| daftykins | penguin42: nice scifi clock you have there :D | 15:17 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | yeh! | 15:22 |
| daftykins | just been given access to an RMM today for managing a pal's employee fleet, never used one before | 16:22 |
| daftykins | disappointed to learn that it's tied to my home IP for access, i'm on a dynamic IP here | 16:23 |
| zxmpi | that's gonna fail on a weekend at worst possible time | 16:29 |
| daftykins | :D ikr | 16:34 |
| zxmpi | probably 5minutes after someone says 'everything is hunky dory' | 16:35 |
| daftykins | my very first job after adding a first test laptop... blocking Windows 11 8D | 16:43 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: So someone pointed me to the nhsapp *website* - and you can register on that and do online prescription reorders tehre | 18:43 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: ...in theory - except it doesn't work with our surgery, presumably because it's still screwy like everything else | 18:43 |
| penguin42 | which makes me wonder how people like patientaccess etc are selling the surgeries online prescription systems | 18:44 |
| zxmpi | only works in internet explorer 5 :-P | 18:44 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: No, the NHS stuff is *very* portable | 18:44 |
| daftykins | you can enjoy errors on ALL browsers! | 18:45 |
| daftykins | ;D | 18:45 |
| penguin42 | nod | 18:45 |
| penguin42 | so it's the 2nd time in a couple of weeks I've had to upload a passport and do a video/camera ID check | 18:45 |
| zxmpi | sounds like the irish tax office java app... worked on everything unless it couldn't find a c:\windows\temp folder :-P | 18:45 |
| penguin42 | the previous one was a financial system that only worked on a mobile; this worked on firefox on a laptop | 18:45 |
| penguin42 | haha | 18:45 |
| daftykins | erk | 18:52 |
| daftykins | banking smartphone apps are top on my list of will-not-do | 18:52 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: So, this wasn't actually an app - all the banking was done via a web interface, and they SMS'd you a link, and you just ahd to go to the link (in chrome) | 18:54 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: It then went to a web page to upload a passport photo and watch you on a camera | 18:55 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: But it refused to do that on a laptop with a camera | 18:55 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: The NHS one worked on a laptop with a camera - and had you read out a 4 digit code on video | 18:55 |
| daftykins | lol, hmm do you think it was auto verified? | 18:57 |
| penguin42 | I dont think so | 18:57 |
| daftykins | mmm i'd find that a bit advanced | 18:57 |
| penguin42 | nod | 18:57 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: This was a bank that I already had a savings account with, if it had been an app I'd have closed it | 18:58 |
| daftykins | i heard an odd one today during a twit.tv podcast from the security show, a vehicle rental company wanted the guy to show them his online banking app before the rental would go ahead | 19:00 |
| zxmpi | here | 19:01 |
| daftykins | separately the main story was about this incredibly easily faked digital driving license issue from NSW, Australia | 19:01 |
| zxmpi | here's a screen shot i downloaded earlier :-P | 19:01 |
| * penguin42 waits for his chocolate/orange banana bread to finish baking, I realised I had it on 160 *non*fan | 19:14 | |
| penguin42 | taking a little longer than the recipe said then | 19:14 |
| daftykins | ooh my | 19:15 |
| daftykins | i could do with sampling some true banana bread, i hear it's good stuff... i've had banana bread *beer* however | 19:15 |
| penguin42 | oh wow, I've just received a mail from 'NoReply@YourHealthCareProvider.co.uk' saying I can now access services | 19:17 |
| penguin42 | that dosn't exist, and is actually our Drs | 19:17 |
| penguin42 | nope, NHS system still fails | 19:19 |
| daftykins | ding ding ding, round 'n' | 19:19 |
| penguin42 | oh god, if you google for NoReply@YourHealthCareProvider it's in the instructions from loads of surgerys | 19:21 |
| daftykins | is it just some kinda catch-all fallback choice when it fails to detect yours? | 19:22 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: No, it's when you dont set up this providers system properly, it mails everyone with that, non-registerd domain | 19:26 |
| daftykins | xD | 19:26 |
| penguin42 | oh, I take it back, it is registered | 19:28 |
| penguin42 | the fact that it's registered with mythicbeasts is fun | 19:29 |
| penguin42 | the NHS app has obviously been told something; it now knows the email address I used with the surgery | 19:33 |
