Little things that irk you 2

Is there some sort of massive security hole in Apple's infrastructure? I had very little spam until I signed up for an apple ID using my personal email address (not a free email like hotmail etc) and pretty much immediately and since then I have had "enter your apple ID" spam every other day. (I moaned about this already). New thing: Then I downloaded an online banking app off the iOS store. Next day and daily since, I have had specific spam emails related to my chosen bank. This cannot be coincidence. Massive PITA tbh.

I don't think it's a security loophole, they just sell your details similar to Google...but they are less upfront about it.

Gave me a giggle too.

I had this, I had add blocker and do not track on chrome on my work station, however my delivery company's website got updated and suddenly didn't like playing with those two program's, I turn them off, delivery company works fine again, however I start getting targeted adds pop up everywhere I go. Amazon adverts too based off information it's gleaned from go outdoors website, I effing hate being tracked like this.

Also, if you switch do not track to on the the iPhone, this forum can't keep you loogged in, very annoying.

The left channel keeps going occasionally on my Beyerdynamic DT880. Cabling in the left cup all looks okay so I don't know if it's a grounding issue or just a odd cable issue...

I really don't know but it's annoying.

Good excuse for a re-cable though if that is the case.

Cockroaches, and mosquitoes. Be glad you don't get these in the UK.

Cockroaches aren't scary like spiders are, but they're so annoying. They appear from nowhere, are disgusting, really fast, noisy, get into your rubbish bins, and if you have 1 you probably have about 100. Bought some spray today to kill them - potent stuff, had to air out my apartment after using it.

And as for mosquitoes, well... my arm is covered in bites right now. They get you while you sleep. I must have blood that mosquitoes like, because I was bitten loads when I was in Korea too.

Nah, the "see 1 and there's 100" thing is complete BS. If you live low they just get in where they can. We had that problem when we lived on the ground floor. Do you not have screens on your windows? Those keep the mosquitoes out.

Was watching Dexter last night. After he breaks into someone's flat, we're treated to the sight of a lime-green Razer headset on the coffee table, next to a Razer MMO mouse on a Razer mouse mat, emblazoned with a Razer logo. Said mouse was plugged into a Razer laptop, which had an illuminated Razer logo on the back of the screen and a desktop background that consisted of a Razer logo on fire.

Such blatant product placement just makes me determined to not buy anything from Razer, ever. Not that I'd want to, mind.

I'm using a Razer mouse mate right now. I should burn it right?

[speedlolita]

Only good mouse they make is the Deathadder.

Rather get a Zowie methinks.

Only after you've hammered it into tiny pieces.

Mouse mat! Not mate lol. I use a cyborg rat mouse.

[speedlolita]

Mad Catz now. lol

[Decider-VT]

I love that they call it the "Rat", like a mouse but more "badass".
