:-) I’d forgotten that

Used to be Orange (I’m old school or just old) - best network around my way at least

Replace BBC with Labour

Can’t remember Harris staging an insurrection for ‘balance’

Great article Joe - I’ll be sending that out to my team to read this morning.

Same here. When I get told to ‘get over it’ I refuse to ignore the continued pain and damage it does (not least the lost £500b in tax revenue)

I’m amazed that so many stay with the big mobile firms. If you want the latest both Apple & Google do interest-free options & a SIM only deal from Spusu (Orange network) or Lebara can be had from a fiver a month. So a new iPhone 17 would cost less less than £40 a month (even less if you trade in)

Agreed - I really like Pino. You don’t become a full Spanish international (playing for various national teams since he was 15) without a very decent level of talent. I could really see him becoming an Eze type player.

I’ve seen this first hand with my best friend, a highly skilled psychotherapist who worked incredibly hard in the NHS but just couldn’t cope. He was a team leader as well & all his spare time was spent doing management functions. Work related stress was a contributing factor to his suicide 2 yrs ago

It really shouldn’t be this hard and then they whack up the price of the Office suite because you can. Seriously moving all my personal stuff off Windows. It really has gone downhill.

It sucks beyond belief. Win 11 is just awful. We’re having to replace half our laptops even those running 16Gb ram which used to be perfectly OK for an office laptop. Not anymore. Yet I can install Linux Mint 22 on a 10 yr old MacBook using an early i5 processor and 4Gb ram and it runs like a dream

Yes agreed. I object to what it is being hijacked to represent and I expect a damn sight more from a supposed journalist.

We’ve used it in several client presentations- I will chat to the pen testers team and see if they can get it written up for a white paper.

Ah yes the days of memorising your home telephone number just in case (still remember it 645 0969 :-) )

This really shouldn’t come as any surprise. AI coding will just do (in theory) what you ask it to do. It makes no attempt at security. We’ve run POCs with our pen testers and website coding is rife with simple exploits - cross site scripting, no input validation checks. All really basic stuff.

Indeed - you would have to say the thought must have occurred to more than a few employees.

Just another extension of insider threat I guess. The temptation when being involved with the negotiations for very large sums of money obviously proved too tempting.

There are lots of things they could do (applying VAT to financial investments could probably raise £10 to £15billion) but what they actually do will be very telling…
