When I had friends that worked at GCHQ the only access to the internet was via a sandboxed PC in a room all by itself.
They certainly had to leave their phone in the car as well.
Either things have changed a lot in the last few years, or somebody had their eyes off the ball.
Absolutely. I had a HTC San Francisco that could play Doom when I went to the US circa 2003 and people were gobsmacked by the power that thing had.
Think I got my first mobile in about 1992, was self employed so pretty much a necessity, Remember putting it in my girlfriends bag when it went off on the tube once and got some really weird looks. How things change...
I can remember my grandmothers landline number from childhood, the landline number I used for a BBS, my wife's mobile, all the landline numbers my mother ever had and the landlines I've ever had but that's about it. Oh, and my sisters mobile number before she emigrated.
Funnily enough met up with some old school friends last weekend and we could all remember each others phone numbers from 40 odd years ago. Haven't a clue what my Dad's mobile is now, although the landland hasn't changed for about 50 years, apart from an extra digit or two added to the start.
There are some places on earth that will never get a fibre link - such as the Galapagos Islands where the only way of getting decent internet access is via Starlink.
Which is why on Isabella Island, in a small bar in the middle of nowhere, I got 169 Mbps down and 9 up)
I'm no fan of Musk, but colour me impressed.
Because the bar also had it's own brewery, and it's Friday... --->
Tell me if I'm wrong but...
So the daily balance would double when the screen froze.
The subpostmaster would find money from their own pockets to send to the PO.
The post office now has money from transactions that didn't occur. These may be the same transactions twice but...
Say out of those transactions was £x of stamps x 2. Take that over a week and say x number of stamps have been sold. Reconcilliation would surely show that the number of stamps supplied to the PO was less than that?
Same as car tax, you don't pay your tax twice when renewing it at the PO. The same number plate appearing twice in the same days audit trail?
I'm just glad they are getting hauled over the coals, at last. There was a big article on the BBC site about it and it didn't mention the F word once.
