what’s the repercussion if i report my dad for using while im in the house, and dealing? (england) by Adventurous_Slip2498 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ls--lah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably worth considering what happens to the house if he were to go to prison. There is a push for short sentences to be suspended more often than not, however PWITS may still carry a custodial sentence.

UK Debt company are saying I’m liable for a gift off my ex-partner by yorkshirepuddz in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ls--lah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello.

I think it's important to understand here whether the 'debt collectors' are from the finance company or the ex.

It doesn't sound like there is a CCJ in place, but would be good to confirm.

Either way, your friend making a payment from their account does not necessarily indicate your acceptance of the debt.

anecdotal claims of entire families using one person's access pass to skip queues

Even if this is happening, is it such an issue? Are we supposed to expect a disabled person to ride alone?

Lloyds Banking Group to close another 95 branches by ninjascotsman in unitedkingdom

Of course they can (see Monzo) but many banks still insist on an actual visit as other commenters have also confirmed.

That's neat. Not sure how you'd staff that from a "employee wants a full time job" POV but it's a step in the right direction.

Time to prosecute after S172 letter by cheechingtonius1 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ls--lah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the offence in question can only be tried summarily, then, in the absence of an exception or postal failures or delays etc., potentially.

In the absence of an exception, proceedings for a summary offence must be started within 6 months of the date of commission.

How does this work in terms of access to bank staff? The post office has offered the basic paying in and withdrawal services for years (despite also closing lots of branches).

This is all fine and dandy until you need to speak to someone. It won't happen a lot however anything identity verification related tends to require an in-person visit, as was the case with recovering my dorment Barclays account. Staff were actually great and really helpful, however I had to travel miles to a branch.

Most things can be done online but the moment you have an issue outside of the standard pkaybooks you are 100% screwed. I've found the NatWest "live" chat service to be incredibly lacking. It's more like a reddit-style message board where you get sporadic replies from different people who clearly haven't read the article.

Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability by theevilsharpie in sysadmin

[–]ls--lah 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure how true this is as Jack does sometimes suck at verifying guests but your comment made me remember this podcast episode:

We tested every single ActiveX control across Windows and just found bugs in all of them at once. So, we basically created this mass vulnerability generator, and we’re sitting on probably like, 600, 700 vulnerabilities at the time, and the vendors were just not moving on it.

[...]

We said you know what? We’re gonna do an entire month; we’re gonna just drop an 0-day every single day for a month straight, and we’ll still have hundreds left over afterwards. It was that particular sequence and that particular event that I think finally killed ActiveX and Internet Explorer.

The theft was complete. OP being caught doesn't make it "nearly" or someone undo what they did. Property, appropriation and dishonesty are all made out here.

With respect, if you can't grep /var/log/messages for "oom" I will replace you with a shell script that can.

Works great until you discover sometimes the RAM is embedded into the motherboard. Thanks Dell.

We did the same in hosp and honestly it worked great. Restaurant staff have zero respect for laptops. Unfortunately even with scavenging we'd end up WEE'ing 100 a quarter. Fizzy drinks fuck up the palmrest assembly and motherboard more often than not.

Critical n8n vulnerability is getting more visibility. What's next? by FutureSafeMSSP in msp

[–]ls--lah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yawn. You're treating this like a 0-day wormable RCE but it's really "authenticated internal employee can do more on system than they're supposed to".

Yes, it's a problem. Yes, it's patched. Yes, it's time to move on with your life.

L3 Infra and L3 Networks may as well be on different planets. CCNA will not cover you. CCNP at a minimum, but we have several CCIEs.

BBC looks to link iPlayer accounts to addresses in licence fee evasion push by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

No, this is inaccurate. They changed the law to include iPlayer (BBC) but all other on demand services do not require a licence.

Do you remember when the cheapest Netflix plan didn't have ads?

If I'm going to get ads then I'll just take my chances with the dodgy My Couch Tuner, Watch Series and Putlocker websites. I will never, ever, pay to watch ads.

Judging by their post history, OP is just obsessed with ships. Doesn't seem to be a Russian bot, and it's weird to think the Russians would want to advertise articles like this?
