Digital projector for gaming devices, cheaper ones, eBay probably
To pass the time during these dark and boring months I’d like to buy a cheap digital projector that would have HDMI input from a Wii U - nothing too expensive or fancy but adequate. I’ve looked on eBay and the number of cheap ones is astonishing. I assume all the ones less than about £50 are poor quality? Although for the…

Will a Windows 10 PC connect happily to two different network routers?
Current single connection is Ethernet, to a standalone router which runs music replay devices. No phoneline or internet connection to this router. If I enable WiFi, and connect to the household WiFi router, which is internet-connected, will Windows 10 be happy with this double-network connection arrangment?

How much quieter is burning a DVD from a SSD drive? PC Vibration Reduction
DVD burning is a dying art now, just wondering whether any MSE techies still do this often using a SSD drive and can remember the noise difference (if any) between using a SATA drive. We burn lots of DVDs, as we put CVs we do for customers on them as part of a service. However, the vibration noise from simply burning a DVD…

iPhone Notifications (or lack of!)
Can anybody help please?...... As I don't use my mobile all that much so I am still using an iPhone 5s with iOS 12.xx which is the latest it will take. My Apps are kept up to date as far as possible.

iTunes Band Pictures Wrong
Hi, This isn't exactly a massive issue but it is annoying nonetheless. I have a fairly sizeable music library on iTunes and in the most part it picks up a picture of the band but some either don't get the picture at all or get a seemingly random one. To be clear I'm thinking of the picture that is assigned to the band…

Phone screen protector needed
Hi, I just bought one of Samsung s10 5g phones. I've attempted, and messed up, two of the neoflex wet application screen protectors. Not used these newer ones before, but they're an absolute ball ache. Before I order and no doubt mess up another one, is it actually required? I have a rugged outer case, and the screen is…

Lost one AirPod.
Today on my walk, I must have dropped one of my AirPods. Using the ‘Find My’ app wasn’t any help. It just shows the location of the right one, not the missing left one. It shows both together. I retraced my steps which was tiring as it’s a 7 mile walk but with all the snow, and the AirPod being white, I couldn’t find it. I…
