Lloyds data breach 18th August 2026
Lloyds data issues ... 18th August 2026?
After much calling and blaming the client user, it was admitted they had 'an issue'.

INTEL Ram v MCLASS Ram
Without going too deeply into use case…
If I have a…
2020 Intel iMac i7/i9 16Core 27” 64Gb Ram 16Gb Display card
… how much Ram should I get for a …
2026 M4/M5 MacBook Pro 16” 18 Core
2026 M4 MacMini* Pro 14 Core
2026 M4 Mac Studio Max 16 Core
64Gb ?
More ?
Less ?
*I know the max here is 48Gb
Isolate and Edit
One thing I find my self doing a lot, when in a complex model, is I copy and paste the objects I'm having an issue with so I can work on it clearly both visually and in the object manager ... far away from the massive projects noises ...
Is there some workflow of quick-keys action for this?, like selected Objects into a new window.
I'd also like that new window to be floatable :-O :-)
VPN logs for system VPN L2TP
I cannot see anything, any report, log, or status for a VPN setting or connection status issue in any logs...
Either on Console App or loooking in log files at /var/logs/
Just using inbuilt macOS Network -> VPN setups for L2TP over IPsec, which works fine for a lot of VPNs that work, but one is acting up.
TBH this is to a Synology NAS, but I have other NAS' setup with the same hardware, config, settings and work fine.
So, viewing logs would be great :-) but as I say cannot find them...
Thanks for you ideas!
macOS Tahoe 26.5.2
MacBook M1 Pro 2021
Feel like Im going a bit mad :-O :-(
Brain Fog on how I make this
[FIXED]
Can someone remind me where I might have set this pop-up survey up to appear on my home page?
Maybe remind me which plug-in please.
I dont think it is MonsterInsights as I don't register that (and give free creditcard acess!).
Thanks,

UK glitch
Was that an iCloud glitch today that froze Macs?
About 9:28 BST.
AutoPkgr macOS Sequoia - trust issues still
I really don't do this often and so I forget the solutions :-(
Failures occurred while running AutoPkg on MacOS CLOUD Server
Could someone please read the log below and advise?
Do I just need to rebuild or recreate the Recipe Override?
I did try 'Update Trust Info for Override' but that had no positive fix outcome whe I rern the updates.
Thanks.

FDM fine details Bottle Base
I am trying to get the best detail on this bottle ... but the shallow bottom is causing me suport issues ... some notes:
Bambu PC1 or X1C
PLA Sunlu [grey]
0.2 layers with adaptive support supplied as 0.08
Printed vertically
Tree supports
As I want the outside finish to remain super smooth I am not wanting really to angle the bottle.
So, please, any tricks or advice from you Product Bottle prototypes printer people :-)
Thanks.
Post to Mail LIst
I am setting up my wife's social group.
There are about 80 members.
I really want super simple email list sending capabilities.
I'd like a WordPress Post (HTML Format Designed with Images, typography, etc .. made with Classic tools not Blocks)) to be sent by email to these few members, regularly (manually).
I don't want to use a system like Mail Chimp, my end users are not into tech complexity (age).
Can you please suggest a plugin you have used successfully for a long time :-)
Many thanks!
Not Syncing Updating again
I am finding that OneDrive will only be up-to-date if I force it to with right-click 'Always keep on this device'.
And, yes;
I have updated, reset , reinstalled, done all the Microsoft advice ... it doesn't last.
Checked macOS Privacy & Security
Tried it on other Macs, both local, wan and remote.
Screenshot for visual evidence, blue boxes before, red boxes after.
No one has edited the files whilst I did this test, and even if they had (without telling me) the date modified should not have changed?
I was altered to this issue as I also backup these folders to tape, and that backup report said no files changed 😞
macOSX Sequoia, Tahoe latest versions.
Mac Intel or M1 or M4
For *** sake MS, again ??!! 😞
Unique Product QR Code Ordering
Is there a plug-in that provides a QR Code for ordering the exact product (your choice of colour, size, etc) and then shows a QR code that includes details for the total cost and payment details (bank, paypal, stripe)?
Thanks 😄
P.S. Yes, I want the World! HaHa
Not Cloning more Step’n’Repeat
Is there a way to take 5 (or more/less) splines, and rotate them around their same origin point, say from 0 to 70 degrees.
Imagine a Rolodex but every card is a different spline outline shape.
Thanks.
Adding or editing Admins on some Pages inaccessible or missing on a few Pages.
Is there something up with FB at the moment?
I cannot find any place to change or add Admins to Pages :-(
It’s not just my Pages, I’ve been to some clients and they have the same issue.
It’s not all our/their Pages, just the odd one or two.
Thanks.
SplinePatch v3.04.0 for Cinema 4D
I cannot find this plugin to purchase…
I think its ability to do spline patches is how I’d like to model some ship hull (like) objects.
Or is there an alternative?
Or do later versions (than my R21) have these kind of spine tools already included now? (examples please).
Thanks :-)
Cache HD eater
Adobe Illustrator latest v30.4
MacOS Sequoia, Tahoe
M or INTEL w 64Gb+
Anyone else seeing Adobe Illustrator using way too much cache and eating Gb of HD (like 200-350Gb+) and not cleaning itself without a reboot? or preferences reset or manual cache cleaning.
Thanks
