iPod repair business
I could do with my iPod (Classic 7th gen) being repaired. I suspect it'll be way too old now for Apple to bother touching. Has anyone reading this sent their iPod off anywhere & can recommend a company or not really? I have a dead pixel or two which I'm not really that bothered about to be honest but would probably see…

Private FB group question
I belong to a private fb group. (medical condition group). A couple of fellow members have suggested I start my own. I'm quite happy to, however I'm unsure about one thing.

is it necessary to post this on facebook?
A friend has posted this on facebook and it seems to be saying that we should all post similar. I'm not in the habit of copy and pasting things that others post (all those "my real friends will put this on their timeline and I'll know they love me" things). But this implied data protection issues. So I thought I'd pop it…

Hi, I am about to order a new SIM card. Does anyone know why companies ask if I have an iPhone or Android? Currently, I am using a Samsung Android, but will be switching in the future to an iPhone. My understanding is that all new SIM cards come in 3 form factors (plastic can be broken to size) and they should all work on…

Never needed to entertain this myself so know nothing about it. If someone was out on the road all week & wanted a wifi connection (specifically they referred to their Xbox) what would they need & the best way to go about it? They'd be living in a wagon basically for at least 5 days a week.

Backing up documents in Windows 10
I have a Windows 10 HP Envy laptop upgraded with a 500gb SSD of around 2017 vintage. Reading in computer magazines about backing up your data they never seem to mention the built in back up in Windows 10 of File History.
