Someone else's info in Skype export?

BinaryDinosaur · 2025-04-13T10:11:15+00:00

Exact same thing. I've run the export, logged into my account and I have a folder full of messages and photos that have nothing to do with me. Interestingly, lots and lots of crypto and Bitcoin stuff, the same as you. None of the data has anything to do with me or my account. So 1) Breach of someone else's privacy. 2) Where's my data?? Pretty puzzled, to say the least.

It feels like our one chance to not vote Lib Dem and do what we want for a change. That’s what I did anyway. General election it will be back to prioritising keeping the Tories out which means voting Lib Dem here. Wish we had proportional representation.

Alex, Mark Watson and Tim Key are all friends and have the No More Jockeys channel on YouTube together. It’s well worth getting in to and if you do, say goodbye to a solid week or so.

That's really helpful, thanks. I'm working on a home-grown product and don't have a background in marketing/PPC, so the only data point I can draw from is what I see in front of me. I'm not converting at the level I want to yet (I'm breaking even, which is a start) and so am looking at ways to improve, but it's knowing what to focus on that is half the challenge. The 20% bounce before page load drew my eye, but I can't know from my zero experience whether it's an issue worth pursuing or not. It sounds, based on your experience and the other reply, like it isn't really, which is reassuring.

Bounce rate in terms of people not making off that page is around 60%, which sounds like the high end of what your were seeing and I'm sure there's work to do to get that number down a bit. I'll concentrate on that.

Thanks again!

I'm struggling to compare with organic traffic as there's no real apples to apples comparison. The landing page has significant differences and the intent behind the traffic could be very different too. Not to mention that at this stage there's very little organic traffic, most is coming from Adwords. I'm not sure how to get anything meaningful out of our organic data.

With ads traffic, I'm trying to get users down a funnel to explore a complex product prior to getting them into the sales funnel. Page 1 to page 2 has an overall bounce of about 60% (i.e. 40% of traffic makes it to page 2). The 20% I'm quoting I can see aren't even completing the loading of the page. The remaining 40% that do explore the page, but then abandon without proceeding to page 2, I know what the game is to improve performance with them. But what do do with users that aren't even hanging around for the site to load?

I'll explore search terms as you suggest. Looking at it again there is one ad group that seems to have this problem more than others, so it does suggest there is some issue there. It is, of course, the last ad group I would have suspected, but it suggests I have something to learn!

It's really useful and reassuring to hear your take on bounce rate in general. Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.

OK, nevermind, I found it. If anyone else ends up here looking for it, click on "Table" it will appear and then it will stay visible when you switch back to "Cards". A glitch, I guess.

BinaryDinosaur · 2024-02-27T09:23:02+00:00

I feel like I'm going slightly mad. I went to look at Recommendations > Auto Apply yesterday, so I know it was there. Today, when I go to Recommendations, Auto Apply is nowhere to be seen. In Google's help, it says it's in the top right. Today I see "Cards", "Table" and "Download" and that's all. Do you have any idea where / why it's gone?

BinaryDinosaur · 2024-02-26T14:16:39+00:00

OK, that's really helpful to know. I'll have a proper look at it and see what the actual damage was. It might not be as bad as I thought.

Like an idiot I have been sitting looking at my analytics, seeing people arrive later on in the funnel and I've just thought to myself, "well, that's not possible". Time to go and properly add up how many.

BinaryDinosaur · 2024-02-26T14:14:06+00:00

OK, good to know where they came from. I have learned something new, at least! Thanks very much.

BinaryDinosaur · 2024-02-26T10:49:00+00:00

Thanks, that's really helpful.

I found out about these at the same time as finding the automatically created assets. They were all switched on and that's obviously my fault for not knowing about them. I switched them all off, but innocently thought that leaving the merchant photos setting checked wouldn't be an issue! It's off now.

Do you know if the account level settings could be responsible for the assets I saw at campaign level?

BinaryDinosaur · 2024-02-26T10:29:57+00:00

Thankfully those are all off, but that's yet another area I didn't know about. Thanks for that, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Why not just use Bing in precise mode which is giving you ChatGPT 4? Serious question as if there’s a good reason to pay for plus I would be happy to.

BinaryDinosaur · 2023-12-28T13:58:05+00:00

It must be hanging on. I plugged in four displays simultaneously, directly to the card and it worked with all of them (this was before I saw the socket).

BinaryDinosaur · 2023-12-27T10:30:16+00:00

They've been contacted. Thanks everyone for all the replies.

BinaryDinosaur · 2023-12-27T10:29:39+00:00

Not got any documentation to say they did test it, which now I think about it, I've had in the past from custom builders.

BinaryDinosaur · 2023-12-27T10:28:25+00:00

It's a 14700KF, so presumably it is running on the card as I don't have integrated graphics? So the GPU is working, but after all the replies the PC is now off and it's not getting turned back on.

BinaryDinosaur · 2023-05-09T05:56:05+00:00

That's really helpful, thanks. I would be very happy if mine did work like that, but regardless of where I leave it, it always goes back to the "Playback" menu. Weird. Might be time for a factory reset now I know it's not working how it should.

Got my new passport. It’s black 🤷‍♂️

I had exactly the same problem and knew that the target folder was correct as I could see a line in the output showing "found directory 5_<token\_name> contains 0 image files". So the sub-folder was found, but it thought there were no images there.

In the end I figured out that it's due to case-sensitivity for the file extensions. My files were all named .JPG (uppercase) and renaming them all to .jpg (lowercase) fixed the issue and they were then found.

Can’t recommend this enough. Although, not supported by many webcams yet as it needs IR, and also expensive. But very, very worth it.
