Any idea why my phone always thinks the SIM card has been removed
My HTC phone is away being fixed at the moment, and I am having to use my old handset in the meantime.

Humax satellite boxes.
So we are going to leave Sky soon and switch to a Humax box. Lots of secondhand ones around, 1100s and 1010s 1TB seem to be what we want. So is the 1100s a later version of 1010s and do all the 1010s boxes have Freetime or just the later ones as it does not appear in all the pics and details?

Laptop still recognises old broadband connection

Calling All Website Owners
You will have implemented the absurd, pointless EU "This site uses cookies" notice on your website. May I suggest we all lobby the UK Information Commissioner's Office suggesting they abolish the UK implementation of this bit of EU nonsense the day we leave the EU? This is the UK version of the cookie rule and this is the…

Table lamp - fuse keeps blowing
I am not sure if it's the right section where to post this so I apologise if it's not and hopefully a mod will move it to the right one. Basically I had to replace 3 table lamps already because they just stop working. Replacing the light bulbs doesn't help. With the 3rd one I realised it was the fuse that had blown. I…
