Hearing rumours (eg, in El Reg*) that the US are considering banning laptops in cabins in flights from Europe. That could disrupt a lot of business (and if it includes a Kindle, will annoy me know end). Admittedly, I tend to quietly seethe when my boarding or alighting is delayed due to people putting huge suitcases on the luggage, but then I enjoy watching the stuff go round on the conveyor belt at the other end. *don't tend to read it as much now as in the past. Seems to have lost its edge. |

| Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 48 |
Yay to paying more tax on the value of the car if you took it in your own name and a payrise to fund the lease. I've seen clients who have actually paid more tax on a company car than the cost of the car when the company initially bought it. That's absolute batshittery, and then they do it again because 'I want a company car'. I guess that you can't really get out of it with JLR though, as their real cost of providing it to you is so much lower than giving you the cash. |

The infection may have started on desktops, but if they have access to file shares it will encrypt the contents. Some sites are saying that there have been phone system outages, so it's definitely spread wider than just client machines, and it's entirely possible for backups to be corrupted as well. |
