Speed of a NAS?
For accessing files over the network from a NAS, how quick can you access those files on a PC? I have a Western Digital MyCloud Home which is connected to the router as is my PC - both via cat6 cable. Accessing the WD is frustratingly slow.

Go on any train, or any waiting room, and make the slightest keyboard click and people go nuts...they start stamping their feet , or whatever , repeatedly in kind of "revenge noise". I mean, the other day, I was in M&S Cafe near Southampton, and I was on my…

How is my PC not good enough to handle YouTube shorts?
Or Facebook videos for that matter, but normal YT videos are ok. YT Shorts are horrendous for this. I've clicked on one right now to view it but it's a bit jittery. I accidentally scroll down to the next one, realise what I've done & scroll back. Nothing loads. I scroll to the 2nd video again which freezes immediately but…

Shopify - do I have to use it?
I am ancient, and I tend to be very wary of making payments on the internet. Most times, I'm sufficiently reassured by having to enter my card details (not saved on any site as far as I know) and then do the thing with a code to my mobile phone. But every now and then, I am invited to pay with "SHOP", which I understand to…
