All in excellent working order still. https://www.creative.com/myvado/products/vadohd3g.aspx Now that I am long retired I don't need them, however I can't think if they are going to be useful to anyone in these days…

Coffee machine descaler
I've had a L'Or Barista coffee machine for a few months, and it is nagging to be descaled. Is there a favourite descaler for this sort of machine? I have some citric acid crystals, and I could make my own descaler liquid. Would that be a bad idea? How do you get the taste out, and what do you recommend please?

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.

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…

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.
