Very negative facebook adverts with lots of nasty TRT side effects?

hey all

I've had the idea of TRT in my head for a while now, or at the very least getting tested.

46, work two jobs, and have a 4 year old, so life is pretty busy even at the best of times, and I'm sure I could make some lifestyle changes that would help things. Have started that process.

But have been thinking about at the very least getting tested to make sure that low T isn't also a part of why I feel a bit rubbish these days. Even ordered the initial finger prick test from Optimale probably about a year ago now, though never actually got round to doing the test and sending it back. Would probably go with Origin now based on what I've saw over a few nights looking through this subredit.

However the all seeing eye of facebook has obviously noticed and has started giving me lots of adverts for supplements like Mars Men and Zapply T1. While whats in these supplements I'm sure might give me a touch of a boost, they're mostly nonsense in terms of raising T levels?

However the other thing that keeps popping up is sponsored posts like this one below which, to save you having to click on the link if you'd rather not, is a post that claims to be a doctor who's worked in the field for years, but "refuses to keep quiet any longer". How the problem isn't really low T but other issues that TRT will only mask for a while. How the side effects will be really bad, etc etc. and their supplement is the only thing that will help. I've had a bunch of slightly reworded ones, different doctors names, different supplements, but all basically the same.

I'm fairly certain it's all also nonsense, but what are people's thoughts. Have others also had these kinds of things pop up?

Accessing an old, inactive account?

hey all

I'm a teacher at a school in Scotland, and years ago an old member of staff set up a Youtube account for us. The username and password have long ago been lost, and we've been forced to set up a new page recently.

We'd like to get in touch with someone at Youtube to try and access the old one, really just to close it down so there is no confusion between the old and new pages.

But I can't seem to find anyone to get in contact with who might be able to help with this.

Anyone any suggestions?

Contacting Cloudflare to let them know about a website that's using a fake Cloudflare page

Hey guys.

I've just tried to visit a website and found that the website seems to be compromised and someone has added a fake Cloudflare page as the landing page. The usual "verify you're a human" box is there but when you click on it, it says you have to open up PowerShell and paste a command and blah blah blah, trying to get you to download something into your computer and steal credentials and things.

I was going to just send a quick note to Cloudflare and let them know that this had happened. I'm sure they're going to want to investigate it and try and deal with it as best they can but I can't actually seem to find a way to contact them to report this bug or anything like that.

Is there a chat or a standard email or anything that people could suggest? Or will simply posting it here be will be enough to bring it to the attention of someone at Cloudflare who can then pass it on to the right people.

Wispr Flow won't remember my microphone choice.

hey

Loving this product overall but one slight annoyance is that every time I switch my computer on and the app starts up. It never remembers which microphone I've chosen; it always defaults to auto-detect, which it never actually does, and I have to manually go in and select my microphone again.

It's not the end of the world but it is just a bit of a pain to do it every single time I start up the app. Is there any reason why it's not remembering my microphone choice and why I'm having to do this every time? Is there something I can do or a setting I can click that will make it remember?

For reference it's an external microphone running through a USB sound interface into the PC if that makes any difference.

camera suggestions for a primary school photography club

Hey All

I'm a teacher at a primary school in Scotland.

With my other hat on I'm also a professional sound engineer and I have a passing knowledge of the related trades such as lighting design, videography, photography, graphic design, etc.

We sometimes have the issue that when we have school shows or events or different things happening, the teachers involved are busy running the event and dealing with the kids, and can't always get the time to take a step back and take some good pictures of it to put in our website and magazine and things.

So I've been looking at putting a little photography group together in school. Teach a couple of the older kids a little bit about photography so that they can take photographs at these kinds of things.

So if we were going to invest in a camera for this, looking for some suggestions.

Doesn't have to be anything too fancy, dont want to spend thousands only to have a child drop it! Ideally something that has a pretty decent automatic mode as that's what it would be used on most of the time with the kids but with the ability to switch it to manual and start to play and learn a little bit about the different settings and how photography works.

Not too fussed if it's a built-in lens or if it's changeable although ideally it would have to have some kind of zoom on it either way for it to take different kinds of shots, don't want the kids to be constantly changing to different lenses or something will end up getting broken or dropped.

Budget: Give a number in an actual currency. Does this budget cover any lenses/accessories, or do you have a separate budget for those?

Raw mode or log or things would be a nice extra but not essential.

Ideally may be looking to spend around £600-£800.

Country: Scotland

Condition: New

Type of Camera: Any digital

Intended use: hybrid, mostly photography

End use: School website, magazine, social media etc
