Should I encrypt my laptop
I was wondering whether I should encrypt my laptop - in case it gets pinched ? I believe that Win 10 comes with encryption now - which I presume can be carried out "on the fly" ?

However it's so old that the battry would give about 30 minutes before it shuts down. I had to replace it because it was starting to get slow now, I put up with it for a very long time, and boy after…

I can get into everything else but not that website. Some background details - thisismoney was my homepage at the time of the upgrade, the problem is only…

Windows 10 upgrade (from Win 7 Home edition)

How do I switch on Bluetooth?? Windows 10
Hello This must be so simple but I am grappling with a Bluetooth speaker on my pc which keeps going off and on (ie works for a few weeks and then some setting changes and it stops).

Monitor Storage Solution
I've been asked to come up with a solution at work for storing our spare monitors. We have about 20, 22" flat screen monitors that have had the stands removed because when installed on a desk they are attached to a monitor arm. I'm thinking that something like a hanging file type affair that I can put a monitor in each…

Samsung Gear S Watch
I'm moving from Apple to Samsung and want a replacement for my Apple Watch. The one that draws me the most is the Gear S but it seems to be difficult to get unless you go on eBay. I have seen second hand ones go for £150 but this is new for a bit more: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182033237725 It seems too cheap really but…

So what's all this then?
This ebay item - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271710324113 apart from having a riduculous price cannot have any purpose - it is just a BNC male to BNC female or in other words a very very short extension. Apparently 57 sold too. I've seen stuff with silly prices on eBay before and guessed it was the sellers way of making sure…

T-Shirt Prining Paper
This isn't so much a problem, but a search for advice. In 1999, I printed some tshirts for the millennium celebrations. I still have my tshirt, and although the whiteness of the tshirt has discoloured, the printing is as good as new. The quality was so good, it looked as though it had been screen printed. I can't remember…

Internet issues
For some time I have been having issues with occasional dropped connections. Zen technical support put it down to electrical noise. Something made me wonder if the elderly Linksys WAG354G router might be dodgy, so I bought a Netgear D1500 to try. Before I fitted the new router my internet connection died completely.…
