What's the max weight of paper/card for my printer?
I have a Brother DCP-J4120DW printer and the specs don't say what the max paper or card weight is acceptable. It just refers to 80gm paper, glossy photo card and index card. Any thoughts on how heavy I could go for? I'm hoping to print (through the rear A3 input tray) some family history charts and heavier grade would be…

Antivirus and whatnot for Windows 11 laptop
My wife has a new Windows 11 laptop which only she will be using, and that mainly for watching films on Prime, messing about with her photos, and web-surfing. She never goes near any dodgy sites, and is very switched-on about never downloading anything she's not sure of. Given that the laptop has Windows Defender, does it…

Hard to read some emails on phone
I use my phone to check my emails every morning but find emails from certain organisations quite tedious to read if I access them using BT email via the BT website. The one below is the latest example. As it’s only a short message it’s not that much of a trial, but with longer emails containing what could be quite detailed…

Signal strength on wireless home security cameras?
I've been asked to look out to see what's suitable. Obviously wired would be the best option but currently looking at wireless & then maybe that way no expensive installer needs to be called in. Looking to pick up an area of the house. Problem is it's probably as far from the router as you can get on the property. I'm not…

Samsung colour laser printer - model Xpress C430W - suddenly stopped working.

Bang & Olufsen Beolab 18 Oak Lamella Floor Standing Speakers - seriously?!
Just amooosed me as I idly searched for new speakers. These B&Os have - I think pretty obviously - been designed for aesthetics as the major priority, but I can accept they must also have 'decent' audio quality. But, many £k's worth of audio quality? They were nearly £10k new. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256571971129?For a…
