Does Google 2FA still have the option to telephone the code through to a phone? If you have a direct-dial number to your desk phone would that not work? Or any service that lets you read your text messages remotely; Pushbullet or anything o

I'd think that if the reseller sold the device as being capable of working with bluetooth v4 and the A2DP profile, only for that not to be the case, then you absolutely have the right to take it up with them. Surely by their not advert

Absolutely agreed, I am struggling to think of many downsides. Maybe some wasps or bees start a nest near a panel meaning it's difficult to clean the panel? Hopefully the nest gets left alone & the efficiency lost is tolerated, to

For Sky TV in the UK, the Sky TV satellite boxes occasionally display the subscriber number in a faint font just above the channel logo in the top-right. If you've simply hooked up the satellite decoder to a video capture device with a

That's excellent - thank you! I use my macbook at my desk quite a lot, and so usually it's plugged in and sat at 100% charge for hours (days?) at a time. So the ability to hold it at around a 40%-70% SOC is really useful
