I'm talking about the Google Authenticator app not having a fingerprint option or password when you open it, has that changed?

What I don't like now is it's easy to accidentally swipe and delete a code if not paying attention which could be a disaster, is there an option to stop the swipe other than a warning after the event? Atleast if I delete from Microsoft Authenticator it won't instantly remove from all devices.

The printer itself can find and install new firmware though.

One thing never changes, paper jams. No one has solved that one .

6 missed deliveries later, I went to their local store and saw loads of stock of what I had ordered. I tried to order it for home delivery but was told "All that lot is for trade sales only, mate."

No chance of getting it all during the pandemic, and after it all settled down, the prices were around 40% higher and still haven't dropped. I fully expect the war in the Middle East to jack the prices even higher.

It's things like this that stress me out.

Just logged into My Virginmedia and can't see anything about this charge currently, so I'm hoping that text message was just an automated text by their due date, has anyone else had this experience and it has sorted itself out?

Currently in an Instagram chat with them so let's see how that goes as I don't want to phone up, so if this gets no where I'll be emailing the CEO office if a bill actually shows up.

I'll try their other VM site chat over the weekend too.

Not getting anywhere on these security questions, they asked what my last bill was I said £0.00, they ask when my next bill date was I said I don't have a next bill date because I've left VM! They now say they can send a letter and it'll take 3-5 working days to get everything updated and this is just to get through security.

They're so hopelessly bad it's a joke.

Every time i instantly reply they then don't reply for another 20 odd mins and they close at 8pm.

I'll try messaging the other chat after work tomorrow.

Got this months bill . . £4.80 more than usual

click the link to 'view bill' and instead of going where I should go, I end up an a 'new' VM/O2 place that requires my email (did it) then another email for back up - allegedly.

Now screw this, if VM are locking customers out of their own damn account they can :2up:

So got the electric pump out and filled it up, drove home 15 miles without anymore low tyre warnings and will check it again in the morning.

I'm surprised it didn't trigger the warning at something like 28psi so I'm confused how it got so low and was still able to drive home after filling it.

Edit
Failed to get it replaced early enough for work at 1pm, I tried to put the space saver on but couldn't release atleast one of the wheel nuts so I'm going to pump it up before work and again after work and hope it will be OK, the cars booked in at 8.45 for a replacement. Worst case if the tyre gets worse I will call the RAC out but don't really want to do that.

If I tilt the mower 45 degrees to the right it works but as soon as I pay it flat it stops.

I've just had a reply from Bosch saying as the battery appears to charge as it should I need to phone a number to arrange collection but I'm not ready for that as I would need to box it up assuming I still have a box and hopefully they don't need me home for collection.
