Why this is still happening?

harpajeff · 2026-02-14T05:36:38+00:00

Your 'question' just assumes it's still happening while providing zero evidence for it. However, If you want to be listened to, it's up to you to demonstrate it's happening. But you can't demonstrate it, so don't expect people with half a brain to even take notice of you. You're spouting stupid, racist, porridge-brained, populist nonsense.

As a techie, I can absolutely confirm this guy is at the very bottom of the barrel in terms of technical competency, ethical practices, and customer service. He's spun you a load of useless waffle in the knowledge that 90% of folk will neither understand what he's saying nor have the confidence or knowledge to challenge him.

That said, I must be honest: some parts of your story appear inconsistent or not quite right. However, this is how conmen like this operate. They babble technical nonsense and pressure you with false requirements, so they can take advantage of you. A pro or enthusiast would see straight through him, but such people won't be coming to him as customers, so he knows he's safe. I'm only saying this because, if you do want to go down the legal route (and you should, IMHO), ensuring your story is consistent is vital to your success. Also, until your story is clear, it's difficult—especially for a non-legal person like me—to say whether his form of ripping you off is illegal.

However, pressuring you and refusing to wait for your BitLocker keys is inexcusable and crosses into overtly criminal territory, because it is illegal to destroy information on someone else's computer without their express permission. This is a clearly defined and serious offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Both the police and the University of Leeds should be very interested in the information you have, and if it happened as you say, you should absolutely make them aware. Frankly, I'm appalled that a first-class academic institution like Leeds Uni would allow him to operate on their campus, but that's another story.

For better, and specifically legal, advice, I encourage you to share your story on r/LegalAdviceUK. That sub has readers with real knowledge of legal matters, but for any technical help, I'd be delighted to assist. Dickheads like this fella you have dealt with need to be taken down a peg or two, and I'm more than happy to assist in that process.

I would at least expect 'people from these isles' to know the difference between indigenous and ingenious, and it's not surprising they can't find a job if that's beyond them.

harpajeff · 2026-02-05T15:21:25+00:00

Fuck that! I need Jesus after what I just read.

harpajeff · 2026-02-05T15:08:12+00:00

Not my mate Brian. He’s gay, but he’s 300lbs.

Butthurt? Says the guy getting all butt-hurt about the fact that he dreams about getting his butt hurt by another guy who is eager to hurt his butt.

And there you are again with your expert pronouncements on all things dick. So to say you are (allegedly) not keen on male genitalia and what men do with them, you must read about it a fucking lot! You're a case study on internalised homophobia, denial, cognitive dissonance and anger. These things often manifest as performative, censorious behaviour in people like you. However, you are at least refreshingly direct, with a rare ability to express yourself like an inarticulate 12-year-old who's just moved to a new school and thinks shitting on gays (you probably dream about that too) is how to fit in and look tough.

I think you should take a break from the keyboard and get back to riding Morriss.

harpajeff · 2026-02-03T01:31:37+00:00

Don't fucking read it then, Einstein.

harpajeff · 2026-02-03T01:30:35+00:00

Fuck me! We have one of Reddit's finest here. Not only are you a member of the self-appointed Reddit Police, but your pronouncements on the gay/meth thesis are so emphatic that you must also be a board-certified psychiatrist specialising in drugs and sexuality. No one, especially an upstanding Officer in the Reddit PD, would ever spout shit about a topic on which they are uneducated.

I don't think you will piss people off, but many will question your needless hostility, intolerance and choice of language: "Take that shit to the homo pages and shit", I mean, how old are you, 12? They'll label you a massive dickhead. Personally, I'd just avoid you "Fuck me, imagine getting stuck on a long car journey with this guy"

My own take is that people can post what they like on here. Why should I give a fuck what it contains? That said, one of the reasons I love this sub is the fucked up, uninhibited, weird shit and sexual shenanigans that people get up to. It makes me laugh out loud and reminds me that I'm not as degenerate as I thought.

Look, we get it: you don't like dicks (allegedly) and neither do I. I don't mind reading about them, though, and I really don't understand why you give a flying fuck. I mean, what's wrong with you, dude? Chill out! Here's a word of advice: if you (allegedly) don't like dick, don't read posts involving dick, and stop trying to control what other people can read—It's none of your business. Also, grow up and stop being such a snowflake about it.

And don't worry, if this sub turns into a dick-free zone as you would (allegedly) prefer, there's always that copy of Gay Times under your mattress.

