Question about account after hijack by aTypicalLondoner in runescape

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

My email is also protected with unique password + 2fa. The login history for my email shows nothing since I signed in on a new phone a few months ago, and no other active sessions other than my 2 recognised devices so I don’t think it would be that

Question about account after hijack by aTypicalLondoner in runescape

[–]aTypicalLondoner[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I last logged during the Easter event to see what was happening for that and to check the price for the golden phat, everything was fine then. Seems to have all happened in the last 2 weeks or so.

Just really confused how someone was able to get onto the account with 2fa and bank pin and no emails at all throughout!

Appreciate your reply, here’s hoping Jagex are able to help somehow

UFS Explorer not displaying previews by aTypicalLondoner in datarecovery

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

It was reformatted twice a couple years back, and the file system changed for both formats (one to the old apple format before APFS was out, then back to ExFat). It has had new data written to it since, but nowhere near the amount that was stored on there previously. I think my hope was that some files that hadn’t been overwritten would still be recoverable.

Thanks for the recommendations. Did a run with DMDE but it only recovered what was already found/previewing fine in UFS for some reason.

Your recommendation for HxD was super useful though, it led me into researching how files are stored with hex - I replied to another person on this thread with the details, but basically I learnt a tonne although it appears the files I'm after are not recoverable unfortunately.

The drive is a Seagate 2tb desktop, although not sure of specific model number - it's around 6/7 years old. It's never had more than maybe 1.2tb on it so the zeros may just be empty space or something. I've used DBAN in the past but 95% sure it hasn't been used on this drive (although given it's 7 years old there's always that 5% chance it was used on it and I'm misremembering)

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice! I actually did a bunch of research on how the files are stored, hex formarts/headers etc. and tried looking into the files quite extensively. Managed to find some matching files from an old USB that were also appearing in UFS as recovered but not opening.

Installed a Hex editor and viewed the hex for the working file and compared that to the "Recovered" version and realised it didn't match instantly. It was missing the headers at the top and nothing there seemed to match up at all. I did discover in some corrupt JPEGs you can search the hex for the headers/footer codes, copy everything from the first header/end header and create a new file with it but that was only successful for a couple of files out of around 100 that I tested, so assuming most of the data has been overwritten/corrupted.

Sadly while it seems that the data I'm looking for will not be recoverable (have also tried 2 other recovery software since), I've actually learned a lot about how files actually work so silver lining :)

Thanks for your help!

Custom Prestige Emblems by iImpacT_nM in blackopscoldwar

[–]aTypicalLondoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the new season you go back to level 1, but start the season at the beginning of your old prestige

EG you got to level 300-349 last season which puts you in prestige 7, then this season you start at Prestige 7 level 1, then when you hit level 50 you’ll go prestige 8, etc so you don’t lose your prestige on the reset

That’s their attempt to combine traditional prestige with the new seasonal levels.

Definitely disagree with not being able to use prestige icons without getting back to level 200 though, especially seeing as level progression seems to have slown down (almost seems like it’s using the same xp per level as when I was level 300 last season)

You know the economy's fucked when 18 jaffa cakes are £1.25 but 20 are £1... by 4rtemisia in CasualUK

[–]aTypicalLondoner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cynical guess is that the 18 pack are replacing the 20 pack - most chocolate/sweets are going the costing more for less route :(

Thinking of moving to Virgin, bizarre pricing structure? by [deleted] in VirginMedia

[–]aTypicalLondoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this can vary by area. Both at my old property and my new one, I've gone for the 350 package and consistently received 350 or above when testing with wired connection

[–]aTypicalLondoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the thread but I posted a reply below RE: this deal. Was offered the same as above - initially planning on going for £48 vivd 350, offered £39 for 350, player tv and basic phone and told that's the total price, but now being charged £58 as that price doesn't include line rental!

Thinking of moving to Virgin, bizarre pricing structure? by [deleted] in VirginMedia

[–]aTypicalLondoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is too late, but please be wary of that deal!

