Sometimes fb shows recent post, sometimes not.
Using a Samsung A5 mobile to access FB when I click on the icon that represents myself to get to my wall, then friends, I scroll down passing each friend. Where one of them has a new post, it states that in blue. But not everytime. Sometimes there is nothing in blue, but they have posted within the last hour or so. Why not…

** Universally baffled about Remote **
Thanks to a lot of great advice on this board from other MSErs, we have now said goodbye to Sky's satellite service. We only watch a few Sky channels anyway, so have paid £14.99 instead for a NOW TV stick with 3 months' "Entertainment pack". It works just fine. The only problem is, the only problem is: (1) Television is a…

MP4 to DVD converter
Friend has daughter's wedding video on USB and asked me to burn it to DVD for her. Simple, I thought, but the videos are in MP4 format - I have Freemake on my PC which I have used in the past, but they are now asking for a payment or watermarking/branding the image making it unreadable. Any suggestions for a decent free…

Noise Cancelling Headphones - What should they Block Out?
Just bought my very first pair of noise cancelling headphones (Sony XM3) and used them at home yesterday and on my commute to work today. How much noise should they be blocking out or have i got unrealistic expectations of what they should be doing. So sitting in my lounge I could still hear the TV just about while in…

Looking at a few soundbars on a budget. Struggling to choose.
Struggling based on i don't actually know what's decent and what's not. What i want to achieve: basically an improvement on the TV speakers. A good improvement. I don't expect to achieve cinematic surround sound. Budget: £150 at the tops. None of the 'if you just stretch' because £150 is me stretching to £150 from £100. I…

Which secure email for banking?
AOL / Yahoo (Oath) were being pushy in supplying phone numbers and now sending emails saying i have not logged in for over a year and my accounts will be removed if i dont login. These are used daily and login using Thunderbird. Time to change my banking emails before they get blocked. I had a Gmail email account blocked a…

Upgrade a laptop with Crucial
My sil has an Aspire ES 13 series laptop Although only about two years old it's very slow. I checked on Crucial looking for an upgrade which would ditch the HDD and replace with a SSD.

How to upgrade my W7 PC to SSD & W10
At some point this year I plan to upgrade my Dell W7 PC to W10 and at the same time do it as a clean install on a new SSD drive. For some reason my PC wasn't eligible to get the free W10 upgrade (not sure why as it was a new system bought from Dell), so I figure I should buy a W10 licence (ebay?) in case I again hit…
