    Basic Cyber security course

    Yeah I think she wants to learn a bit more about it anyway, bit more than the average person knows. So I sent her the link dowie recommended, and the open university course so I'll see how she gets on. Interesting point re the bank as well, will look into that. Thanks.

    Basic Cyber security course

    Yeah your right. This is great, thank you - never thought of putting something like this infront of her (considering she's 40!) :D Thanks.

    Basic Cyber security course

    Hi, My missus recently clicked a link in a dodgy text message, then received a call from someone pretending to be her bank, and convinced her to send a decent sum of money to a 'safe' account. In her generally stressed out state (dealing with an early Cancer diagnosis) she followed the...

    Wireless surround sound

    Ah, yeah made sure of that when we did the electrical plan for the house, think we’ve gone a bit overboard but better to have too many than too little.

    Wireless surround sound

    I’ll consider the Q990c for the main lounge when we move. Always fancied Sonos since my mate demo’d his system, so figured would give it a go. Upgrading from a Yamaha RXv4A AV Receiver with 10 year old tannoy 5.1 speakers so I’m sure I’ll be happy with it. I also have a separate office so kinda...

    Wireless surround sound

    I wasn’t but now I am. Plus not fussed about power cables as have installed electrical points in every corner of the room, just didn’t want to feed speaker cables from the TV stand.

    Wireless surround sound

    Just to update the thread, ended up ordering (not delivered yet) Sonos Arc, 2x Era 300s and the Gen 3 Sub, worked out £1849 - spotted on hotukdeals. Really wanted wireless, means I can move my current AV reciever and 5.1 surrounds system to our small cinema room we are planning when we move...

    FortiClient VPN weirdness (MAC OS)

    Yeah I installed it, not work. My MacBook is my personal laptop, have a windows device provided by work but just prefer Mac OS, hence no IT support :D Edit, it was Sophos Malicious Traffic Detection causing google chrome connection issues when VPN enabled - ironic really!

    FortiClient VPN weirdness (MAC OS)

    Managed to resolve it by disabling Sophos Home, think it was Sophos Network Content Filter Under VPN & Filters causing it. Although now need to work out why and get around it.

    FortiClient VPN weirdness (MAC OS)

    I tried Chrome, Edge and Firefox, none connect when connected to VPN, only Safari works. Also slack and other apps work fine, just appears to affect any browser other than safari.

    FortiClient VPN weirdness (MAC OS)

    Well group IT don't technically support Macs although they don't restrict the use of them, so they will be no help. Ive tried toggling Secure DNS to no avail. My work Windows 11 laptop works fine with the same VPN client. My mate is a IT director for a large company who support Macs and Windows...

    Wireless surround sound

    No idea you could do that, although will still remain a challenge as the way the room is setup only the front middle speaker will be near (under) the TV, the front L and R will need to be to the side of the sofa, and with the rears behind so only the middle front speaker than be easily wired up...
