Besieged by 'posts' on my Facebook page.
This started a week or so ago - any absolute bludy screed of cluckin' posts, where I used to have none (well, apart from the couple of sites I've chosen). It's bludy endless - must be a dozen or more per day. My index finger is worn out deleting the 'stewrads, and 'blocking' them. Why did this start up? Ta.

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…

Toshiba TV power button flashing red and green.
It doesn't happen all the time, and is more of an irritant than a problem. I do wonder why it does it. Sometimes it flashes for a while and then the normal screen comes on. At other times it will flash and then switch off. When I switch back on it may go straight to the normal screen or flash for a while first. I can't see…

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…

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…

No sound on mobile
I cannot get any sound out of my Motorola G7 power, which is about 5 years old. I first noticed it when an alarm didn't sound, and then when trying to make a phone call. I've done a couple of different resets, but to no avail. From an internet search, it appears that Motorola do have sound problems, but I couldn't fully…

TV Apps that allow downloads to a windows laptop?
I'm looking for any of the TV servies that allow downlaods straight to a windows laptop, to be able to watch later without wifi. I'm going to be travelling without any wifi.

Cloud Storage that's Reasonably Priced
I'm looking for a cloud storage for my macbook. I'll need to store up to 100 Gb over multiple computers (not phones) for a couple of years. Tempted by Idrive's Mini deal for 100Gb for under £3 per year. I know that sounds too good to be true so I'm asking if anyone has used them and can let me know how well it works, or…

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…

Laptop 2016 - I want to install Windows 7 on
I have an older laptop that came with Windows 8.0 but upgraded to 8.1. I want to carry on running CorelDraw X4 that won't work on Win 10 or 11. It's been suggested that Win 7 run on this old laptop would work well with CDX4 - and will not be connected to the internet. But I can't get the Win 7 installer to work. Changes…

42-43" TV Recommendation (£500-£750)
Could anyone recommend based on experience and any good offers out there. Looking to buy in next 24-48 hours. Just watch tv for sport, movies and general viewing (not gaming) I have done some further research and the Samsung QN90D 43" is appealing. But is it good value at £700? Could I get a similar TV at a lower price?
