    Shared Virtual SIM for SMS and 2FA ?

    This is a thing - it's a product we sell. We have customers who look after children in care and need to have staff access the SMS of children in their care who quite probably don't have the ability to use a mobile. Rather than have a rack with 10 mobile phones in, that they'd have to keep...

    Any guidance would be most helpful

    It would just tell the guilty party that they've caused the sort of anguish that they'd hoped for. TBH it doesn't sound like the sort of site that would care whether the profile is genuine or not. If they did, the site would have ownership and contact details clearly available.

    Any guidance would be most helpful

    The police should have been the first call and they'll have the perp down the station very quickly. Even if you knew who owned the site, I can only think they'd advise you contact the account holder. You can't have randomers calling up and getting access to pull content down.

    takeaway online pos with printer setup

    We do this with woocommerce and a bit of code to post a form submission on receipt of order ( when an order changes to status:processing ) into a CGI in the office. This then crafts a postscript file and pipes that to lpr for spooling to the printer and populates our order processing system. We...

    Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

    Without seeing the headers - impossible to say - even with, probably no different! Two top guesses: ipv6 - we are seeing lots of these where spf doesn't have ipv6 addresses. Check DNS and make sure you have v6 addresses for everything as well as v4. Different systems are adopting ipv6 at...

    ti not appearing when copying from pdf

    No - It's your accounts software producing a nicely minified postscript. If you include abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz in your invoice notes somewhere then the software will have to describe all the letters and the problem will go away I think.

    ti not appearing when copying from pdf

    When you craft postscript ( which PDF is inside a wrapper ) you have to define all the characters used and how to draw them. The postscript in that document will be missing the instructions to draw that character nicely! It's just a space saving thing to cut down the size of the PDF but it's...

    Do I need a CDN for a static brochure site with UK only visitors?

    It depends on whether your server and bandwidth can cope. If it can, then IMHO a CDN won't help much as they're mostly all geared up for worldwide traffic. We use keyCDN and they protect us when we spam half a million emails out and would otherwise DDOS ourselves from all the requests. You...

    Is this a scam?

    These guys do sound very convincing and make so many calls that they have a *huge* stock of answers for every possible answer they get. Definitely a scam. It's a shame the authorities don't take these things seriously.

    Have Royal Mail dropped the free 6 x4 thermal labels?

    I've heard stories down the pub of people who have managed to get Business services from Royal Mail. It never works for me - website just takes me in a loop of redirects and returns me back where I came from.
