A number of folks I know have had their accounts hacked recently. Recovery is painful, if it happens at all. Prevention is better than cure:-

- Enable App-based 2FA
- Use a strong, unique password
- Do not click on unsolicited links, especially in DMs, but always, anyway.

@WoollerEmma @Jennife10651535 Thanks.

[David S @david__s]

@TakeThatClouds @spenley Ditto 😕

@Jennife10651535 When you’re over this hospital stay, or anonymously, write to the Data Protection Office to report a personal data breach…

@policywonkier @GRCinemaTicket Exactly 😊

The fact that all the exterior shots for both were filmed in Bristol, where I went to secondary school, has nothing to do with it…

@Jennife10651535 It probably takes hours for the login process to complete, hence they leave it logged-in 😬

@Jennife10651535 👍

[David S @david__s]

@policywonkier @GRCinemaTicket No, sorry. Never really a big fan 😕

[David S @david__s]

@policywonkier @GRCinemaTicket Yeah, with OFAH and The Young Ones tied for second 🙂

@maisiethetortie @Jennife10651535 I hope so!

@BishopAerospace <<
If the locomotive starts and then stops, it might come to rest before the 'pull' effect has made it to the last wagon, which itself may start moving and them stop long after the loco itself did. And the push from the last wagon may ripple back up to the loco! Welcome to A/C😀

[David S @david__s]

@BishopAerospace 😀 it's actually remarkably similar to mech eng in, in many places. Think voltage as pressure, current as flow in a fluid. But in more mechanical terms, imagine a bunch of railway wagons connected together with spongy springs and poor shock-absorbers...

@BishopAerospace @MakeAugusta Nope, impedance is the dynamic equivalent of resistance, taking into accounts the reactance (effect of capacitance and inductance) in an AC circuit.

@FHawksworth @valhumphreys51 @Johnrashton47 I don’t think there was any “old school network” involved, more “the right sort of person” to be a doctor 🙄

[David S @david__s]

@FHawksworth @valhumphreys51 @Johnrashton47 Yeah!😬 That would have been late 60s v. early 70s. She’s a bit older than me, but I recall it being the topic of dinner table discussion, that they were more interested in her bridge record than her academic one 🙄

@valhumphreys51 Apparently, ham is “bad for you” 🤷🏻‍♂️
