My 14 year old son has been using a Lenovo laptop for few years and I think it's finally given up and can't cope with the gaming.

It's a rented house so has to be strictly no drilling. I've scoured the internet and only come up with one possibility (Arlo) but it's unclear as to whether the…

Smart TV disable internet connectivity
Hello I know absolutely nothing about smart TVs so apologies for the extremely basic questions and for what is likely to be incorrect terminology. I currently use a 10 year old TV with an Amazon firestick and a freesat PVR which works wonderfully. Unfortunately my older eyes now need a bigger screen (55+) which means I…

Glary Utilities.
I've always found this to be a good reliable piece of software. However, it now appears incompatible with my PC, a Lenovo laptop, running Windows 11.

So the 24 has no memory card, unlike the S20 that I had before it & the S10 I had before that. I've spent ages trying to get a picture on my computer but I couldn't find it.

Microsoft To Do - possible to stop others completing?
I use to do for various lists not just things 'to do' & share some of these lists. One person I share with seems to have clunky fingers or something as they're constantly completing entries that aren't to be completed. I've had a look but can't see how I can restrict them to just viewing only. So just asking in case…

Can I edit these videos somehow?
Several years ago, my wife paid for some downloads of instructional videos. The ones I've managed to find seem to be ordinary mp4 or WMV files. She no longer needs to refer to much of the content, so is there any way we can edit out the bits that are now irrelevant but keep the bits she's still learning from?

Cancelling nordvpn
Got a call from my bank about £135 from nordvpn so blocked it. Then realised it's my one year VPN subscription. I'm not paying that but do I need to officially cancel somehow to avoid a ccj? How would I do that? Actually if there's a cheaper Nord subscription then I'll do that too or another company. I have mcaffee anti…
