I had 2 websites with Jimdo. After they tried to increase the cost of the one from £60 to £220 last Autumn I contacted them and said I was not prepared to pay the rise. I transferred the content to my other website I had with them. I looked shortly after and they had removed the site from the internet. I have now received…

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…

Or something that is compatible and would do the baby alarm job?

SmartWatch incoming calls default to smartwatch.
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
