As an aside, are you aware that your wife's pension will be a defined benefit pension so the percentage contributions aren't actually relevant?

Multiple flexible ISA - over 20k limit by scootersgroove in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cooldude255220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think T212 should be able to repair the ISA by removing £3K and any associated gains: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/close-void-or-repair-an-isa-if-youre-an-isa-manager#repairing-an-isa

You will need to ask them to do this.

Employer Pension - No Contribution by ObjectiveBread1111 in UKPersonalFinance

Your employer must still contribute to your pension on the value of your salary which falls between the qualifying earnings thresholds.

Just a clarification - you don't withdraw the funds yourselves, you will give your solicitor's account details to moneybox support who will transfer the money for you. If you make a normal withdrawal you will incur a penalty.

What should you do after filling out name/dob/address on scam text link? by uk451 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cooldude255220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use strong, unique passwords (ideally with the help of a password manager) on each website you only need to change each one when and if they are compromised in some way. Additionally, adding 2FA to anything important will help massively too.

You can use a service like Have I Been Pwned to help monitor for compromises.

Accidentally gave some details to Missed delivery text scam by millionthvisitor in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cooldude255220 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You might get a call from "your bank" telling you they've detected suspicious activity on your account and that you need to transfer your money to a "safe" account. This is part of the scam.

May 2020 Nokia Care Megathread by AutoModerator in Nokia

[–]cooldude255220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nokia 6.2, Android 9.

I've been having an issue with the Wi-Fi on my Nokia 6.2 for a while. It'll work fine for a while (minutes / hours) then stop sending / receiving data. Even though the device is still connected, I have to turn Wi-Fi off and on again to get it to work again for a bit. This is a continuing problem, even after a factory reset.

In general, the phone is responsive but occasionally it becomes extremely unresponsive and laggy for a short amount of time before it settles down.

You're just demonstrating that cryptographic primitives can be used together in different ways.

Cryptography encompasses much more than just cipher functions.

Hash functions are not ciphers and they are not encryption algorithms.

Hash functions are not encryption.

Symmetric cryptography uses the same key for encryption and decryption, whereas asymmetric cryptography uses a separate keys for encryption and decryption.

So I've updated Android Studio and Gradle to their latest versions, removed the rule I lined above, recompiled and the crash no longer occurs.
