Personal Data.

taddy · 20-04-2023, 13:23

I have not been on Accy Webb for a couple of weeks because of the obligation to have to accept the new Personal Data Thingy magig that keeps popping up before I can enter the site; What the ???? is that all about ? I have never needed too have to accept that in the years that I have been posting on here before.

I could explain but, you don't do tech'.

Correct Less, the only tech that I can bring to mind is the old Tech-ne-Colour films of Yesteryear,

Taddy I’m not sure what the problem is that you are experiencing. I gave personal data when I joined Accyweb but haven’t had to give it since.

By the way, Less, Taddy was concerned enough to ask a question that deserved an answer and although you might have thought your reply was witty it did come across as slightly condescending and was of no help whatsoever. Did not answer his question. Disappointing. Taddy is too nice a person to tell you that but I’m not.

dotti34 · 22-04-2023, 09:31

Having said the above, I'm sure Taddy would appreciate an answer to his question, as would anyone else who is experiencing the same difficulty.

Taddy let me know in uncertain terms what he thinks of tech and smeared his thoughts all over a thread I started a few months ago. so I don't really consider him nice, more self demanding. (Only my opinion but I am allowed it so don't bother twisting your knickers in his defence it would mean nothing to me).

Taddy showed a lack of appreciation when people willingly and freely tried helping him with his 'quoting' problem, (still ongoing) so once bitten, don't expect me to put my hand forward again let him google for answers.

Less, let me assure you that I do not get my knickers in a twist for anyone, and I am pleased to know that it wouldn’t mean anything to you even if I did. I will say though that Taddy has certainly rocked your boat. Oh, boy!

Without searching back through the threads I cannot comment about Taddy’s posts regarding the computing problems he had at the time, the posts that caused you to now write such scathing comments. I would respectfully suggest though that the way you interpreted his posts might have been different to how he had meant them to be read. It can happen, but not having read them I really don’t know.

Anyway I am not here to champion anyone’s cause, I just thought that the attitude shown to the question Taddy asked on this current thread was dismissive and unhelpful, and that others might have had the same query. That is my opinion, and (like you with yours) I think I am allowed it. Whether you answer the question is your prerogative, and yes there is always Mr Google.

Not everyone understands tech.
This is especially true of the older generations…of which I am one.
I would always try to enlighten someone if I know the answer to something…even if the person I am helping had been,what I considered to be unappreciative of my efforts.
Why might that be then?
Because for everyone who asks the question there are two or three people sat at home pondering whether to ask the same question, but perhaps not wanting to look silly.
And yes, there is always Google, but you still need some skill in finding out the right terminology to ask the question.
If you can’t be kind, then be quiet.

Taddy this message has only bern coming up since Roy changed servers so it is to do with ‘cookies’.
Now these cookies are not those lovely chocolate chip things you can dunk in your tea.
Oh No….they are a different kettle of fish altogether. This what they are.

I get rid of them…I never click on the ‘Accept all’ button…I go in and manage them myself.
And I do not forget the vendors either…legitimate interest or not, they are ditched.

Thank you for the above information Marge, I have printed it out for future use, it seems that I may have caused a slight storm in a teacup with my Luddite ways but never mind eh,

Oh Deary, Deary me, It seems that I have upset someone, possibly (the same someone) that I "supposedly" upset in earlier posts, if this is the case then I can only "sincerely" apologize, my post may have seemed flippant but that was not intentional.

Taddy, if the question occurred to you, then there are others out there who could be in the same boat.
I am happy that I could help out.
There is no sin in not knowing, but it is crazy to find out you have a gap in your knowledge without trying to plug it.

Marge, Although my two ounces of grey matter is 76 year's old, there are not enough plugs being made that can fulfill the gaps in my knowledge of all and sundry, my parents, Huncoat Junior School and Woodnook Secondary School did their best to put me on the right road but it is only life itself that can define how your life will work out.

Thank you to whoever (our) English teacher was at Woodnook, otherwise I would not have been able to compose this post, I cannot remember the name but I think it was Miss ?, I have know doubt that you will be able to remember Her/him.

Margaret Pilkington · 24-04-2023, 18:29

Miss Croston…our form teacher was one of our English teachers.
I have had the same basic education, but I have never stopped learning.
There has never been a better time to learn, nor has there ever been easier access to knowledge.

Who knows what we would have made of ourselves if we had had these options when we were growing up.

I try to learn something new every year…this year it is brain surgery but I am having trouble getting participants to allow me to practice my new found skills
