What cheeses me off

[Pushka]

Check to see if they have activated the Microsoft Company Portal app, which is used to manage mobile devices - allows the company to do remote wipes of data, lock the device etc. If you don't have that on your android/apple device, sometimes the authentication doesn't work.

Husband and I are the company. First we knew of it.

my first thought always jumps to … did it come from Microsoft and not microsoft_authentication.com.ru or the like?

 

[TheRealTMA]

I'm sure it does for some. But not recognising the email I'd just used to log in, in order to get the security message that I'd entered an email that doesn't exist, was kind of a bust for me.

WRT that’s not Microsoft authentication problem but your corporate it system.

When I was a kid in the 50s, I kissed our dog, ate dirt, my brother had a walk in aviary and I kissed budgies, ran around in the full sun, ate assorted cough, sugar and fats !!

aren’t we lucky one can use Microsoft authentication these days!

In which case Microsoft got hacked then. And their app on Apple Store.

And what do you say about Mr Dyson's contribution of blasting air all around toilets?

Not a fan and that wasn’t meant to be a pun

That sounds OK but you'd need to maintain that diet otherwise weight goes back on.

That's true, and we have been continuing the program as it's been easier for us.

We run off the meal plan for the coming week on a Sunday, and it also produces the shopping list. Doing a once a week shop has saved us money, and allows us to plan for the week. Although, I do need to get around to doing the exercises.

I think you need to build up your immune system over time to cope with an ever-changing world !!

Ditto
I was a fan of the dairy cow mash washed down with warm milk straight from the cow. My brother was fan of the pigs but then he got brucellosis.
Environmental bugs are why, when travelling, I like to get some street food into me on the first day to inoculate my gut.

Dad used to do ours

Haha, that reminds me of staying at my uncle's place at Bateau Bay in the 1960's, he used to manually empty the drop box down the bush embankment across the road (I kid you not). Well one morning we awoke to a terrible ruckus and a lot of swearing, he'd lost balance and gone down the embankment with it!

This is a discussion about what cheeses me off NOT a chat about toothbrush hygiene. Grrrrr. Hahaha

I wouldn’t say it cheeses me off, but I do bristle at toothbrush puns.

You can see exactly what I’m doing, it’s super obvious, the only more obvious thing I could do would be to have a big sign on the car saying “Exiting on Parkway Drive”.

I'm coming in very late. Sorry been travelling. But your overthinking this 1000%. You say you're indicating right to show people what you're NOT doing.
that's just wrong.
The indicator is there to indicate what you ARE doing. If you're not turning left there is NO reaosn to indicate right

.... YouTube ads.

Is it just me or does everyone get the same? Ads every 3-4 minutes. Ads when playing new video. Ads at the end of the video. Ads during the ads!

Cannot install Adblock.

Cannot install Adblock.

Never had so many Youtube ads EVER, of course making watching videos almost unwatchable.

Of course thinking of paying the $14.99 per month but can't bring myself to press the subscribe button

We're heavy users of YouTube so stumped up for the premium account, it's great. Apparently cheaper if you sign up directly with YouTube rather than through Apple, if you're an Apple user of course

So, I just checked my YT on my phone.

Hallelujah Corus I could cancel the ad; B787 coughpit tour - no ads; Captain Joe 15 sec ad; exploring Cairo's oldest mosque - no ads; lowering blood pressure - no ads; curling gold medal match , 2 ads 16 secs total. I guess there are ads along the way as well, but that small sample shows me that the ceiling hasn't fallen in - yet. Very doubtful I'd ever pay to use YouTube.

 

[tgh]

I am only a casual user of utube..but opine that the ad frequency has increased and become tiresome...

 

[Forg]

I only used it to watch one web series before the whole COVID thing came along, but for some reason we picked-up on the late-night US comedy shows as entertainment while being stuck at home, and now I even sometimes run videos in the background while working … I haven’t seen ad frequency change in the last 2.75 years, however from what I saw while watching just that one web series it picked-up markedly some time about 4-5 years ago.

The non-skippable half-hour ads for the Palmer United Party were a major low-point … especially in the middle of a 15 minute episode of something. At least you could stop it & then go back in to roughly where you were in the video, probably get another ad but normally not the PUP one again.

I hate ads. They are boring. I don't mind if I can skip ads after 6 seconds but many times they force to sit through 2 x 15+ second adds. And if you use YouTube for 2-3 hours you start to see the same ad over and over.

I've started pressing F5 3-5 times at the beginning of each ad they spam me and I can resume watching video without watching an ad. I know this helps YouTube but I really do not want to see the ad content.

but I really do not want to see the ad content.

Look away; read e-mails etc?
