[15:17] <daftykins> penguin42: nice scifi clock you have there :D
[15:22] <penguin42> yeh!
[16:22] <daftykins> just been given access to an RMM today for managing a pal's employee fleet, never used one before
[16:23] <daftykins> disappointed to learn that it's tied to my home IP for access, i'm on a dynamic IP here
[16:29] <zxmpi> that's gonna fail on a weekend at worst possible time
[16:34] <daftykins> :D ikr
[16:35] <zxmpi> probably 5minutes after someone says 'everything is hunky dory'
[16:43] <daftykins> my very first job after adding a first test laptop... blocking Windows 11 8D
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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
[18:52] <daftykins> erk
[18:52] <daftykins> banking smartphone apps are top on my list of will-not-do
[18:54] <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)
[18:55] <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
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:14]  * 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
[19:15] <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
[19:17] <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
[19:19] <penguin42> nope, NHS system still fails
[19:19] <daftykins> ding ding ding, round 'n'
[19:21] <penguin42> oh god, if you google for NoReply@YourHealthCareProvider it's in the instructions from loads of surgerys
[19:22] <daftykins> is it just some kinda catch-all fallback choice when it fails to detect yours?
[19:26] <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
[19:28] <penguin42> oh, I take it back, it is registered
[19:29] <penguin42> the fact that it's registered with mythicbeasts is fun
[19:33] <penguin42> the NHS app has obviously been told something; it now knows the email address I used with the surgery
