BT now require 2fa code for email - is this permanent ?
2 months ago I was REQUIRED to set up 2fa on my BT account. So, the position then became : 2fa code required to access account. Code NOT required for email . This seemed reasonable - I would be happy with code protection on the account but not on email. Then on 15/5/26 a code was required for email which I do not want. The…

Got an email saying someone has been in touch about an item I'm selling on Gumtree. Open Chrome up on PC (latest version, Windows 10), load up Gumtree but I can't access my profile.

How can I watch live TV on a computer
I have just got a new wide-screen computer monitor and thought about maybe being able to watch TV on a side window, while doing something else. I have tried with YouTube and it works but only in the very small 'normal' YT window on screen. When I click to make this large, the whole monitor is shown, even when I have two…

I've pressed a button somewhere and...
The camera on my tablet is operating like trying to look in a mirror. As in - if I want to move the tablet to focus on an image on my left I have to move it to my right.

How to by-pass MS login PIN
Ok, I expect this to be a non-starter, as we obviously cannot have folk knowing how to get around other folk's login details. But… This involves a deceased's estate, for which a relative has been granted Probate and must now carry out their executor's duties. The deceased left their laptop, which will almost certainly…

AVG Concerns
Hi, my trusty old laptop has been covered by AVG security for a long time now. This may be contentious as articles I am reading indicate that I may not need AVG if I can run Windows Defender.
