LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
Such a shame. Thank you @Velocio for all your work over many years.
Can we have a last round of some sort of merch?

You can drive a foreign one about. Registering one in the UK isn't possible with modifications. How far those need to go is a bit of an open question since it hasn't happened yet, it's probably easier for a single vehicle than type approval.
'yiannimize' on YouTube has a series of videos on his Albanian registered import and his attempt to get it through the IVA process. The pointy bits seem to involve rubber strips on edges which I hope will be refused.

2FA systems that send via SMS
You should have stopped there.
My daughter's WhatsApp account was taken over 2 weeks ago. She couldn't receive the SMS messages to recover it until she had rebooted her phone. I can't prove it but it seems like someone had diverted SMSs to her with an SS7 hack. I thought that was hard enough that you had to be high value target but apparently not anymore.
If you haven't already turn on two step verification within WhatsApp (settings, account).

Of course it is social, hence it changing around the world. Apparently in Nigeria the age of consent is 11. I don't think it is okay for a couple of Nigerian kids aged 10 and 11 to not get in trouble with the UK law if they were sleeping together on holiday here. That's separate to what I think is an appropriate age for sex.

I think that is a different issue. The reporting mum is a bit of a dick by my standards but I also have limited sympathy for people that get caught breaking laws that some fairly basic research would have alerted them to.
The mum was wrong to report him but he was also wrong to sleep with a minor in the UAE.

The government should have some sort of travel advice for tourists warning about this kind of thing...
If a person aged 18 or over has a sexual relationship with a person aged 17 or under, they will be prosecuted for having a sexual relationship with a minor.

Perhaps we need a 'are you a moron test' before allowing people to board a flight out of the UK?

Is image search cheating?
The rules are clearly stated at the top of the thread. They are silent on image search and therefore it is allowed. Constant reinterpretation would turn the game into a religion and then we would need to split into different factions and hate each other.

No such thing as no contract...
A&A have short contract options, https://www.aa.net.uk/broadband/home1/ lists the options they have and the minimum terms. You can probably get the same devices elsewhere, so looks like not BT FTTP.
