Either way the file will probably end up sitting in a wide open share on a non patched windows server open to the entire network so really does it matter if you go in person and they scan it themselves?

My wife recently saw a lawyer (should I be nervous?) and his 'file server' is big piles of manila folders spilling off shelves and stacked up all over the floor.

So yeah, in a way, sitting in a wide open share. :-)

Bingo. I've just had IT at my work upgrade something. It is no longer 29 patches out of date. It is now 15 patches out of date.

Reminds me of when I was working at a large corporate in Auckland circa 2017. Some major Windows vulnerability was publicised (EternalBlue), one of our competitors was hacked, ransomwared etc. Turns out you were ok if you had applied the most recent patches (released March 2017). Our CIO / IT Director / bigwig guy sent out an all-staff email saying "we're up to date, we're not vulnerable, we're actually advising our clients on how to respond and check their cybersecurity". Curiosity got the better of me, I checked the patch logs on my laptop. Turns out no patches had been applied since August of the previous year. Checked the laptop of someone else in my team, same story. Responded to the CIO's email with a single sentence and a screenshot. About 10 minutes later I received a call from a very frantic IT manager, then about an hour later every machine in the company proceed to force an install of all outstanding updates... No one said thanks.

So they're more secure than 99% of companies out there then.

Yeah they sound secure but badly in need of a defrag.

Well, after ~21 years of phone ownership without any major issues, I broke my phone today :(

Coincidentally I'd ordered a new one a few hours prior, but I assure you that I didn't break the old one on purpose!

Anecdotally there used to be a surge in insurance claims (phone breaking and being dropped in the toilet) just around the time new models came out.

When I was still living in the UK the mobile companies used to supply new handsets for free if you signed up to a new contract every couple of years.

I don’t know if they still do that, given the price of phones these days. It was good though - new shiny phone turned up in the post!

When you listen to an entire series of audiobooks and then when you get to the penultimate book in 12 books, Audible says “Sorry. Audible is not authorised to sell this title in your region. “

Shoe sizes in general. I didnt know that kmart here used weird sizing instead of standard US sizing so ordered a whole lot of shoes the wrong size. They have a sizing table that is there which is their excuse, but if they are going to use something weird like UK sizing, they should label that on the product page.

? Isn't UK shoe sizing the standard sizing in NZ?
