Toast 16,116 Posted October 8, 2020 Passwords. Google is nagging me to change them. The vast majority of these are of no importance, they are sites that I have had to register to read or post and then rarely if ever visit again. I have no recollection at all of some of them. I guess I should make sure that anything involving money should have a unique password. There are a number of ticketing sites, for instance. Should I be concerned about anything else?

Later that evening, he got ads on facebook for the excact same models and he has never searched for anything related to it. And back in December, I talked to my brother about going to a restaurant in a different city from us, and Reddit started giving me ads for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes you wonder if it's worth having passwords at all if we're all being spied on to this degree. That's why in Denmark, we have a system where everything that has to do with money, requires a password only you can have access to in the form of a card with unique codes. For example, if I want to buy something I will need to sign in using the code. I have mine in paperform, it gives me a random number that I need to find the code for to process it. I assume, in your case, that Google is protective due to reports of compromised websites, but as long your password has at least one capital letter, 2 or 3 numbers and a special sign such as € or $, you're safe. My passwords has been compromised for years on different sites but the people obtaining your passwords must know your email and logins to sites like Amazon etc. to even use them. And as a rule of thumb, always have a 2-factor authorization for sites with your credit card on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, I'd imagine everyone is the same given that more and more of these bastard sites want an email just to view the front page it seems. It's not that hard to clean up, just a bit tedious. I cleaned mine up and for the same reason really. Since I was doing it I also finally got around to a using password vault so that each site has a different (strong) password all locked away behind one immensely strong (and best unforgettable...) master password. I used Bitwarden because it doesn't charge for sync across devices But there are several others that are free to use with some limitations, LastPass is a popular one and reportedly easier to use than bitwarden which is a bit geeky apparently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed on one occasion the next day I had the usual pop up adverts on FB and/or Google... what was unusual was that a few of the ads were for products that were launched on that show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,084 Posted December 23, 2020 Is there a thread for predicting the death of someone famous on Xmas Day itself? Just wondering, as a few years ago a neighbour in my village pegged it on Xmas Day and he is forever remembered at this time of year. Great way to go if you are a celeb seeking immortality.

Then one day, they were gone. I've no idea why but they went out of business on 19th February 2019. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10640681 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,903 Posted February 3, 2021 A question for the cat hates among you.

Just the domestic moggy. Tigers are cool. And it's a one-way dislike too. There's a house party and the house cat walks into a room of cat lovers? Guaranteed its going to ignore all of them and make a beeline to try and catch my attention. This has happened a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting, thanks. I have heard other cat haters say the same thing about cats always making a beeline for them. In a similar vein it's always me that birds tend to fly into.

torbrexbones 717 Posted February 6, 2021 Does anyone know what I have done to the settings on the Edge browser that is now not letting me see any video clips on the BBC website? I don't recall changing anything and I can see clips on all other sites that I have tried but just not on the BBC site. I can use other browsers and see the clips but not using Edge.

Mine won’t let me watch any YouTube vis-a-vis embedded links. If I open up a browser to Youtube website and find the video I can watch it no problem.
