If if is for EU citizens, adults will have an ID card/passport and the child's own country can handle first-time registration. Yes, even if the child is 30 and lived in the UK all their life and thought they were British or slipped through the net because the UK didn't implement registration for EU citizens.
The UK doesn't need to register other countries' citizens if they needed a passport or ID card to get here in the first place. Why make it more costly and slow than it needs to be?
I thought the parliament bought into Office365. If that is still the case which cretin DISABLED the failed login limit which comes by default with the cloudy version of Exchange and Outlook? Can the idiot be named, shamed and publicly take responsibility.
He probably did it to preserve his sanity, with the likes of Rees-Mogg taking 20 tries to get the password right. If he were only allowed three tries he'd send Nanny around.
introduce a Special Administration Regime to ensure the continuing operation of the national smart meter service if the provider becomes insolvent
Doesn't seem to be a resounding vote of confidence in Crapita. Perhaps the government knows something we don't?
Oh, and the source code has leaked.
Pass the popcorn.
Good luck with that. I can imagine that in five years max high end TVs which come with a microphone either in the TV or the remote will trickle down to all models.
And it's difficult to tell before you buy because manufacturers don't make it clear it's got a microphone, they just say it does whatever their fantastic speech recognition thing is called, and that might cover an an app on a mobile paired with the TV too.
People seem happy to go back to when just before Internet shopping took off, but forget that society has changed since then and it has come to meet a need.
Because this is El Reg, of course we're all luddites and proud of it and don't have Facebook, Twitter, a smart home, or a smart TV, and have a Nokia 150 instead of a Death Note 7 yet we could probably survive the next apocalypse with generators and a mesh network, at least going by the comments. However sometimes when something like this goes wrong without any warning it could very well screw up people's day or two or three in a real and measurable way, and not because it's ruined their Netflix session.
Hence the question how far back do you want to go?
It'd be magic if Samsung actually managed to get https working properly for one of their products.
He also found that the programmers failed to use SSL encryption for secure connection when transmitting certain data. They use it on some data transmissions but not others, and usually not on ones that need it most.
"They made a lot of wrong assumptions about where they needed encryption," he says, noting that "it's extra work to move between secure connections and unsecure connections." This indicates that they didn't do it inadvertently but were making conscious decisions not to use SSL in those places, he says.
