  This is my experience with the 411 rims too. Couldn't get the back to seat until I added even more tape. After that it was fine!

  That's fine it's the serial number they will be after. I think the process is that you send the support team an email and then they call you back in a few days

  Under warranty with Garmin, or bought 2nd hand? Garmin pretty good at a straight exchange in my experience

  Yeah they haven't covered themselves in glory. That said, the kit that arrived is actually really nice, well fitted and good value (at sales prices)

  Anyone with a compact chainset they'd like to move on?

• Privatising / privatisation of public spaces

  So an entity with a legitimate need to process data (validated by the GDPR regulator), which notifies and receives consent from individuals that the data can be collected, is complying with GDPR. If not, then it is not, and is liable for prosecution (both as a corporate but also to individual officers/stakeholders)

  Having facial ID in the hands of landlords and developers with no oversight over what lists they use and how individuals are added and removed

  That's what the GDPR regulations and regulators are for

  All quite a likely scenario

  I think your definition of likely is debatable

  Sure we should be worried about what information we willingly hand over to large data collectors like google and Tesco but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t worry about this

  I don't disagree, albeit non-consented FRT data is protected under the GDPR regulations with the in-built feedback mechanisms, whereas data you've handed over to other "big data" agencies is largely theirs to use as they see fit

  I'd be more worried about the info Google hold on you from your search history, and Tesco/Amazon (et al) from your purchases
