A while back I heard that the concept of a 'god' or 'higher being' only came about because mankind hasn't been able to grasp the fact that we are here on our own, and yes a sizeable chunk of all conflicts are religion based...so if there is a 'God' what's it up to because the current mode of operation isn't working too well.

Fujitsu were the Systems Integrator - it wouldn't be unreasonable to suspect that a reporting function wasn't part of the functional specification so it was never written?

Having worked in the private sector for my entire working life (now retired), I reflect one was always wary of dealing with the public entities, be they local authorities, government bodies, HMRC or Defence. In the private sector we made business decisions, difficult though they often were. In the Public domain (i.e. the Post office) it seemed to be accepted that whilst the rewards (basic pay) were lower than employees could have collected had they switched into the private sector the trade off was rock-solid final salary pensions with often low retirement age thresholds - maybe 10 years earlier than the rest of us. This bred a culture (in the Public sector) of being exceedingly risk averse, where avoiding be accountable or not making any kind of personally attributable decision that might threaten one's ability to collect that pension was the norm. Mediocrity was an art form. This is why the Public sector are so keen on using Systems Integrators like Fujitsu - the official can say "we don't know so we have bought in experts to guide us", it absolves the decision maker who can hide behind the excuse of appointing and expert to guide on the use of public money at exorbitant cost, per man, per day - talking 4 figure numbers here. We are seeing this with the Post Office scandal - no one is standing up and owning the problems, either for appointing Fujitsu in the 1st place or actively managing the contract - when it went bad the Post Office knew, but no one wanted to own the hot potato of accountability - and still don't. Every day in post is one day nearer to that pension and retirement.

I have a Vodafone sim only contract with 'Entertainment' built in, one of the options is 'YouTube Premium' (so no adverts) for 24 months. YouTube Premium on its own is £12/month. The cheapest SIM only contract from Voda at this time is £26/month. One logs into YouTube with whatever Email address that's associated with the Voda' account so not limited to use on a mobile device.

As Computer Weekly revealed - the ability to edit horizon system data existed and was used, unaudited. Declared in High Court in 2019: Fujitsu staff had ‘unrestricted and unauditable’ remote access to Post Office branch systems

Understood Vic. Google changes stuff all the time, you'll need to do it this way now: If you want to write an email in Gmail - select Compose, in the 'To' box type the 1st letter of the contact name and that automatically loads the contact list...

Yeah, in the Post Office vs Bates film it was revealed that Fujitsu were editing the data tables - criminal fraud.

Well it can't be Windows 11 at fault because Gmail is running inside a web browser - so the underlying OS (Win 11) is not exposed. If you want to write an email in Gmail - select Compose, in the 'To' box type the 1st letter of the contact name and that automatically loads the contact list... Does that help? Rs John

Fujitsu....Systems Integrator...very protective over the contract because its a gravy train of revenue. They'd of known that the s/w is ****, the techies would have escalated their concerns for sure and nothing would have happened for fear of derailing the train. If the police investigate then it will all come out..

You make a very good point - whatever the FSB are watching, it wasn't ISIS cells - more likely those individuals who might have posed a threat to Putin's chance of being re-elected....
