I recently found an email in my spam folder that I was unaware of but when I read it, was a bit concerned. The mail quoted my password from CUK. It is only used here at CUK. The mail threatened to encrypt my PC if I didn't pay a ransom. I haven't paid, and I haven't been encrypted. But should I be...

I am looking to do Salesforce Integration to take a product and put it on the App Exchange. Have done the functional specs for the initial end customer and interested in: a) What are the do's and don't of this? b) Anyone got any recommendations or interested in doing this?

Has anyone experience of buying broadband for multiple locations in the USA? I need to get a single contract that covers a number of locations across 6 different states, but from what I gather the broadband market is quite fragmented, and its hard to get one provider to cover multiple states....

OK, I could go and trawl Google for answers but this is easier and I'm feeling lazy. I have a column in an excel file, each cell of which holds the contents of a free text field exported as a report from a ticketing tool. The field contains multiple entries separated by a time stamp using a...

No Mojave for me or my MBP :ohwell Time to look at PCs I guess.

Has anyone had any solar installations on their roofs in the past year or two? I'm thinking about doing it, as we get what feels like a lot of sun (even though we're up at 53.6deg) and the entire back half of the roof is due south facing. I'm reluctant to get on the phone to any of the firms...

Wife looks something up on her own device (laptop with chrome browser) under own google and microsoft accounts etc I get targeted advertisements on my mobile device's (chrome) browser for exactly what she just searched on. This can't be coincidence as it too niche and exactly what she was looking...

Need a real expert here. After installing an SSL certificate I found Worldpay was not working on the shopping cart although I had done all the obvious changes to URLs. Worldpay told me it was because the SSL certificate was using SNI which they did not support. Hostpapa told me that would be...

I've watched a course on Docker, even use it at the current client. But I'm struggling to see what problems it solves. I'm not being critical it's probably that I've not experienced the issues that docker solves. In the real world of software development/deployment when does it really become...

I've got a bit of a weird issue with my MacBook Pro which for the life of me I cannot fathom. My Mac is domain joined and whilst at home, the password is synced with AD. The SSID the Mac connects to at home is also driven by AD (Radius authentication using NPS on Windows Server 2016). When I'm...

I have the 1+3 which cost me £300 2-and-a-bit years ago. I've enjoyed it but it is developing faults with charging and audio socket and loath as I am to have a phone last such a short time, I'm considering replacing. The 1+6 is a much more expensive beast and I see prices have steadily increased...

Working with a small company who is looking to move their phone line to "the cloud". Currently there is a BT landline in an office (1 phone number). The calls are then diverted to a home phone as the office staff work remotely (it's a job share, 1 person does Mon-Wed, one does Thur/Fri). Now,...

Title about covers it. Search for my website and see a couple of pages listed but links are direct to the mobile version. Anyone clicking the Google link is going to the mobile page (designed for under 720px) which looks pretty carp on a desktop. In the google page it has: ...

Any of you keyboard kids tell me why the returned JISON from a web service captilises and adds underscores to variable names? So CompanyCode in my server code becomes companY_CODE in the JISON. I Feel like I need a crystal ball.

Someone here wants to use this little lot & I noticed it uses Delphi. https://www.makerfabs.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=311 Seems like an odd choice until you find this: https://www.hackster.io/visuino/products/visuino-graphical-development-environment-for-arduino ...

Does anyone have up to date experience of hosting a pretty much vanilla phpBB installation? I have a new requirement for a niche forum, so lowish traffic. Low cost of running preferred but needs to have decent reliability. An easy install solution preferred but not essential. Decent low cost...

My youngest is starting his 2nd year Maths, Physics and Design A levels and is looking to get in to civil engineering or chartered surveying. He doesn't want to go to uni so looking at degree apprenticeships which I imagine will be in high demand. I was thinking of sending him on a Prince 2 or...
