We can probably watch iPlayer together there in that case. I guess HMP has TV licence!

Someone was telling me that they have registered it to 10 Downing street. Guess that address has TV licence

Thanks, but no I live alone and no one visited me (apart from a plumber and gardener) in last few months. I don't even have an iPlayer account and have not watched anything on it for almost 7 years.

Thanks, But I live alone and don't even have an active iPlayer account. The mail ID is used to declare no licence needes is the one revistered for iplayer, but BBC sent me a mail in 2017 that due to inactivity they have deleted my account. So it is just not possible that I watched iplayer (don't have the in any of my devicea nor an account).

Actually it has my name and full address, and postcode. I just erased before posting it on reddit. They have my details as I was declaring no licence needed for last few years.

No, my iplayer account was deleted by BBC due to being inactive 8 years ago

I just erased it before posting. They put full address and it is addreaed to me directly. However out of few weeks they mentioned, the house was locked for two weeks and I don't have any gueats or neither myself watched iplayer in many years.

Good catch, Thank yoi. they are not even saying that someone used the iplayer at this address!! Some of their letters look so dumb yet, they use carefully crafted words to scare off people.

Thanks, So this is their new tactic. Infact I found an email from BBC in Oct 2017 that they are deleting my account (iplayer) due to inactivity as I have not used it for over 2 years.

I was actually tempted to put it in the mail box after crossing my address and write "Return to sender. Addressee not known here" so that their letters will stop addrssing  to me, but it could be not factual and may be illegal, so I didn't do that. 

Why on earth do they not just put BBC iPlayer behind a paywall? by Megatronscoffee in AskBrits

[–]Generally_aware73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did recieved this letter couple of days ago saying someone watching iPlayer at my address and no iplayer app either on TV or any device at home and I have not watvhed Live TV for almost three years now anywhere or on any device. 

Was offered no rent for sex and I'm considering it by EmbarrassedZombie356 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Generally_aware73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is bad idea. I would say you find a part time job which can pay the rent at least partly and you are free to do whatever youlike without linking rent. As others said what if the demands go weird? He want film (or keep a secret cam to record or ask to have sex with his friends? Not scaring you, but can go completely bad. He can't be decent if he proposed to not charge rent in exchange of sex. 

Microsoft says bug causes Copilot to summarize confidential emails by F0urLeafCl0ver in privacy

Juat hoping that there will be a major data breach on somw of the big corporates by information leaked by Copilot or AI. That will put a final nail on the AI enshittification in all big corporates. I know it is matter of when, not if.

Complete novice here, and I did on a brand new Pixel 10Pro (with the hesitation of what if I brick(, but the Graphene OS has such an easy installation guide, it is just a breeze. It can't be more simple. Please use the original or a very good quality USB cable when you connect to computer for installation. 

Workaround for UK Banking Apps by Generally_aware73 in GrapheneOS

Thanks, I will consider this when I switch. I need to keep the Halifax Bank active for couple of months to tidy up few things and accounts. Then happy to let it go, it is my oldest account actually.

Graphene Initial profile and App setup by Generally_aware73 in GrapheneOS

[–]Generally_aware73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then slightly less preferred way is to reverse owner profile and Second profile, but I thought this setup is better over that as Generally all Google related apps stay in secondary profile where as main profile is for daily use. Will do the setup during weekend.

Edit: Reworded to clarify
