New tv sound problem
It’s an LG and I got it yesterday. My old TV was a smaller LG and I thought this would be similar but the sound is awful, especially voices. It’s hard to describe but it’s like the voices echo and have a ‘tinny’ sound which really vibrates in my ears. A bit muffled too, as if the speakers are stuffed with tissue. I’ve got…

Received scam text message. Very concerned because...
I've just got one of those track your parcel text messages from a number I've checked out and is definitely a scam number. Besides, I'm not expecting a parcel.

I purchased a game on the eShop (on the console, as opposed to the webstore on a browser) and it very subtly mentioned that it was a DLC, needing the full game…

Label printer recommendations
I have been thinking of purchasing one of these devices for a while, possibly one of the Dymo series. Have looked at Amazon reviews, and it's difficult to decide which to purchase. I would have preferred a wi fi model, but from users' comments, they are not overly reliable connecting to signals. Therefore, probably a…
