Virgin Media Data Breach
I heard there is a case going on about the Virgin Media data breach and I’m wondering how the compensation works. Is this related to their WiFi services, like plans or subscriptions? Does it only apply to the account holder, or can anyone in the household make a claim even if they’re not the named account holder? Also, do you need to email Virgin Media directly to take part, or is there another process? ThanksProblems with forum
I have had problems accessing the forum over the last two days; I find myself now able to access posts. My ID stated that I "didn't exist", nor could I access anything on the forum. I went surfing the forum in circles, Under the settings section there are 12 different IP addresses (some internal beginning with 10, others with 81, 82 and one 193). This leads me to think (ask) of the following: has the forum been hacked? is there a data breach? have I done something wrong or posted stuff that is objectionable? (as mentioned elsewhere) a bug with CloudFlare (as I get the occasional 502 bad gateway error)? is it bugs or errors in the forum software? is it a Windows problem? am I being stupid? all/none of the above. If it were bugs or errors in the software, I presume they have now been fixed as I can now make posts again. Any comments, help etc are welcome. Cheers.Hub 5 update no longer able to get to 192.168.100.1 by HTTP any more

Hi I'm not a Virgin customer, but have found a virgin cable in my garden, buried 2 inches below the surface. (2 inches, would have thought this was illegal H&S etc🤔) I’m redesigning my garden and need to remove the cable. just checking there isn’t any power going through it before I cut it. Thanks Fred.Problems connecting to Virgin 360 TV Box via Andriod app

So much talk about Windows 11, I thought I'd give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. It took just over an hour to make the changes. I had to download an updated bios for my motherboard, which made the necessary adjustments without having to go into the bios sections and manually adjust items, and you have to do that first or the bios won't pass the inspection and the Windows 11 won't install. So I got it up and running. Now checking it out, after clicking on the Windows Icon in the taskbar Installed software wasn't showing anymore and no tiles on the desktop, luckily I had made shortcuts for the most used software in Windows 10, so they were showing on the desktop and taskbar after the installation. I found it difficult to navigate around after being used to Windows 10, and a lot of the useful menu items were missing on right-click on an icon. The transparency effects no longer worked either. I missed the weather and speedtest on tiles and the current temperature and state of weather on the taskbar. I played around with Windows 11 for a few hours before deciding to switch back to Windows 10 😃 The only good thing that I found about it was that it seemed quicker when using Windows explorer. So if you've tried it or are using it, what are your views on it?
