Working from home day!
Feeling a bit sick today, thanks all of you for the get well soon messages. Today is the day to sit down and really enjoy some uninterrupted working time! Wish I could work here every day, it really is more productive. Mechanical keyboard increases workrate by at least 30%!
Couple of games of CS might have been played in break though 😛 😛

Two years ago, I would hear: “I don’t trust contactless, I don’t want someone able to just take my wallet and go nuts.”
We never hear that now, and why? Because contactless is fuckin awesome and if you don’t use it you are a mong. Plus it has a perfect cap for a round of beers.
In today’s special, we are talking contactless, Android/Apple Pay, and of course, security. Contactless is currently the most secure way to pay for goods at a till. Cash can be stolen, cards skimmed, contactless…can’t if you do it right.
Tip 1: Use Android or Apple pay.
Fingerprint auth. Virtual card numbers. Sex. When you pay with one of these apps, a one-time virtual credit card number is created for you, every transaction. This way, the retailer never knows what your real card number is – and can’t buy anything even with the full card details. Also, if you lose your wallet, your card can be used. If you lose your phone, your card (should be) protected by your fingerprint/PIN. Gets me hard thinking of it.
Tip 2: Check your receipts (London)
If for some sick reason you have to use your real card, make sure to check the receipt they offer you (especially in bars). Many bars will give you the Merchant receipt back, which has your full card details printed on there, complete with expiry date. In a bar, reprobates are known to pick these up and sell them.
Tip 3: Wrap Up
If you can’t make payments through your wallet, then you are probably safe. A popular new scam on public transport in London is on the rise, whereby a reprobate carries a small contactless terminal on their person, and press it against your wallet in your pocket, hoping for a payment. Special cases/thick wallets/awareness are the best combat for this.
Hope you enjoyed the tip of the day, let us know in the comments your favourite contactless tricks!

Is it?
Hi all, back again with another security tip of the day (can’t really be bothered making too many more of these, so enjoy while it lasts)
AntiVirus. Everyone gets pissed off by it, but everyone needs it.
OR DO THEY?
Personally, I don’t run any extra antivirus applications on my devices other than out of the box. User knowledge and common sense is far greater than anything an AntiVirus can give you. This is because by its very nature, viruses are ahead of AntiVirus, all the time.
With Windows, the best thing you can do is get to Windows 10, always do Windows updates, and turn on Windows defender. It’s actually pretty good. Don’t download stupid shit from the internet. Use a separate admin user and logged-in user. It’s that easy.
Never pay for antivirus. Defender is just as good if you aren’t retarded.
Apps like Norton actually feel like a virus; they slow down your computer, and have been known to ADD vulnerabilities, so why use them? Maybe you have to for work. If you must, a good lightweight option is bitdefender free:

IOS/Android:
Never get antivirus, ever. Your phone is much better than anything you can download. All apps run in a sandbox, so the app can’t even access anything else on the phone. It will slow it down and do nothing.
MAC:
Sell that POS and get off the blog.
Friday 5pm – that’s about it for today, beer time!!

Fill: Look how long that line for KFC is…those guys better not get -FUCK what are they doing don’t they have work to do?? Oh right, they just work on that stupid blog…
Richie, those guys made their choice, we are leaving without them.
B-b-b-but Fill, its rude, we should at least-
NO BUTS, either you come with me now or you are FIRED
*Richies silent prayer* Oh please ftb and jase, forgive me…
KFC in England is a bit like that girl at a festival…you spent a lot of money, it’s fatty, and you kind of regret it after. Todays meal was 2 pieces of chicken, 4 wings, 2 tenderloins and chips. I think I got about 50g of actual chicken on it. Stick to PFC lads!

Every Thursday we head down to the market for a market, which is a good 15 minute walk from the office (lunch break is 30 mins)
They have epic kebabs for £4.50 that are almost too big to eat. Plus we get to see all of our mates down there. From left to right in the photo there is:
Today ‘All salads yes’ looked really down in the dumps, our thoughts are with him and his troubles he must be having. Surely he can’t be sick of his job. To every cloud there is a silver lining however, because of his sadness, he actually wrapped the kebab properly!
Cheers to the team at the market for their epic hospitality.

The blog was out this afternoon, we suffered a DDOS attack which even Amazon couldn’t front! I hope you all managed without security tips for a few hours.
We are working hard to get Andybot up and running in rocket, so you don’t need to talk to him ever again. Phrases include:
Plenty of feedback coming in about the chat server – keep it coming in HOT and lets Make The Internet Great Again!
