Can I charge a phone with a 9v mains charger?
I've found this 'adaptive' charger in a drawer which hasn't been used for many years. I was surprised to find that it states 5v - 9v for its only outlet, a 2.0 USB socket. I'm struggling to think of a Samsung tech product I've had that might have needed more than 5 volts. Maybe it's 5vDC on 110vAC and 9v on 230v? I can't…

Baby alarm
I wanted to buy a cheap Amazon Echo device to use as a baby alarm. I looked on Amazon, and they are all over around £50. This came as a bit of a shock, as I bought an Echo Flex last autumn for a fiver! Is there anywhere to get one at a more reasonable price? Or something that is compatible and would do the baby alarm job?

Hi folks, Got a smartwatch on a well know website (ali.......) happy enough with the watch, and it receives and makes calls ok through bluetooth on phones.

Working via remote access to home pc
Is 'working' via remote access to home via an internet cafe or even using data, viable? I know that one can remote in and search for files etc, even view a file maybe but, can I for example open a locally stored software and make edits etc or is it likely to be too clunky and slow to be possible in reality? Thanks
