Just saw an email today that google sent to a client, will be turning on Two Factor authentication by default as of Nov 9.  
Will still be able to disable it for now apparently but will be permanent in due course.  Anyone else seen this?  Haven't had one for my account yet. I can imagine that is going to cause a few people some problems accessing accounts...

   

Most of the cameras I buy require repairs, or at least a clean up and lubrication. I work at the end of the dining table - my house is not big enough for me to have a dedicated work space. The work surface and tools are put away when I finish.

The soldering iron is out, because the camera needs the flash shoe wire reattached.

We came across this at the Riccarton Market 20 odd years ago, still hangs on the fence.

I am so impressed! Yesterday I found a golf umbrella on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond, online at a really good discount - and I have been wanting one that would protect me and the scoot in the event of one of Auckland's showers. So, I registered, did the purchasing thing and got my emailed confirmation at 2.19pm. At 2.54pm I got the dispatch notice.
That has to be some kind of miracle efficiency on top of a brilliant price score.

I love it when that happens. Now, I just hope the courier is as good...

Will the day ever come, when someone puts their brain into gear, to stop the public sale of these things.

Why would we keep being allowed to buy the things that terrorises our poor we furbabies, not to mention that they can maim people.
