Iâm afrid I look at this from the point of view of the website owners. They want to ensure that everybody who uses th ewebsite is a real person, thus reducing the risk of bots sccessing the site and scrapingpersonal data from the account holders on the site.
reCAPTCHA is a proven metod of mitigaing the risk and ensuring that the users are human and not bots.
Curiously, when I log in to PIB, I am not asked to complete the Captcha ⊠it just goes straight to âtickâ after entering my password.
The only reason I can think of is that since moving to FTTP, my IP address has not changed, whereas on VDSL2 (FTTC) it did change now and then. Might it be something to do with a connection delivered over copper ? I canât remember whether PIB came up with the picture tiles before fibreâŠ
Maybe another FTTP user might comment âŠ
The UK is committed to moving all bar a tiny minority of connections to full fibre to the premises by 2025. I believe the government sees it as a strategic move to dramatically reducing the cost of communicating with the populace.
[Here there is a monopoly provider of all connections (but not services based upon them) called âOpenreach.â}
For me it varies as per the jurist John Seldenâs jibe that âequity varied with the length of the Chancellorâs foot â which I believe was made in the 15th century about equity in English law.
My town has the fibre, and I think it is just 200 meters from me, but the building firm that made my parents-in-law house was a bunch of crooks, and among other several bungle things, they used very small wire-conduits, also with sharp bents, so I cannot have a fibre at home
Some years ago I had a Wi-Max system with a better ADSL, but one years ago the speed lowered below a copper line due to the company that sold too much bandwidth to make more money, so I came back to copper, and I have to content myself, hoping that rats donât nibble the copper, that is another risk considering that our line runs under the next doorâs garden (another mess by the building crook firm above)
@ClaudioPorcellana Are your cookies activated and enabled for PB site? I use Brave which is very restrictive in terms of security and it never happens to me to be asked and reasked UID and pwd.
Oh, do you use a VPN? This might change the behavior of some sites e.g. Google.
Bummer âŠ
We had a similar problem (the road and houses here were built in 1999), but if one goes on to VOIP, the copper cable is not needed and more. So here they cut that, and used it as a âpull throughâ for the fibre, which avoided them having to dig the road up to change two âTâ junctions.
Do any Italians eat pizza ? I thought it was like âFish and Chipsâ in England; something thought up largely for tourists.
A small team from an office in Hong Kong came to visit the UK office of a company I was involved with. I took them to a local Chinese restaurant; they didnât recognise anything on the menu. Further, the waiter only spoke Mandarin and they spoke Cantonese, so I had to order for them.
In Beijing, street vendors sell scorpions and silk worms on sticks as a snack. I headed to the nearest waste bin to vomit, and them to MacDonalds.
Yes they do, but they may not recognise all the options on the menu as some are invented in other countries (e.g. the Hawiian - ham and pineapple???). Some of the best pizza I have ever eaten were on holiday in Calabria a couple of years ago.
Personally, I like Neapolitan-style pizza the most. Although I have never been to Naples. Sometimes it would be great to make a pizza trip. I myself have learned how to make Neapolitan-style pizza using the internet. I also have a pizza oven that heats up to 500 degrees.
