Apple watch and fall detection
Before we start - yes, latest OS versions. Now aside from "it hasn't been set up", is there a reason as to why once set up & the person falls wearing an apple watch, it DOESN'T alert someone notified?

New laptop - what do I need to be looking for?
My Sony laptop died just before Christmas so I'm needing a replacement. (Sub £400?) But there's such a variety these days I'm overwhelmed, especially with all the numbers/processors names. I'd go into a tech store for advice, but the only one in town is Curry's! (And don't feel I'd trust their advice!) I like the feel of…

A decent label maker/printer ... that labels cables.
I picked up a Nelko P21. Cheap thing off Amazon. It's sort of ok. It's fine for labelling things like plastic tubs for your pasta or whatever & for labelling plugs. I do wonder how long the labels will stay stuck on. Time will tell. But for labelling cables, as in power cables, network cables, USB cables ........ absolute…

Reorganising the Android apps. Is this possible?
Samsung Galaxy S24+ here but assume it's an Android thing not a Samsung thing. Swipe up & see your list of apps - that's what I'm referring to. Is it possible to change the order?

In the first instance it needs to be simple so no mesh networks etc and I'm wondering if simply raising the router by a foot or so is worth a try -…
