a professional troll and habitual hypocrite.

    She a gobshite.

     

    Theres a clip of her with scoffield and holly willabooby. She was going on about judging children by their names. She doesnt like kids hanging around with her kids if they have a chavvy name. She dislikes kids and judges them with geographical names too, then holly asks her what her daughters name is..... "India"

  13. Who said they were poor, iran is not entirely poverty stricken and doing better than probably india and what makes the phones so nice, You can pickup a smart one for 50 quid. But whats that got to do with anything ?

     

    People seem a bit fed up with their government and are telling them so. We lack any enthusiasm here to do the same thing.

     

    Phone, um is the answer narcissism ?
