@bookingcom That's all well and good, but someone has accessed a lot of my booking details recently, and has built a site to phish https://t.co/SwlwDHY4dy users. If a breach has occurred you have a legal obligation to inform those affected quickly. If no breach occurred, what happened?

[Antony Male @antonymale]

Hey @bookingcom. I just got spear-phished by someone who had my booking number, booking dates, hotel, name, and phone. Have you been breached? What's going on?

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@bookingcom So you and the hotel are both blaming each other? This breach surely poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of affected individuals, and under GDPR you need to notify them without undue delay.

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@bookingcom The hotel said "We have learned of irregularities with https://t.co/Lo0iOOSbmf which resulted in guests of many hotels being contacted via WhatsApp and asked for payment" which sounds like you've been breached. Shouldn't you inform those affected, so they can avoid being phished?

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@bookingcom Will do shortly, thanks. I didn't fall for it, but they have a very convincing landing page set up to take card details, which rather suggests that they've got a lot of breached details to work with.

@troyhunt @stripe UK here. Things like lunch are a one-off: makes sense for someone to put in on their card then expense it. For recurring costs which might be mission-critical, that doesn't make sense: people leave, go on holiday, etc. Much better to bill to finance dept, and that means invoices

@stoofer2 @PathoPhyto (The photo doesn't show the hotel grounds as it claims. The hotel is just the structure in the background, which looks intact (fingers crossed!). I was there last year)

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@stoofer2 @PathoPhyto The hotel in the background is the Boutique 5 hotel and spa. In the foreground I think is a stables. https://t.co/f3fIvA3M3r

Hey @PureAudioWorld . Can I set up custom internet radio stations on the Evoke Spot? The only info I can find online is for the Elan Connect. Thanks!

@engineers_feed You now enter positive feedback until either the wheels or the conveyor fail, or the wind induced by the now-hypersonic conveyor tears the plane apart

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@engineers_feed The conveyor tears itself apart. Start with everything stationary. Then apply a small force to the plane. The wheels turn slightly, so the conveyor's control system drives it backwards to match the wheel speed. But now the wheels are being driven by the conveyor and speed up more

@AdmiralUK Hi. I sent you a DM this morning

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@AdmiralUK I must say, this is a kick in the teeth to your own customers. We want to hear an apology for your shocking service, and a plan and timeline for how you will improve and get our trust back, not you patting yourselves on the back, apparently ignorant of how bad things are

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@AdmiralUK Right, and it's within those hours at the moment, yet web chat is not available. It hasn't been available the other times I've tried to access it either.

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@AdmiralUK @ChristieLee1989 Your webchat doesn't work. "Contact us online" here https://t.co/oyTCCrd0BM doesn't actually let you start a web chat.

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@AdmiralUK claims are literally impossible to get hold of. The system hangs up on you if you're in a queue for half an hour. Although if you get lucky and are shuffled between queues, it can be an hour or more before you get hung up on! Pathetic. Avoid at all costs.

@AvfcRick @rachelparris @StephenMangan @davechannel I love that one of the live changes to the script itself became out of date around the time that recording finished...

[Antony Male @antonymale]

@BelloneDavide It was introduced for async/await, so that's one obvious use case. Pub/sub is another, where the publisher fails and the subscriber wants to be notified on a different thread. Related: doing an operating in the background and notifying the UI thread of failure
