If you keep your passkeys in a decent password manager (not the default system manager, I guess), then it should be pretty safe if your device is stolen.

I was booked on the Birmingham one, but felt I'd better cancel on them given the temperatures forecast! In the end it was less hot than I'd feared, so maybe it'd have been OK, although the organiser said there was little shade on the route. Glad y'all enjoyed yours.

Meanwhile, We've also had notice for our other Plusnet service, at home. This will be easier as we'll mostly be around. As we do use the home phone, I'll likely take the EE option.

I should update this. After putting in a complaint, eventually a more reasonable person contacted me. He agreed to delay the changes by a month (which, it appears, can perhaps be extended). He also said that if neither of the two options work for me and I want to leave Plusnet, he/they would...

I think this is a good idea, although I'd expect it to be low traffic. I have signed up for the separate C1 forum, but I suspect I'll never remember to look there when I need it! The bookmark also looks like a good idea, we'll have to see how well it works out. Thanks Graham

I've been scanning a few films recently, and have done several updates, currently on 9.8.55.06, and not noticed any particular problems. I'd encourage you to report the problem; Ed Hamrick is very responsive, and others may be having your problems. ISTR you need to supply a vuescan log generated...

I recently (15 April this year) raised a tech support ticket with C1Pro. Imagine my surprise when on submission, I was prompted to check the (then closed) User forum. I didn't capture the exact wording, but I did follow up and ask them about it. On 21 April, Stefania Michailidou responded to my...

OT, but I did like Coopers when I lived in Adelaide. I really didn't like the Australian lager-type beers. Even found some Coopers in the local Waitrose here for a while. But then, it didn't compare to beer from the local pub!

A lot depends on what you are trying to scan: prints, slides, large format negatives, 120 or 135 film, or odd formats like 110 or 126!

There will be a new set of terms and conditions if we move to EE. Who can tell if they're significantly different? A quick scan suggests they're pretty standard.

That's probably about the right resolution depending on the quality of the print. I did do a comparison of some scanning approaches, starting from a print, in part of the Big Scanner thread here.

I'd be happy to wait out the current contract, but they say that's not possible. So I agree, they are terminating the contract early and there shouldn't be a cancelation charge. I think their argument is that transferring to EE fulfills the contract.

They agreed to supply me with FTTC broadband and home phone for 18 months ending January 2027, so, yes they have changed the terms of the contract!

Sorry, I thought it would come across in the quoted post that started this, but it didn't. Here's the message: As I understand it, moving to EE should be the same price and length of contract. So that doesn't sound too bad financially. The box with new modem etc would presumably be delivered...

Thanks! I think the relevant section is this: "Phone and broadband providers can change the terms of a contract but they must give you at least one month's notice and a right to exit the contract without penalty if the change does not benefit you. However, you won’t have the right to exit the...
