Cookies in Firefox on new computer
I've recently bought a new laptop (ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UM3402Y), on which I use Firefox 134.0.01 on Windows 11 Home 24H2. I've noticed with a few websites that the banner to select which cookies to allow is shown briefly then disappears before any option can be selected. In most cases this doesn't appear to impact site…

Microsoft Project 2010 - Linking Activities
Hello, I hope someone can assist with a task I have been asked to "force" in a project gantt chart created within Project 2010. It requires a task duration to be subordinate to the dependencies. It may not be possible - in which case, at least verifying that would be a conclusion of sorts. Task 1 start 20/01/2025. Duration…

stupid questions about Whatsapp
OK so I've discovered that my landline international phone plan doesn't include calling mobiles in France. And my French friend only has a mobile now. So has suggested I get set up on Whatsapp. I think I can manage this - I use WA at work on both my mobile and laptop so I think I can get it to work. That said WA was…

How do you delete WhatsApp messages which have been backed up in Google docs?
I heard once a WhatsApp message has been deleted from Google docs due to encryption it can't be found by anyone or is very hard. How do you delete particular messages in there?

Networks supporting 2G only phones
My mum doesn't use the internet at all on her phone; just calls and texts, and very very low use at that, so she has a 2G only phone which suits her just fine. Tesco Mobile have texted to say that with their upcoming 3G switchoff she will need to get a new 4G capable handset. Their site is clear as mud but suggests that…

Could I get a similar TV at a lower price?

Need a laptop but confused, please help
I'm looking to get a new laptop and I am finding all of the choice a bit of a minefield to be honest. I am very nervous about getting another one, because the last one was a disaster. In my defence it was bought for me as a gift but the issue was that there was not enough storage space on it to run Windows updates. This…

Apache OpenOffice Spelling Check
I have the Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 and when I use OpenWriter I cannot get the Spelling check. The spelling box gets open but, although I selected it, it seems inactive and says ''Spelling None". Furthermore, in a different version of OpenOffice the misspelled words were wavy underlined in red and that was quicker than…

Have I allowed myself to get [Facebook] scammed?
Scrolling away this morning & saw an ad which caught my eye. Get this [item] for [dirt cheap]. I thought ok this will be nonsense or a scam but on looking further the comments were full of people who'd received their item (apparently). I checked some profiles & they weren't the glossy photos that some scammers take off a…

Google Photos & the photos on your [Android] device...?
So I thought (and am 99% sure I've also read somewhere) that if you delete a photo from Google Photos then it'll also delete it from your device (and vice versa - assuming you have the backup turned on of course, which I do & pay for the Google One sub) But for me at least this turns out to not be true. Say I take 3 photos…

Understanding Google Drive
I thought Google drive allowed the user to make a backup of files whilst keeping the original file on the original hard disk. That's the way it's been since I started using it. However after (unwisely) choosing to sync files today I think it has been taking files off my hard disk and only storing it on the remote cloud…
