Nope, Motorola keep giving me notifications I can't disabled on the G7 Power (Without replacing the OS) of new phones such as the Motorola One.
Tbh things like that hack me off, I already have a phone from you and basically spamming me in this way, not updating the bloody phone enough (Only received 2 security updates, also told by support updating was down to Android when its not) mean I no longer recommend Motorola and will be looking elsewhere when I do come to replace it.
You can try and request for a diverse connection from your ISP if you are a business, BT very happily provided this for us (Although at that point we had only sent a query to our ISP on cost, we are also the same distance from 2 BT exchanges), much to the annoyance of our neighbour who couldn't take deliveries or let customers in whilst they dug up that side of the road.
Oddly still havent had our ISP bill for this yet.
We are inside the M25 in a business park, we pay a lot per month for dedicated links and are similar distance from 2 exchanges. Obviously if more rural its more likely BT/Virgin/Insert other suppliers here may refuse.
I have been bitten by using <Mypassword>@Amazon before, it doesn't work in this day and age.
I have the memory of a bloke, so at most I can remember 4 complex passwords.
I only have my personal email password and a seperate password for work, seperate password managers for both and seperate passwords for the password managers. If I need access to something I can't remember the password for I just do a password reset.
If Blackberry didn't try and command a premium for BB10 it might have worked out better for them (Still the same fate as Windows Mobile), however it was kept as an over priced handset.
Although I loved the Q10, I always hated the price and the fact the price didn't go down, the Q5 was still to expensive.
Knowing Sage they will purchase what is required, considering Sage Line 500 was tetra CS/3 (Line 200 was another purchase as well as X3).
I'm not aware of many products being developed from the ground up in Sage, so if they need it they will purchase it (Like with the purchase of Adapteus to complement Line 500 with the TeleSales and EDI Modules).
What the issue with someone printing a few pages, often its for something urgent or in some cases something personal which if not done would affect a trip.
We use Papercut and can probably track personal usage, I would not waste my time (As any huge amounts of usage are easily spotted in monthly reports and its up to their department manager to sort).
At least one ip (95.142.156.174) is listed on UCEPROTECT
I wonder if they are getting hit because all their shared clients send emails via only a few ip addresses?
A few people sending what people consider spam could be screwing them up, if their mail volume is that big it might be difficult to track down.
Microsoft Office 365 has an option to report spam/phising, I assume lots of people have just reported emails from those ip addresses as spam.
Edit: Scrap that their Status page shows what appears to be hosts themselves being blacklisted rather than a central server.
I hate people who try and scan their phone, oh yes let me get my phone out of my pocket, oh wait my screen is locked, oh wait I have the setting to make the screen dim if its flipped over, oh the app crashed, GAH WHY DO I ALWAYS PICK THE DAMN QUEUE WITH PEOPLE USING THEIR STUPID MOBILE AS THE BOARDING CARD!
Always try and be one of the last on to.
I must admit the furniture I have purchased from Ikea before didn't appear to be designed to fail.
Even a wardrobe I put up where I was putting up with the help of a friend, managed to place a tool out of reach, reached it hearing a cracking snapping wodden sound followed by swear words from my friend. Solid as a rock when the rest was setup.
Last time I had to pay a cheque in the bloody counter staff kept trying to make me use one of their machines. Why have a dedicated member of staff pointing you away from the queue (They all bleeding do it!), maybe if said person was behind the counter the queue wouldn't be so long.
