DNS problems on PC
I’ve got a Windows 10 PC that’s connected via ethernet cable to my wireless router. It’s developed a syndrome recently where, when I first use it after it’s been left overnight (I rarely turn it off) it refuses to access the Internet saying there’s a problem communicating with the DNS server. I know my internet connection…

I got an email saying they would be auto-renewing for £65 plus £25 for VPN which was when I realised that the VPN had not downloaded properly.

Which is more secure: banking app or browser?
I've put this query in the Techie forum, rather than Banking, as I'm more interested in the security of the software, rather than the banking experience. Is banking via your online browser or via a banking app more secure? Or neither? Just wondering if any techie experts have any views/knowledge to help?

Best format to provide archived emails to a lawyer - old thread; solved.
We're in the process of starting some legal action and the substantial email trail is important evidence/information. I thought I'd done a good job on sending masses of information to the lawyers on CD, well organised in sub-directories etc, but it seems they're already having difficulty with it. I saved each individual…

It goes on to say that my…

Briadband in remote areas in campervan
I like to go for cheap getaways in my campervan and would like to get online sometimes. But my favourite place to go, in the Brecon Beacons, has zilch coverage and no 4g. I've done a bit of research and some say that there is a way round this by using a bit of kit with an external booster. The kit I'm thinking of buying is…

Sub Titles out of sync
Very noticeable on BBC News this, although it's not confined to the News, but also affects other channels/programmes. Perfect sync on flipping adverts though! Just a vent really as I suppose there's nothing I can do about it, and the fact that the adverts sync on the commercial channels, means it's not a TV problem. I…
