Lockdown living tips

Right. My 15 yr old sons head looks like a mushroom he's got that much hair. He's trusting me to cut him a no 4 with a fade. Hope he speaks to me afterwards. Anyone had any success in this area? I'm going to follow this guys advice and I'll blame him if i fuck it up

Fuck that, just give him a No.1 all over, it’ll get him ready for going bald ;-)

We put this on our TV last night, then set up a Zoom with our son and his wife, who we've not seen for weeks. We then played internet based games for the evening. It was great fun, and felt as though we properly connecting again.

I thought Zoom had security issues and schools etc were banning it?

It might do, but what harm can be done from a family video conference?

Anyway, it's the website that might relieve a bit of boredom, coupled with any secure conferencing app.

Firesticks are currently on sale ladies and gents. Get a good vod/plex supplier ;-) and that will keep you entertained for a good while.

Quick question. I have an old firestick with a VOD subscription through a really good supplier. I have a 4k tv and they have loads of 4k movies on there. When i play them i just get sound. My question is, do i need a 4k firestick to be able to play 4k movies through a VOD supplier?

That is my point though.
Is Zoom secure?
I’ll do some research as I’d like to use playjack tv but I would look for a different platform for the family link up such as Skype etc.

Apart from all your data being given to Facebook and your camera and mic being hacked there’s...

I take your point, and it's good advice, but I was wanting to recommend the website https://jackbox.tv/ and ANY SECURE VIDEO CONFERENCING APP BUT NOT ZOOM as a fun way of interacting with isolated loved ones, and relieving some of the monotony and boredom.

If using Zoom results in Facebook targeting me with some ads, I'm not that fussed. I rarely use it anyway. And I don't keep any sensitive or compromising data on my phones or computer. I don't feel at risk.
 
I'm not going to post anything revolutionary or life changing. Had a quiz via video call with my immediate family last weekend, it was great. Same planned for this Saturday - it might be very basic but it's something to look forward to and I can now also use it as an acceptable time to have a handful of beers, rather than getting arseholed on random nights of the week. I made a completely fake Facebook to do it and I only have my relatives as friends on the account. Great!

I have also discovered that my own cooking is far nicer than anything the work canteen can offer and I will only be taking my own food for lunch when we do eventually return to office.
