STOP THE UK 2025 Copper Landline Upgrade to the Internet by BT

#Nachhaltig

Mein altes #Thinkpad x200s. Ein altes #Arbeitstier. Jahrelang in die #Schule geschleift worden, dort klaglos alles mitgemacht, ob bei verregneten #Sportaktionen oder 40°C in #Hochsommerinformatikräumen, es hat mich nie im Stich gelassen.
Ein wenig träge ist es schon geworden, aber vom Wlan bis zum #BT läuft alles problemlos. Einzige #Investition war zwischendurch ein neuer #Akku.

Jetzt dient es als #Familienrechner, wo man mal eben was schreiben, suchen, drucken oder gucken kann!

Das empfinde ich durchaus als #nachhaltig.

Bleibt senkrecht und gesund!

#bt now increasing the price by about 10% while falsely claiming that it is an increase of 3%. No end to the greed! #pandemic profiteering, price gouging. As if there's a connection between one and the other...

Once again, without any prior warning, during V Day, #bt just silently and remotely modified Home Hubs, then rebooted them at 4AM (15th) and altered people's IP addresses. This is hostility of #proprietarySoftware

Octopuses, Squid, And Lobsters Recognized As Sentient Beings In UK

Lobsters, octopuses, and squid, welcome to the sentient beings club (if you’re in the UK, at least).The UK government has officially included decapod crust

I might move to #openwrt soon because #bt keeps breaking my home network (for months, their remote updates contain severe bugs) and they remotely reboot the router, dropping all connections, without prior warning or consent. Just like that, unannounced completely. They could at least say WHEN in advance.

#bt gave me 3 hours of service downtime, broken home network, lots of work to do. This isn't the first time, as covered in http://techrights.org/2021/04/18/firmware-ruins-whole-day/

Proprietary Software (BT Hub) Has Ruined My Whole Day

While we did have some plans to publish long articles, those plans were curtailed or at least delayed due to the fact our sole device at home not to be controlled by us (a so-called 'Smart' Hub from BT) decided to break itself and by doing so...

For the second time in just a number of months #bt broke my home network with its remote update, which it doesn't even inform people about (the changes and the downtime). Last time I escalated it to them they did not fix the bugs they had introduced until months later.

Without asking me, without informing me, my ISP #bt just decided to change the software on my router yesterday (Home Hub) and then restart the whole thing 3 hours ago, changing the IP address and everything, causing service disruption again. For hours. #proprietarySoftware

Oh, dear. #bt converting text into landline robo-reader is now becoming a source of spam calls. Basically, you receive a call that's just some 'robocaller' in the form of SMS-to-landline. NOT GOOD.

British Telecoms Are Aligning with Emerging U.S. Position on Open RAN Adoption

Open RAN adoption is said to save telecoms money and boost security, as providers are forced to move off Huawei.

Once again, without any warning or notification, #bt decided to remotely change 'my' router and reboot it at 4AM, changing my IP address and leaving services down until I woke up. #proprietarySoftware is hostile junk. They also did this 6 months ago and will do it in the future. You can't opt out or be notified. http://techrights.org/2021/04/18/firmware-ruins-whole-day/

#BT is still sucking up to a criminal company, #microsoft , as it Microsoft has anything to offer BT. No wonder BT became so bad and arrogant. http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2021/07/22/canceling-bt/
