DIP switch
I bought a module from Amazon. There are no instructions for DIP settings. The programmable delays are 1 / 3 / 5 /10 / 15 / 25 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 90 / 120 /180 / 300 / 480 seconds. Is there a convention for moving the settings from low to high? I wonder whether 30 minutes could be 0111. It is a matter of trial and error…

Virtual memory in Windows 11
I have 16Gb RAM - So would assume that (traditionally) the VM should be set at 1.5 times this - ie) 24Gb - why is it set at just 1024Mb - ie) 1.024Gb - by MS (I rebuilt my laptop a few months ago and have not altered any VM settings)

Mifi routers with an external aerial socket
My Huawei E5577C mobile router's battery is dying and it seems difficult to get a replacement other than from 3rd party suppliers with poor reviews (both the suppliers and their batteries).

Retrieving Music from old iPod onto, say, USB / Laptop

I regularly set notifications on events, to generate an email to me 1 week, 2 days etc. before the event. This stopped working recently - perhaps…

Thoughts on replacing iPhone 11pro battery
I have an iPhone 11 pro that I bought second hand 3 years ago. I'm still happy with it except that this winter the battery life has dropped off a cliff, needing repeat charges in a day even on light use, and shutting down from showing 40% or more.
