Using the ip address, can we figure out the mobile number that used the app to place the order?

Not legally, I don’t think.

I think the only people who can link the IP address to a phone number are the ISP being used at the time. So the user’s phone network, or Cineworld’s ISP if the user was on their Wi-Fi at the time. Usually it would take a court order to make an ISP or network provider hand over the details.

You can find out your own mobile’s IP address quite easily though, so maybe a workaround would be to get all staff to (voluntarily) do that in an interview or meeting and check whose matches the IP address you have?

I’m no expert, others here might know more about less kosher ways to find out what you need.

Above paragraph is correct. IP Addresses are expensive, so residential customers share a whole bunch that get rotated around. So IP address is very likely a nogo. Because you'd get the current IP address not the one they had at the time except you'd not get it

However I've now read the original query, and the food provider would (might) have logged details relating to that order source. If they do this themselves then they will have it but no-one will want to get it for you, if the storefront is managed by a larger party then they won't have this personal and identifiable information. They will get aggregated data from the service provider along with all the other clients that use them

Sorry but it seems likely that you'll not find out, not legally, without a warrant, so not ilegally I think I mean, damn I confuse myself sometimes

Somehow I've fucked my shoulder, hurts to lift my arm over my head or reach forward. No idea how I could have done it. Is it better I exercise it or rest it?

This is probably a bit late by now, but just in case...  You can stay active, and keep going with gentle movements - but avoid strenuous exercise or anything that actively triggers the pain (obviously). Consider your posture when sitting down - try not to slump, keep your back and shoulders straight and rest your arm on a cushion if needs be. It’s worth taking painkillers, just to help maintain some movement. Keeping your shoulder completely still is actively unhelpful in most cases. If it’s dragging on, then ideally see a physio as targeted exercises are often very helpful.

Obviously if the pain’s severe or stopping you from moving - or if you have pins and needles or numbness, then see a doctor.

That said, hopefully it’s already better by now...

Did a shift at a local pub today that has a lot of students in. Tons of them used those Monzo cards. Are they any cop?

Some new fangled bank with an app? Not sure myself.

Free lattes and avocados amirite hehehehe

They’re a startup attempting to use tech to improve banking. They used to only do credit cards, but I think they’re now branching out into full accounts.

I think that the major draws have been a much more advanced online and app setup than most banks manage (which isn’t tough as most banks’ apps are shite), plus some funky things where they break down your spending for you at the end of each month, you can even set limits on certain types of spending without blocking others, IIRC.

They’re pretty popular in tech circles. I’ve been avoiding them as I’m happy to live in denial around how much I spend on beer each month.

It was invite only but I think anyone can now, I just too kthe invire downloaded the app, scanned my driving license, and immediately a virtual card was attahced to Google Pay and two days later a neon ornage physical card arrived through post. Can't fault then really, the app also has stuff like Yolt where I can categorise my spending and see at the end of the month how much went on booze, transport, meals, groceries, clothes etc, which it picks up from the vebdor when yu ouse the card but you can edit as well. Can also run direct debits and paypla off it if when I choose so if some DDs are luxuries rather than essentials I run them from there so they come out of spending budget not total budget

But will we all be able to ppi them in the coming years?

The perk that struck me was the foreign spending one. I’d consider getting one just to save the details on my Russian eShop account.

Monzo is great. I have the prepay card but will maybe switch to the full bank account in time.

Features are great, instantly freeze your card if it gets lost/stolen, you can now set up savings pots for things and have it put your virtual change into a pot after buying stuff. It's super easy to send money to other users and it has a pretty good split the bill took and now in some shops it saves the itemized list of what you bought, not just the amount spent. Also it categorises expenditure Y different categories so can see where your total money is going each month for example.

11/10 best online bank, pls don't fuck urselves over with too many shareholder cunts and that if you get popular tho. Thx.

Hi Andy. Off topic, but I read somewhere that you were considering taking a forum break? Just wanted to say I’d miss your posts, so purely for selfish reasons please don’t. Edit: Not that one so much.

Cheers. I really like the place, but think it’s sometimes better to not be here, for my own sake and the forum’s. Might just try sticking to certain threads.

Harder said than done, but if something annoys you on here, before replying consider if there's any point. Is it more likely that you will get an unwelcome response or a positive one, and is the subject of such importance to you that you're willing to let it rile you up further?

I've been working on trying to just let things slide that might blow up if I engage with them, unless I think it really needs calling out

One of the best things IMO is to get proficient in also using a mouse with the left hand, feels weird at first but you it's surprising how quickly you get used to it. Obviously a left handed or ambidextrous mouse is a good idea for this, as is a nice massive deskmat mousepad to sit the keyboard and both mice on either side IMO. I can probably recommend stuff if needed.

Other than trying to maximise keyboard shortcuts is a good idea, if you are able to offload commands assigned to mouse clicks to a keyboard key that can help. For example I recently added a shortcut in Reaper to start playing from the position of the mouse cursor, saving me having to middle click all over the place. Btw I've found that most middle buttons on mice are waay too stiff, the Sensei 310 (ambidextrous, for large hands) I have has a nice light middle click.

I've also got a Wacom tablet that I will swap in occasionally for a nice change, the touch and pen controls work well enough most of the time. And I'm planning on setting up custom voice controls and commands to move more interaction away from the desk.
