@RoyalMail Got a redelivery card on Wed, not in Thurs so booked Friday, stayed in, nothing, Friday booked today, stayed in, page now says I can book Monday. Is it true that this page doesn't work until we _also_ give an email address. Is this also not a breach of UK ICO rules?

@quickerbybike @London_Cycling @CyclingWorksLDN @MayorofLondon Look how few cars there are using the parallel road!

I just got a call "from @TfL", private number. Asked for name, email and security answer. "You could be anyone"... "it's because we're working from home". Reasonable reason, that anyone can use... #cybersecurity #infosec #wfh

@flysky_rc upon pairing gt2e to fs-gr3e RX the controls seem to have become non responsive. Any advice?

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@TfL your phone support asked to read out my email using phonetic alphabet(!), and then when I said my email was https://t.co/P9wIxvT7rK.uk@__THE_DOMAIN_I_OWN__.com hung up on me... what gives?

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@schoolgateway I see our 4 digit PIN is actually used like a password... Presumably you're doing something clever to stop someone with 9999 email addresses of parents using 9999 AWS Lambda functions... Also how much of my credit card details did you store in a db or similar?

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@asda_mobile I get it, but having a website that tends to reject password manager generated passwords will lead to password re-use or variations of words with E's instead of 3's for example, which will often be in rainbow tables...

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@asda_mobile password manager generated "7=Mb,$"\Dt)qZOSd>,*d?8gKu" to register with, looks like it meets your 1 upper, 1 number and 1 special requirements, but it your site says it's not good enough to register... is it too complicated... 🤪

@RoyalMailHelp You'd think they'd be the same service, but for whatever reason they're not... Maybe someone could just twiddle with the DNS to fix (yes, sometimes it not that easy either)

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@RoyalMail I think this works on your computer, but nobody elses... #javascript #localhost

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@RoyalMailHelp It's fine, I found that https://t.co/ah8iAyqqA2 works but https://t.co/hM7KKR7Q3R is borked.

@AskNationwide I think that is somewhat different to "Putting our members first"...

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@AskNationwide I'm just wondering why at the point of mortgage acceptance you do an XSS request to DoubleClick... I'm also not a fan of you using Adobe DemDex (Ad tracking) while logged in to Online Banking...

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@AskNationwide It seems that you might be spamming mortgage approvals (and rejections?) over to DoubleClick (a Google owned advertising network) because that's the way it was set up? If that is the case, do you feel that that is a moral thing to do?

Hi @cj_dinenage 👋 Here are a few things about the draft #OnlineSafetyBill:

👉 It'll erode our fundamental freedoms

👉 This kafkesaque plan will cost £2.1 billion

👉 Doesn't it concern you that regulating #freespeech puts us on par with China, Russia, North Korea?

@RoyalMailHelp 'Just thinking that Royal mail 48 should guarantee 48 hour delivery, not aim to deliver in 72...

[Matthew Forrester @forbesmyester]

@RoyalMail Tracked 48... Aims to deliver your parcel in less than 48 × 90 minutes?

@EbenUpton @protikdas @Raspberry_Pi RPi OS gets updates from RPi's OS's repo's. That is a very high degree of trust, as it is, effectively, admin rights. To pass that trust on to a third party without being absolutely sure that that is OK'd be person who granted it, is a very severe breach of that trust.