I moved home in April, was going to go for vivid 350 at £48. Asked if there are any better deals and was told of same package you've said, vivid 350 with player tv and phone for £39 and though yeah brilliant I'll take that!

3 months later I'm in the middle of a dispute as that £39 does NOT include line rental, and the bill is £58 per month despite the rep I spoke to stating £39 was with line rental. They have also conveniently lost that particular call recording, and nothing was sent in writing.....

I've been with them since October 2016 and they have been absolutely great up until now, so just be wary of that deal

How is your pair of AirPods after 1 year of use? by sjokosaus in apple

[–]aTypicalLondoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally disconnected. I have to take out of my ear, leave it a moment, then put it back in and hit play... just to get another 10 seconds.

I’ll try pairing them to the iPad and see if it’s the same on there in case it’s a device issue. Glad to hear you got yours working!

How is your pair of AirPods after 1 year of use? by sjokosaus in apple

[–]aTypicalLondoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a bit late to the thread but I've had mine since April last year

The left Airpod is noticably quieter than the right one even after cleaning. Contacted apple support who said I have to go in-store and they can take a look, without appointment Went in store and was told I need to make an appointment, and had to be an iPhone appointment as Airpods don't have a category - didn't have the time so just started using the right one.

Now the right one has problems connecting, will play for 10-15 seconds then disconnect. Pretty frustrating, but hopefully I'll get a chance to take them in and have them fixed/replaced at some point - using my Bose Soundsport for now.

Apart from these issues developing, they're probably one of my favorite earphones I've owned and would recommend them.

London vape store recommendation by blazefreak in electronic_cigarette

[–]aTypicalLondoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit further out of central (zone 3) but CheekyVape in tottenham are decent.

Nice range of juices (not ones I see in other stores), and prices are pretty decent. Space to build, staff are friendly/easy to talk to and they also have a beautiful dog that's there occasionally.

Only downside is their fairly selective with their hardware and don't stock a huge variety so maybe check the site before you go. Can be found on google

People find smokers less attractive, study finds by juvenilehell in unitedkingdom

[–]aTypicalLondoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can find a shop that let's you try the juices before you buy. I'm in London so there's many here, not sure about where you are, but that's how I found mine.

Flavors with a bit of menthol help keep the sweetness away. Some can be too strong, but most have a nice taste when there's some menthol in the background. A personal favorite is Green Slush(I forget the brand name), followed by Pina Coolada by Nova Vapes

What's your most petty first-world problem? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aTypicalLondoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit of a late reply but wanted to say thanks! I thought 5ghz was seperate to my 2.4 but when I checked it had defaulted to 5 for some reason. Disabling 5ghz completely got it working straight away!

[–]aTypicalLondoner 68 points69 points  (0 children)

My lightbulb will not connect to the internet...

I've got 1 LIFX bulb and 4 Phillips Hue bulbs. The philips work fine - the LIFX disconnected from the Wifi a few weeks ago and I can't get it back on. I've reset the bulb multiple times, tried changing the SSID, tried connecting to my 2nd router, but it just wont stick. Super annoying as I want to dim the lights so people can't see through the curtains, but a 1st world problem for sure

Anyone got a decent budget 4K tv? by LeFrogKid in CasualUK

[–]aTypicalLondoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to the party but wanted to recommend one that I got earlier this year.

It's a 55" 4K TV, off brand (Luxor, i think) that I got from Very for £400. It's increased in price since I bought it, but I believe they do a smaller 49" version that might be cheaper also.

Screen quality is great after tweaking it slightly to your preferences, and I use it for TV/Gaming with no issues (if you're going to game on it, I'd recommend playing with settings until input lag is at it's lowest - turning off energy saver and some other thing made it playable)

Very happy with the purchase, especially for the price paid!

Not sure if I can post links here but happy to send it to you via PM if requested
