Hi all.
The LH trackpad button on this laptop is wobbly.

Q - can the button be prised off safely, without damage, to expose…

Air fryer temp & time conversions
Not sure if this thread is best served in another forum but this seemed to be the one to fit the most. I'm trying to figure the general rules for adjusting the temp and times in a normal oven to an air fryer. Google's AI states you knock 20 Celsius off and 20-25% off the time. However, I'm assuming the temp is for non-fan…
