Best way to make an uncrackable passphrase, using What3words

So a passphrase such as"responded impressed licks Theoldmiser444" is uncrackable due to its length. If you want to make a secure passphrase, just go to What3words.com, which is a website that…

Can an Android 'Sheet' be backed up to Windows 8.1?
This is what I'm getting for just one of my Android Sheets, a rotating symbol on my phone which isn't fixed with a restart.

PC not starting
Hi, My dads PC isn't starting - I suspect it is probably the power supply unit, but wondered if there could be any other reasons ? I opened the box this afternoon and the light on the motherboard is on, but when I press the on button the processor fan gives a very brief stutter but nothing else happens. Thanks for any help.

Connecting to Brother printer
We've just got a Brother DCP-L2660DW mono laser printer. Got it set up easily enough on the wife's laptop and it works just fine from that by wi-fi. I now want to use the printer with my laptop. Do I set it up the same way as we did with my wife's laptop, or do I just do the "add printer" routine on mine? Both running…
