So uh....WPA2 has been completely and utterly broken security wise by the sounds of things.

Anything with WiFi needs an update to resolve this. Phones, tablets, computers, routers...

And a lot of routers probably just won't get updated

Public wifi has always been a risky business, and the advice of "use https for anything sensitive" still holds true. It should still help here.

Pushing me further to thinking I should set up my own VPN though.

I don’t recall ever seeing the sky quite like this.... it’s *so* grey and yellow, almost like something out of a strange film. Most peculiar.

It's like those Californian wildfires are happening here.

It came with this plug. Is this normal? I can't understand why it doesn't have a standard UK plug. I have tweeted Bose and got nothing back (yet). I really CBA to have to go into town again to query it in the shop.

(NB: it charges off a normal usb socket, so I can still use it, but the supplied Bose one is really neat and quite smart looking.)

This is what I got, mainly for kitchen/garden use. It's great. £180.

Would appear they're selling European stock. Whether that's normal for Bose products is another matter. It would cut down on costs not having to create/ship a product exclusively for the UK market. Only products that I've ever bought that perpetually come with a two-prong plug is toothbrushes and electric shavers for the 5 people that have such a socket in their bathroom.



Same thing with me with my Phillips sound bar. The PS3 PS4 standard kettle lead usually replaces it.

The economy is heading that way so the weather might as well.

For those that don't mind getting a plane to Iceland, they're doing 100 Jaffa Cakes for £4 at the moment. Stock up for Winter.

Its the remnants of a recent duststorm which has blown over from north Africa.

It’s not, it’s viral marketing for that Geostorm movie.

My flat is in a Court. It’s the bottom bloke if a sloping area and forms a nice wind tunnel.

It’s pretty lively out there. Old dear walking past has just had her her arranged to Carlos Valderramma look.

Should be an interesting evening.

Guys. The unthinkable has happened.

Someone from work has found out about GRcade. :dread:
I was browsing this morning on my computer (incognito mode innit) and a colleague snuck up on me looking through Pics & GIFs and said "What's GRcade? Is it like the dark web?"

I may have to leave and start a new life elsewhere.
Goodbye forever!

:dread: :cry:

Lies detected - the logo is unreadable in most cases so you must have told him what the site is called.

Impeach Lewis.

This is worse than that time you nearly caught wanking in the boss' office at work or when you were sniffing all the seats before everyone else came in.

I just hope he's deleted that post calling all his workmates 'absolute arseholes'. Imagine what would happen if they read that.
