I'm placing my bet that their customer data was all stored on a central AWS instance, and someone c*cked up the security/IAM permissions on it.

I’m also in tech and agree it’s unacceptable. This level of delay sounds like they’ve been ransomwared and they don’t have good backups to restore from (or the backups weren’t sufficiently isolated and also got locked).

Yep it’s real - the dog “handlers” (debatable) were fostering the pups for a Mal charity, both pups had a bite history, and the fosterers were aware that they both reacted badly to the sound of wheels on wet surfaces. All freely available info via their Facebook pages! One of the dogs was...

A lot of cars have drain holes around the sunroof and these can get blocked, if you google the make and model you may find some advice about getting it unblocked :)

My current much loved 1993 Passat and 1986 LR 90 both make use of this solution, I’m still living in the old days 😂.

Your other option is to take the carpet out of the footwells and drill some strategic small drain holes 🙊

"I like money, people will pay money for these dogs because they're a pretty colour" My initial assumption was money laundering but those are too cheap for that, so it's just garden-variety standard-issue stupid!

I dont think these owners are exactly the type to pick up anything left by their dogs! Or to think very deeply…

A friend was cycling to work on a very busy and well-known cycle path yesterday morning when he got chased and bitten by a dog - luckily he had thick jeans and boots on and the boots took the brunt of it. The dog was off-lead (naturally), circled behind him to get onto a bank so it could...

I'd argue that there's societal need in identifying and dealing with irresponsible dog ownership. Whether that's owners who allow their dogs to roam (like the ones TP has posted about), owners who can't or won't control their dogs, or those who abandon dogs for whatever reason. Of course we...

You could extend this argument to many things that people don't use but that their general taxation funds: - I don't have children, why should my general tax take pay for schools/teachers/subsidised nursery hours/child benefit/ad infinitum? All children have people with legal responsibility for...

It was posted on FB, owners comments were that her son was stood by the sofa with his back to the dog (which was on the sofa) and it just pounced on him. Reading between the lines, I think the dog and the mum were sat together on the sofa, dog thought it would be turfed off so the kid could sit...

I'd be sending them a link to this and telling them they'd better double check their public liability insurance! https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/dog-owner-sued-5m-after-23957804
