- Comment on can my image be recorded in British airports by tv camera crews even if I don't consent? 10 months ago:
In about 2014 we flew through an airport where some of these “customs” types shows was being recorded. They had signs up everywhere (I think in multiple languages) saying “episodes of _____ are being recorded here. If you do not wish to be recorded please talk to the crew” (or something like that).
But who knows what they’ve filmed for their cut-away shots, from the far said of the arrivals hall.
I guess you should expect shots of you walking to be ok. But probably have the right to opt out of having your “case” filled.
- Comment on How do bad actors' sites/servers stay afloat when someone has to handle the hosting? 1 year ago:
Yeah, it depends on what you mean.
In many cases malware and phishing is hosted off other compromised sites. They build a list of Wordpress sites with vulnerabilities and host their files onto them. So for example “legitimate-medical-site.net.com” is a real site, so they’ll Chuck malicious files in there somewhere like “legitimate-medical-site. net. com/qwertasdf/invoice.pdf”.
If the site gets blocked or shutdown it’s no loss to them.
Another technique, especially phishing wise, they will have a semi-plausible domain name (e.g. youbank-security-server .con). But they will register heaps of these. There are tonnes of top level domains that do next to no checking again, these things cost a few bucks so having it taken down is not a problem.
The combination of burner sites and domains mean they have a window of opportunity to run their attacks and scams before other protections kick in.
- Comment on what is the best way to drop out a threaded screw? 1 year ago:
We’ve had many of these. We just leaver up the boards and tear them out.
You could plunge cut with a circular saw along the edge. Then work a chisel under it and just tear out the floor boards any way you can.
Then for the screws, I either tear them out with pincer pliers for the shallow ones (you can get decent leverage with pincer pliers). Or just cut them flush with the joists and leave them there (quick work with an angle grinder and cut-off disc).
PS. Sorry been trying to reply to you for a few hours but my client wouldn’t connect.

Just wondering, do you need to save the floor board?