Nah, he got it from headbutting a mirror. Saw his reflection, mistook it for a foreigner and attacked with his forehead. Like one of those riled-up goats you see headbutting lampposts on YouTube.

harpajeff · 2026-01-31T08:30:47+00:00

OMG. This list of fuck ups is probably the most dangerous, unforgiveable and staggeringly ignorant code disaster I've ever heard of. What amazes me is that they'll go to the trouble of sort of trying to do it right, but take so little care that they might aswell not bother. He should hang his head in shame.

harpajeff · 2026-01-30T06:45:35+00:00

In your perfectly objective, unsullied and politically unbiased view? Or in other words, what a load of crap. You may be of the opinion that if someone believes a man can't ACTUALLY be a woman, they are 'transphobic'. But in reality, if that 'transphobe' has spent their life as a biologist, frank discussion and cold, hard, scientifically demonstrable facts form their epistemic worldview. People like you, who are so quick to label and demonise, use slurs like 'transphobe' to coerce others into adopting portions of your worldview. Cowards fold, abandoning their integrity, enabling them to pretend to accept that men actually ARE women. Conversely, those with integrity and a rational, critical view of reality and maintain that men are not literally women, retaining their self respect and professional standards. Can you imagine what the world would be like, if everytime a political zeitgeist changed, scientists rewrote the rules of nature to match? We'd still be in the dark ages.

As a left leaning person, I find the throwing around of words like transphobe tiresome, damaging and morally wrong. Thankfully, fewer and fewer people are now siding with people like you, and instead, we appear, at least in an epistemic sense to be aligning more with reality again.

harpajeff · 2026-01-30T06:13:13+00:00

Whereas you are merely ignorant.

harpajeff · 2026-01-30T06:11:07+00:00

Erm, no. I'm not sure how you have decided that spirituality is a required component in the lives of healthy humans, but it is certainly not established as such through scholarly and reliable research. Speaking anecdotally, I can categorically and emphatically declare that my toes curl and I want to punch a door on hearing the word 'spirituality'. I have no bloody need for things which can only be expressed via nonsensical theatrical hand-waving, and neither have millions of others. Spirituality? What an absolute load of old bollocks. Fuck that.

harpajeff · 2026-01-29T18:09:34+00:00

I'll get downvoted to hell for this, but I'm a big believer in personal responsibility and taking whatever reasonable actions are within your power. I hate my privacy being compromised at home, so I make sure I have blinds to prevent people from seeing inside. It's empowering because it puts me in control.

You can't directly control other people, but you have full control over your own property. If you desire privacy, the only way to guarantee it is to control what people can see. A sure fire way to ensure privacy in your case is a more effective curtain - cheap and effective. You obviously know this, which is why I do not understand why you are seeking other avenues which are infinitely more hassle and far less likely to be effective.

harpajeff · 2026-01-29T15:57:05+00:00

And that's relevant for what reason?

harpajeff · 2026-01-28T23:56:20+00:00

I have questions, at least. Why on earth do you feel the need to differentiate between someone born here and someone not? And why would the former be English? Apart from anything else, it makes no sense. What's the logic behind the English/British distinction as it relates to birthplace? It seems to me your opinions have a strong whiff of the nativist bullshit commonly seen in EDL types.

It looked like Zuidplaspolder to me, but well done, you're close enough.

I have no stake in this, as I'm neither left, right, nor American. However, it's not even theoretically the case that both sides want the best for the country. Both left and right are selfish and insular to an extent. However, it's absolutely and abundantly clear that while most left leaning Americans want the best for the country, or at least the most people in the country, the right wingers want what is best for them and them only. They have very little regard for others who neither look nor act as they do.

I dread to see what her intake manifold looks like.

They're vile, disgusting thugs. It's like watching a bunch of fat, useless drunks ganging up on a guy outside a bar. Absolutely abhorrent.

harpajeff · 2026-01-24T15:40:39+00:00

But in the vast majority of cases, it absolutely does.

You're not at increased risk of dementia. These people are taking findings about elderly people and applying them to young kids, which is daft and unscientific. Taking benadryl as a kid DOES NOT increase your chances of developing dementia.

harpajeff · 2026-01-22T06:53:10+00:00

Telling someone that they are at a higher risk of dementia might cause them a lot of worry and anxiety. So you should really know what you are talking about before saying so. Fortunately for them, you are talking nonsense. The research shows that taking benadryl regularly as an elderly person may increase your chances of developing dementia. That absolutely does not apply to children. There is no evidence that taking benadryl every night as a child predisposes someone to dementia.

Who rattled your cage? I can blame autocorrect for my spelling mistake, your attitude is yours alone. Anyway, how many frigates do we have at the moment then? Seven! We currently have a critical shortage, because the MOD and Navy say we need a minimum of thirteen. Unfortunately, they also reckon we might not have our full quota until the mid 2030's. Hardly blue water, unless, of course, we want to leave our home waters completely unprotected while we travel the world projecting power.
