Powerbank
So, I think I might get myself a powerbank.

I've been on the TPS for decades and it's reduced spam calls no end, but obviously some people still ignore it.

These have been going on for years and should have been…

DVD Player instead of Streaming Apps?

And then on top of the subs you still often need to pay to rent or download the films, I am considering going back to a DVD player.

Very hot CPU on laptop.
Hi. I've been given a neat wee HP Pavilion laptop (14-ce3501na) to wipe for its new owner. It's immaculate, and looks little used. Reset seemed to work fine, but I was aware that the fan was very noisy, and ran for much of the time at high speed - wife complained bitterly. Anyhoo, when setting it back up for the new owner…

As I understand it, Google Drive isn't the most secure of things. What about doing this kind of thing within Proton Drive? As far as my understanding is,…
