Course its illegal and you are funding piracy /revolution / drugs blah blah blah


ISP's really dont care unless they are pushed into a corner


I have recently has the Bris virus from a limewire DL - not too damaging, but a difficult puppy to kill off ( Norton cant remove it BTW ) - theres a lot of shite on LM, not all of it form legitimate users either- there is more than a whisper of corporate meddling apparently



Sort yersel out with a proxy


I have heard that scouring the neighgbourhood for an unsecured network is the way forward, but is theft technically / practically

It's what my friend Andy did to his neighbour when he (err the neighbour) was being an insufferable, antisocial menace. Cut off his broadband in one fell swoop (well, wireless anyway).


And seriously *Bob*, it would only take one hacker to use your network or one pervert to download some child pornography for the rozzers to be at your door, leave alone the more realistic issue that most broadband packages are capped at a surprisingly low rate, and a few episodes of Eastenders on iPlayer later and your neighbour (or you) is whacked with a ?100 surcharge bill.


I don't want to be all boring and everything but theft is theft.

Turning the router off and on again probably wont give you a new IP. The ISP's set fairly long leases on them so yours may only change once every 3 months or so, though I guess it depends on the provider.


I'd definitely go for WPA2 these days as far as security goes...WEP doesn't cut it anymore and can be hacked in no time. All nice having open networks, but you wont be saying that when the fuzz come knocking!

RIGHT


So I tried that.. put a new password in.

Then it wouldn't let me back in with my new password.

So I turned the router off, and (after disconnecting and connecting a few times) I got the internerd back again, but the router had reset itself to no security again. I'm on Mac (can't you tell?!)


Any more thoughts? Help to-date is most appreciated..


Bet you wish you'd never brought it up now, eh?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
